There is no need to fire him as long as Mueller continues to nail the "bad guys" . I mean these rule of law guys (Trump and Rudy) would never want people guilty of money laundering, racketeering, and trying to taint a Presidential election by entrapping totally innocent Trump campaign workers, family, and the GOP go free? As long as there in investigating to be done and indictments to be brought, they should be very pleased with the job of the US Justice Department. Hell, Trump can even take credit for it himself. Best justice department ever to get rid of all those bad guys under his administration!
And since Trump is a consummate professional with an impeccably qualified WH administration staff supporting him, there is no way any of this could be a distraction to him. After all, Trump still finds ample time to relax and play golf, visit his properties, watch and call into FoxNews, tweet, and hold ego boosting campaign rallies for his next term! Amazing what stamina this man that could live to 200 years old, according to a very esteemed physician, has.
