I don't think he has the mental chops to figure how things look. It's only going to get worse because his family is going to get roped in soon.
And Mueller will do it in ways that Trump can't stop. Just as he's left a bunch of charges on Manafort for use in a state court if Trump tries to pardon him. NY already has several investigations as well.
Mueller is far too smart for Trump. He's getting the truth. And he will reveal what Trump has done. Trump's best course is to stand down asap.
