Even if Congress got the records today, they're only part of an ongoing investigation which wouldn't conclude before the election anyhow (remember that Congress will be in recess for all of August and its members will be busy with their own campaigns after that). And the public might never get to see them at all. This will have no effect at all on the election, and wouldn't even if the docs were available immediately, except that it's another loss for His Lardship.
