Could Trump bury Muellers findings? Yes if Republicans help him do it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/04/25/could-trump-bury-muellers-findings-yes-if-republicans-help-him-do-it/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.83cfba6a12a0

<snip>
If there is one thing we have discovered from some of the revelations in recent days, it’s that we have no idea what special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has established thus far. But will the rest of us ever learn what he has learned?

That question is about to come to a head. The Senate Judiciary Committee is set to debate and vote on a measure this week — called the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act — that would protect Mueller’s investigation from any effort by President Trump to quash it.

One big question being debated behind the scenes is this: Will the Mueller protection bill include a provision that requires disclosure of his findings at the end of the investigation?

According to sources familiar with the situation, senators on the Judiciary Committee are debating a provision that would do just that. However, some complications have developed that could also lead to a bad outcome — one that could help congressional Republicans micromanage Mueller’s investigation in the name of oversight.

that they can shut Mueller down but the investigations will continue because Mueller has fail-safes in place
