4. Special counsels can be fired by an AG only for cause, and my guess is

that although cause arguably exists, the AG, and Biden indirectly, would prefer to let Durham do his thing because they know there isn't any there there and Durham won't uncover anything that would make a media splash for the RW. He found a couple of procedural fuckups but it's all so obscure and boring that the report will be forgotten soon. If Durham were sacked, Fox would make it look like Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre. Better to let the whole mess fade into well-deserved obscurity.
