"You may scapegoat Andy McCabe, but you will not destroy America… America will triumph over you.”

If he testifies, his legal risk will be extremely serious. If he refuses — or tries to escape by firing Mueller — his political risk will be equally grave. 

Trump himself has led an unrelenting assault on the bureau, with his trademark screeching tweets and verbal outbursts, repeatedly suggesting that the nation's premier law enforcement agency is "tainted."

Republicans, especially President Trump, have consistently escalated their criticism of the bureau during its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
