why has trump left this coup conspirator in office
Easy question. His own party doesn’t support him and is using the Mueller coup to hamstring him. Ultimately the GOPe goal is to slow his America First MAGA agenda that their big corporate donors do not support.
If Trump fired him, all the analogies to "Night of the Long Knives," "Saturnday Night Massacre" and Nixon's firing of Archibald Cox (first attempt: Elliot Richardson, second attempt Bill Ruckleshaus (both resigned instead), then actually carried out by (none other than) then-Solicitor General Robert Bork).
The net effect of all the histrionics that would ejaculate from the Left would 1) certainly distract and hinder President Trump's ability to advance his agenda, perhaps very long term, and 2) it would have a good chance of changing some, possibly even sufficient votes to support an impeachment. Despite the example of Bill Clinton's resilience against his impeachment and Senate debate for potential removal, a comparable Trump chapter, while very extremely unlikely to remove him, would certainly be used to attempt to diminish further his moral ability to lead throughout the rest of his life.
Few over fifty need to be reminded about how extremely poorly Bork was treated in his Supreme Court nomination hearing and what that means about the long memory of the Left's vengeance. (That, after President Ronald Reagan had nominated him.) Being "Borked" was quickly added to the lexicon, in response to the high visibility of the meme.
