We shall see, but the path lies in the reaction Mueller, and thus far the GOP has been willing to dismiss every indictment and call for an end to the investigation.
On that front, the independent national security journalist,
Marcy Wheeler, was on the most recent
Pod Save America saying that the Trump Tower meeting was real (i.e., Russians asked for a quid pro quo in the meeting) and that there's something that she brought to the FBI that's yet to be made public. Given her track record of criticism of U.S. intelligence operations, her going to the FBI seems like a big deal. She also implied that she had a source that wasn't connected to the GOP or the administration who nonetheless knew what was going on inside the White House.
