1. One or more of the investigations turn up a smoking gun that makes Trump look very bad. These special investigations have a way of taking on a life of their own. Let's not forget, Ken Starr was put in charge of investigating the Whitewater deal with the Clintons and it ended with them investigating Bill covering up his affair with Monica. If there ends up being something really damning out there, the base could desert Trump.

2. The midterm elections go badly for the Republicans. It will be very hard for the Democrats to win back the Senate in 2018, but the House may be in play. If they take back the House or get lucky and get the Senate or get very lucky and get both back, I could see Trump getting so frustrated with them shutting him down that he resigns.

I don't think he will just resign in disgust. I think he would do it under the guise of "health issues" or something involving family.
