cases will be quickly (relatively !) won, such as Richie Neal's request of Trump's Tax Returns. When they started this, they talked in terms of getting a final decision by October, on this particular one. Lewandowski is on a much weaker footing than those who have been working in the WH. I have no doubt that he will either not turn up, or if he does, he will attempt to bat down as many questions as he can. Even if he's caught lying, that still takes time unfortunately. You're right about Barr, but nothing will happen under this Presidency, and the reality is that it is unlikely to ever happen. I would bet right now that a Democratic President will want to heal the country, and scum like Barr will go off into wealthy retirement.
