Why didn't they call all of these witnesses and subpoena in the House where they are in charge? Nothing kept them from calling any witness they wanted in the House.

Because their impeachment inquiry was a phony one. Without a House vote granting them specific subpoena power, there is no court enforcement power to require people to give testimony or produce documents. That's why they want McConnell to do their dirty work.

This must be repeated.

They never actually sent subpoena's as they had no authority to. They sent letters of request which could be ignored without penalty.
