4. they can't hurry grand juries, and they don't control the time it takes to fight challenges

...to their inquiries in court.

It makes no sense to view the House committee's problems and delays with challenges of privilege in courts, as any different from what the DOJ is dealing with in their own efforts to move the privilege arguments out of the way.

Moreover, DOJ is juggling more than the few perps mentioned in the news. It's easy to run them down over what is leaked out or revealed in actual courtrooms, like the Mike Lee claims of privilege, but there are countless other witnesses, depositions, and testimony that we haven't seen yet which DOJ has been collating since they began their investigation.

Many of the prosecutions DOJ is actively pursuing with grand juries, subpoenas and with actual arrests are still producing evidence which I guess some think should be left on the table in a rush to prosecute perps for misdemeanors, contempt charges for documents they don't need.

Hard to argue the the DOJ doesn't need or deserve what the House has to offer, especially if it will hasten their efforts to move these cases through the grand juries and, ultimately, the courts.
