They can't wind it up. If Trump fired Mueller tomorrow all the investigators on the team just keep on investigating. They still keep subpoeanaing and interviewing and putting witnesses in front of the grand jury. Once this thing started and got moving that's it, it's like a freight train. It's only stopping when the investigation has run its course. They're prevented by law from ending an investigation that hasn't run its course.
Trump can try and fire the head of the FBI or maybe a bunch of people at the FBI but there'd be a revolt by the entire law enforcement community, it'd be banana republic stuff. And it didn't work out so well the last timehe tried firing the FBI chief, did it? That led directly to Mueller.
Plus firing people at the DOJ was the beginning of the end for Nixon too.

I can only imagine your reaction if the Kenyan tyrant fired a special prosecutor looking into an expanding mass of evidence of criminality with members of the Obama campaign/administration already facing charges........
