Mueller will almost certainly find something that will take him down -- money laundering, or corrupt taking from oligarchs sent by Putin, or discussing sanctions, or voter data, or even collusion.

If Mueller is left to do his work, DJT is done and he knows it. So he's backed into a corner.

His only hope is to completely disregard the rule of law. Fire Mueller or take over FBI or start a war or stage a coup. DJT has been corrupt his whole life. He's not going to let Mueller finish him without a fight.

Get ready.
