Take months even years to resolve in courts. We are getting majorly fucked over with Trump's expert ability to out lawyer and drag things out in court.

people who have not cooperated with subpoenas to the courts and that will get the show on the road so that after their Aug break they can return, have requested documents and witnesses ready to start impeachment in Sept when they return. All of the stonewalling by this admin and his witnesses will have to go to the courts (probably SCOTUS) and they will win.

Trump will insist he declare executive privilege.
