I do know that when a judge wants you in his/her courtroom, he/she expects prompt attendance on the specified date and at the specified time. Anything other than promptness is viewed as a "Bad Thing" and a "Waste of the Court's Time".
I've seen bench warrants issued for missing miscreants in local courts. Some included instructions to law enforcement for expeditious pickup.
Can this happen at the federal level in civil cases? I would imagine that Federal Judges have that power at their discretion.
If I were a Federal Judge and someone pulled a no-show multiple times (even if it's across multiple courts), I would seriously consider some paperwork for some Federal Marshals to force future compliance.
"So, will Senator Feinstein call for an investigation into her own leak? Will she call herself a traitor? We'll see... "
Though I realize this is a rhetorical question, a serious answer is warranted.
NO!
I believe Senator Feinstein is a Platinum Charter Member of the "Do as I say DAMMIT! Not as I do" Society of Purchased Imperial "Public Servant" Righteous Royalty. She's therefore immune to any of the consequences she would impose on others. Simple really. {sigh}

Bench warrants? Just curious.

"So Steele went randomly driving around Miami at 6 am and magically found Lutz's friends, but not Lutz? Really?"
Lutz has friends? Really?
Do these friends have names? Phone numbers? Addresses? IDs? US Citizenship? Gainful employment?
