Not a good bet…
Disregard the media hype..
Please check this….
Donald Trump is an expert and gaming the legal system….
The House Select Committee has probably 6 months as the most before Midterm politics kicks in and they are done anyways….
How long will this take?
It can be a while, which is the point. Trump used the same techniques to keep the House from getting tax records and other documents, and to prevent officials from testifying, and every step of the legal process can take weeks.
Is there more?
Yes.
Here’s the catch: Trump can essentially challenge things on a dual-track. He wants the courts to eventually rule that he can assert privilege and keep the House from getting the documents.
At the same time, he’s trying to put the transfer on hold while everything happens. All those court filings and requests add up.
What happens if the GOP wins the House?
If the Republicans win the House, the investigation will end at the beginning of 2023….

And just like that?

Another Update on this…
President Biden’s White House does not plan to shield documents related to former President Trump’s ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
White House deputy counsel Jonathan Su penned a letter to Meadows’ attorney on Thursday notifying him that President Biden would not assert executive privilege over the documents requested by the committee from Meadows, citing a “compelling need” by Congress to access the documents in the course of its investigation into the deadly attack….
