It can't be that everyone who investigates or poses a challenge to Trump is dishonest or partisan. It's remarkable if it were true. If you extend a fraction of the sketism you have over the motives of those investigating Trump to that of Trump and his allies is it so hard to believe there might be some wrongdoing? You don't have an issue with believing the Democrats are corrupt, they aren't that different to Republicans.

This is now a separate track to the Mueller investigation. So even if he fires Mueller this investigation would continue. Mueller did what he was meant to do and pass it on elsewhere.

Maybe Trump can fire the people in the NY Attorney's office too and then fire anyone who investigates his allies further but the US has checks and balances, you can't keep firing everyone who investigates the President.
It seems that it is Rosenstein and not Mueller who is on Trump's list to be fired.
Mr Rozenshtein, a visiting assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Law School points out that "There is a certain logic for Trump to fire Rosenstein but not fire Mueller on the theory that acting gradually to hamstring the investigation is going to be politically much less problematic than acting really abruptly" said Mr Rozenshtein, a visiting assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Law School. Mr Trump could then attempt to install “a less independent, more pliant” deputy attorney-general in his place, he added.
