We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

This community is run by volunteers so please don't test the justice system, as with all justice systems it is critically underfunded.
I think you lost me there. No charges have been brought, or even suggested. Nor will they be, because Pam Bondi heads the very organization that would bring them: she'd have to be kicked out of the AG role first.
The subpoena is simply for Bondi to be forced to testify under oath for the House Oversight Committee, as opposed to just showing up. Whether that makes any difference or not is up to whatever personal respect she may still have for the law, and I'm not holding my breath.
But what it does do is create a path of personal legal responsibility for whatever filth tumbles out of her mouth under oath. That's not important today, but could be in whatever future moment in time Congress feels like resuming its own co-equal Article I powers and duties in regard to rogue officials. Not a promise, and definitely not charges. Just a caution with potential future bite.
