Tom was sure that Janine had some damning evidence that Frank was the one behind the deaths of Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara), prostitute Rachel Posner (Rachel Brosnahan) and US representative Peter Russo (Corey Stoll).
With Spacey getting the axe due to his scandal, his character is expected to take a fall. Frank may be assassinated or be sent to prison for the rest of his life.

The pieces of evidence she has accumulated about Frank's many crimes will ensure that he will not be stepping out of jail for a long time.

Under of the guise that they would talk about the situation, he invited her to the White House. Frank pushed Catherine down a flight of stairs, out of the security camera's reach.
