The Trump-related SCOTUS cases will be heard in March and decided by June.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/12/13/20997638/supreme-court-trump-tax-returns

The Court’s announcement is not surprising. Shortly before Thanksgiving, the Court stayed a lower court decision that would have allowed the House Oversight Committee to enforce a subpoena seeking Trump’s records. That same order, however, required Trump’s lawyers to formally ask the Supreme Court to review that lower court decision on an extraordinarily expedited basis.

The cases will be heard in March. We will likely know by the end of this June whether the subpoena from the House will be enforced.

there is plenty of precedent against Trump.
This tells me the Rs on the court want to rule for Trump.

drumpf vs Mazars

https://www.theusconstitution.org/litigation/trump-v-mazars-usa-llp/

Oversight asked Mazars for financial records after Cohen testified about them in Feb 2019. SCOTUS ruling expected June 2020.

drumpf vs Vance

https://www.scotusblog.com/2019/11/president-trumps-taxes-reach-the-supreme-court/

NY AG asked for financial records in August 2019. In Sept drumpf sued to stop them from being turned over.

drumpf vs Duesche Bank

https://www.theusconstitution.org/litigation/trump-v-deutsche-bank-ag-capital-one/

Again, this case started with House committees looking for financial records and according to the link court filings began somewhere around July or before.

So by the time SCOTUS rules, the Mazars and Duesche cases, which both came to life as a result of the House exercising its powers of oversight, will have afforded drumpf over a YEAR of delays from investigation.

How is the Legislative branch supposed to affect oversight on the Executive when the Judicial branch's pace can hold up investigations for over 1/4 of the presidential term?
