And, you're correct about the case. It is 100% inevitable that Trump will be subpoenaed, that he will assert executive privilege, and that it will end up before the supremes. If Kavanaugh is confirmed, He, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito will decide for Trump. Maybe Goresuch and Roberts won't. All the others will decide against him. I don't think it is 100% certain they will rule the way he wants.
