How will you react when Trump/GOP scraps the investigation?

Prepare to be disappointed. Again
The Mueller report was the real nothing burger as many of us warned you.
Tell me how it feels to be disappointed, starting with Judge Garland, the election and through the Mueller report. I am willing to learn from someone with such vast experience.
How's that wall coming along? Those tax cuts working out alright?

Move escalates standoff over a key witness in president’s effort to curtail the Russia probe
WASHINGTON—President Trump on Monday directed former White House counsel Don McGahn to rebuff a congressional subpoena to testify the next day, escalating a standoff over a key witness to the president’s efforts to curtail and shut down the special counsel’s Russia investigation.
The White House sent to the House Judiciary Committee a memo from the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel that argued Congress can’t compel the president’s senior advisers to testify about their official duties.

Cohen told lawmakers Trump attorney Jay Sekulow instructed him to falsely claim Moscow project ended in January 2016
Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former longtime personal attorney, told a House panel during closed-door hearings earlier this year that he had been instructed by Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow to falsely claim in a 2017 statement to Congress that negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow ended in January 2016, according to people familiar with his testimony.
In fact, Cohen later admitted, discussions on the Moscow tower continued into June of the presidential election year, after it was clear Trump would be the GOP nominee. Cohen is serving three years in prison for lying to Congress, financial crimes and campaign finance violations.
House Democrats are now scrutinizing whether Sekulow or other Trump attorneys played a role in shaping Cohen’s 2017 testimony to Congress. Cohen has said he made the false statement to help hide the fact that Trump had potentially hundreds of millions of dollars at stake in a possible Russian project while he was running for president.

Oh, Michael Cohen?
I am sorry to hear that.
Probably Trump will recognize that he is screwed now and resign tomorrow.

Don McGahn skips House hearing on the Mueller report
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said he and the rest of the committee will hear former White House counsel Don McGahn's testimony, one way or another.
"Let me be clear: This Committee will hear Mr. McGahn’s testimony, even if we have to go to court to secure it," he said. "We will not allow the President to prevent the American people from hearing from this witness."
He continued: "We will not allow the President to block congressional subpoenas, putting himself and his allies above the law. We will not allow the President to stop this investigation, and nothing in these unjustified and unjustifiable legal attacks will stop us from pressing forward with our work on behalf of the American people."
"We will hold this President accountable, one way or the other," he said.

Just apply for one,approval is a near certainty
Also rare is for FISA warrant requests to be turned down. During the 25 years from 1979 to 2004, 18,742 warrants were granted, while only four were rejected. Fewer than 200 requests had to be modified before being accepted, almost all of them in 2003 and 2004. The four rejected requests were all from 2003, and all four were partially granted after being submitted for reconsideration by the government. Of the requests that had to be modified, few were before the year 2000. During the next eight years, from 2004 to 2012, there were over 15,100 additional warrants granted, and another seven being rejected. Over the entire 33-year period, the FISA court granted 33,942 warrants, with only 12 denials – a rejection rate of 0.03 percent of the total requests.
