7. Firing Comey may not have made it worse

Trump replaced Comey with Mueller, who has much less subpoena power and resources than the Director of the FBI did. If the investigation is grinding toward an inexorable conclusion anyway, Mueller's decreased powers are an improvement for Trump over having Comey still on the job.

I think there's bound to be some kind of alt right propaganda attack to try to discredit Mueller. Some pizzagate, swift boat thing is just around the corner. Trump has no scruples whatsoever and is going to pull out all the stops to attempt to remain in power. I'd be shocked if the investigation is allowed to peacefully continue without a major assault on it and attempt to terminate it.
