The confirmation of Kavanaugh is about Gamble vs United States, & Trump's get-out-of-jail-free cards that he wants to pass out to family & friends. If the stacked SCOTUS implements the rest of the GOP agenda, so be it, but for Trump, this is what it's about.

If Trump were to shut down the investigation or pardon his associates, “the escape hatch, then, is for cases to be farmed out or picked up by state-level attorneys general, who cannot be shut down by Trump and who generally—but with some existing limits—can charge state crimes even after a federal pardon,” explained Elie Honig, a former assistant U.S. attorney in New Jersey. “If Hatch gets his way, however, a federal pardon would essentially block a subsequent state-level prosecution.”
