Could Trump Secretly be Planning to Fire FBI Director Robert Mueller?

Amid confirmed reports that the sitting US President is not planning on firing the FBI director; speculation that Trump may secretly be conspiring to eventually dismiss the FBI director have rose among left-wing voters as well as numerous moderates. This as right-wing media sources, specifically Fox News, boost the conspiracy theory of a bias Mueller probe aimed to 'destroy the Trump presidency'.
In our opinion, whether or not Mueller has his very own political mindsets and opinions about Donald Trump in his personal life; it should not, and has not, effected the since outcome of his investigation. Whether or not his relationship with ousted-FBI director James Comey could be a factor, we think Mueller is more professional than it.
In fact the reports of bias lead against the special counsel were dismissed by the Deputy AG (Attorney General) Rosenstein as irrelevant unless they can prove two former-agents who texted anti-Trump messages before being brought onto the inquiry team had in any way changed the effect of their investigations.
Donald Trump told media sources he was not going to fire Robert Mueller from his position as FBI director following reports and rumors, coming primarily from Democrats in high-ranking government official spots, suggested he would do so. "No. Are you surprised?" he told a reporter after landing in Washington D.C.
Although Republicans used Trump's denial to their advantage, seemingly backing the President's goals to let the inquiry continue, the left simply wasn't convinced. Many suggested that he may secretly be plotting to dismiss him amid more reports from Fox News in attempt to discredit US Intel agencies.
A US Senator today made a speech in effort to slam any further attempts by Republicans that are aimed to shut down Mueller's inquiries as the risk of Mueller being fired rose questions across America. He suggested that any dismissal of the FBI director without valid evidence that he was bias would be an 'abuse of power'. "No one is above the law, not even the President. Congress must be clear that firing the special counsel [...] is unacceptable, and would have immediate and significant consequences."
Other lawmakers suggested that if Trump himself dismisses Robert Mueller, it can lead to more accusations of obstruction of justice. It would be yet the third claim of this very impeachable offense - one being his early-presidency dismissal of then-FBI director James Comey, for what was at first seen as no apparent reason.
Meanwhile a few months ago major Republican lawmakers, Senators and even House Republicans suggested that if Trump takes a move to terminate Mueller's inquiries that impeachment articles and talks would be inevitable, citing they aren't sure what the outcome would be but it would be 'extremely damaging to the Trump presidency'.
Recently, Trump's personal attorney accused Robert Mueller's investigation teams of illegally obtaining tens of thousands of emails from Trump's transition team. Confirmed by Mueller's team and many lawmakers and attorneys we interviewed, the emails were public and Mueller claimed that they never obtained emails illegally.
It was the most recent attempt to discredit and destroy Mueller's inquiries, specifically proposed by the conservative-Republican and extremely far Trump-backed news agency Fox News, called 'far-right' by numerous Democrats following their deep support of the President since last year. Many also called them 'state-run and propaganda' since 2016, as hosts like Sean Hannity continue concerning shows.
