This is just another effort by the left to discredit Trump. Time has been a left hit group by the libs for at least 50 years.
The current special counsel regulations specify that the Special Counsel may be disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. The Attorney General may remove a Special Counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause, including violation of Departmental policies. These rules have been in effect since 1999.
So Trump can’t just fire a special counsel and there are strict rules in how and why that take him completely out of the process. This is the usual Time classlessness.

Technically he can - just order the AG (or Deputy, since the AG recused) to do it. Any fallout is political.
I get a kick out of the articles that spin up "not off the table" to "might fire." The "not off the table" remark by Sekulow was one of those theoretical remarks, Mueller might do something really bizarre, so Trump can't take firing off the table.
If the reason the special council was enacted is based on false doctrine, then the AG has every right and moreover has a duty to remove the said Left corrupt political hack, aka Mueller from a FAKE investigation.
Opps... should read, FAKE Matter al la Hillary Clinton’s email investigation... ummm matter.
There is obvious CORRUPTION in the opening of the investigation which will now become Null and Void because it was opened on false evidence and by Political Operatives, i.e. Comey who only keep recorded memo’s on REPUBLICAN Presidents.
They are so busted. Mueller needs to recuse now.
