4. IF they are willing to push to get the material

frankly, I don't see Barr/Twittler turning over one single piece of requested information and there is no means of enforcement that Democratic leaders are willing to use.

Ultimately, I suspect that even if the SCOTUS rules that congress is entitled to the information, he'll defy the order and nothing will be done about it.

I'm feeling very down these days, since it seems the only thing the house is willing to move forward on is possibly a finger wag or a somewhat unflattering letter in his permanent record.
