The House Republicans could just toss all of Mueller's work in a safe and just give Trump a free pass to continue his criminal behavior. Unless it is leaked, or Rosenstein has the option of releasing at least parts of the report to the public, the lawless Republicans will make sure this whole investigation will just disappear.
