SCOTUS pick? Brett Kavanaugh has the only qualification Trump really cares about.
He has a "robust view of presidential immunity." Essentially he thinks, as Trump does, that the president are above the law,
So Trump is packing a court that will keep him from answering for anything in Mueller's investigation,

From Kavanaugh:
"Congress might consider a law exempting a President—while in office—from criminal prosecution and investigation, including from questioning by criminal prosecutors or defense counsel. Criminal investigations targeted at or revolving around a President are inevitably politicized by both their supporters and critics. As I have written before, “no Attorney General or special counsel will have the necessary credibility to avoid the inevitable charges that he is politically motivated—whether in favor of the President or against him, depending on the individual leading the investigation and its results.” The indictment and trial of a sitting President, moreover, would cripple the federal government, rendering it unable to function with credibility in either the international or domestic arenas. Such an outcome would ill serve the public interest, especially in times of financial or national security crisis.?
"Even the lesser burdens of a criminal investigation— including preparing for questioning by criminal investigators— are time-consuming and distracting."
