Officials feared that if they called on outsiders to help with the technical details of how to run a commerce website, those companies could be subpoenaed by Hill Republicans, the former aide said. So the task fell to trusted campaign tech experts.
What does this even mean? Congress can’t subpoena “trusted campaign tech experts”? What law/rule is that?

Which is why they only hired “trusted campaign tech experts” instead of people who actually knew what they were doing.

They can, but the trusted experts can be counted on to lie, cover up, and totally snow Congress. When it's all over, Congress would praise them for their cooperation and commend their efforts to put together a complex system, the likes of which the universe has never seen.
