Sounds like there's a good chance he may have committed some light treason.
Trump's loyal to his friends and supporters. As a fellow supporter, I take comfort in that.

Trump is awful at crime and corruption. Terrible
Six of the previously undisclosed contacts described to Reuters were phone calls between Sergei Kislyak, Russia's ambassador to the United States, and Trump advisers, including Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, three current and former officials said.
Conversations between Flynn and Kislyak accelerated after the Nov. 8 vote as the two discussed establishing a back channel for communication between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that could bypass the U.S. national security bureaucracy, which both sides considered hostile to improved relations, four current U.S. officials said.
Flynn told Rice to delay approving the mission. His explanation for the delay was not recorded, according to McClatchy, but the decision to delay approval lined up with Turkey’s interests in the region. Turkey has been a staunch opponent of the United States partnering with Kurdish forces in the region.
The recommendation to delay the mission approval took place during the Trump team's transition period, ahead of Trump's inauguration.
Flynn was under investigation for lobbying for Turkey during the presidential campaign without declaring it. He admitted earlier this year he lobbied on behalf of the Turkish government - and received payment of more than $500,000.

Senate investigators: Flynn won't honor subpoena
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/18/politics/michael-flynn-lawyer-subpoena/index.html
Would someone who knows more than me about the subpoena power of congressional committees (or congress) explain what the committee's options are? Is there something equivalent to contempt of court?
Not yet, he still has to fire the special prosecutor, then drop a nuke on someone to distract from that action, while rapidly signing pardons for everyone he's ever known, and then riding off into the sunset to Russia.

I'm all about staying loyal to people. Loyalty ends when the other side proves to be disloyal themselves. That is what Flynn did. Trump's loyalty, at that point, should have ended immediately.
Trump needs Flynn in his corner for some reason.
Flynn knows shit about Trump. That seems to be the most logical reason.
