It's not that "complicated". No matter what claims Mark Meadows might want to make for executive privilege, Fifth Amendment protection, being On a Mission from God... none of that matters. The law is pretty damn clear. You still have to show up in person before Congress and make your claims, on a question by question basis, why you can't or won't testify. No one gets to say they're just not going to bother to show up.
If the DoJ is dragging their feet on something that simple, and you add on top of that that their secrecy always gets broken when they get as far as interviewing people during investigations, and that many important people who should be in the know are also expressing impatience, I'd say the burden of proof is on you that the DoJ is doing their job, not on people complaining that they aren't.
