Whatever the outcome of Mr. Trump’s legal argument, we urge the judge to move on the merits quickly. There are no privileges involved, and Mr. Trump’s major argument seems to be that Congress lacks the authority to investigate him. That’s exactly how a federal judge handled the litigation surrounding Mrs. Clinton’s emails in the 2016 campaign. It was obvious that the litigation should move swiftly and, in particular, should yield public releases of the emails before Election Day. It was a sense of the undeniable stakes of moving quickly when the litigation had such clear bearing on a coming presidential election.
