Trump cannot directly fire Mueller, though. He can only ask Rosenstein, who won't fire Mueller and Trump can fire Rosenstein and go down the roster to find someone to fire Mueller or resign.

But Trump can't fire the rank and file DOJ prosecutors and investigators who aren't political appointees and FBI agents and investigators.
