You’re right. I looked into it after my last post and found the below excerpt.
“Department of Justice regulations stipulate that the attorney general — or, in this case, Rosenstein, — “may remove a special counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause, including violation of departmental policies,”
Lots of articles implying Trump can fire him though. Hope last weeks thread about Trump’s lawyers researching Mueller’s team is legitimate. - These days it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not. :(

Having the President fire Mueller is what they want. That is a TRAP. I understand that Firing the special prosecutor is what Nixon did before all h*ll broke loose and the moves to have him impeached. I believe that is why they are taunting him hiring all these Clinton lawyers, etc.
I believe removing Mueller will have to be done by someone else, the AG folks maybe. Congress can put an end to this anytime too.
