If Trump did try and fire another FBI head or a bunch of people at the FBI you'd see some kind of fightback from the FBI/DOJ. It would be outright banana republic stuff if he did try and do it. He's currently going properly round the bend over the existing investigation. The fact his campaign was full of Russian spies/agents doesn't seem to made a dent in him, the real crime according to Trump is that the FBI launched a covert probe to see just how bad the Russian infiltration of his campaign was. That's some chutzpah. He's delusional.

The Russian Collusion was being investigated anyway. Jeff Sessions appointed Rod Rosenstein as Jeff Sessions had recused himself. Rod Rosenstein then appointed Robert Mueller to run the investigation....ON RUSSIAN COLLUSION. There's 0 Kirkland, 0 about Trump firing Comey in this special council. The President reserves the right to fire the FBI Director, it's part of his Executive powers he wouldn't really even need a reason. However James Comey LEAKED classified information ADMITTED to doing so and was fired. James Comey also handled Hillary's secret server and lax dealings with classified information very poorly. Trump just appointed Christopher Wray as head of the FBI, why would he fire him? Alright, so let's assume Donald Trump's campaign WAS indeed full of Russian spies/agents.....there were FBI plants in his campaign, why did those fellows do nothing about these Russian spies/agents? The FBI attempted to entrap President Trump and they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and things are going to wind up being very bad for the Deep Staters.
Here is former NSA Director James Clapper ADMITTING that the FBI had plants in Trump's campaign while also ADMITTING to the ineffectiveness of those plants. This ain't good Kirkland and you know it. It ain't good because where are the FBI plants in HILLARY'S campaign? If there are none there, then I'm sorry that's Barack Obama's big fat thumb on the scale in favor of Hillary's campaign and yes THAT needs to be investigated and it shouldn't be allowed to stand.
Mueller was appointed to investigate the Trump/Russia collusion thing and anything arising from that investigation. The Trump obstruction investigation arose from the Trump/Russia investigation. Trump's legal team have recently leaked the questions Mueller wants to ask Trump under oath and half of them are about obstruction of justice, his firing of Comey and so on. Trump fired Comey and admitted two days later in a live TV interview he'd fired him because the Russia investigation was becoming a problem for him. He also told various other people, foreign diplomats etc the exact same thing on the official White House record.
Comey did not leak classified information and did not lie about it. One thing he leaked has since been retroactively classified by the FBI, it was not classified when he leaked it. Trump's official reason for firing Comey, believe it or not, is that he was too hard on investigating Hillary during the election. Trump has obviously contradicted his official reason dozens of times since. There were no FBI plants or spies in Trump's campaign. One FBI informant, a Republican who worked on half a dozwen presidential campaigns from Reagan onwards, tried to find out covertly how much Russian infiltration of Trump's campaign there had been. The FBI used the least intrusive, most conservative method of doing this. If they'd actually been intent on destroying Trump's campaign they could just have publicly arrested the four individuals they had evidence on.
There was no attempt at entrapment. It wasn't Hillary or Obama who employed the four Russian agents. Trump initially denied any contacts or meetings with Russians or any other foreign agents during the campaign. There have now been over 30 documented meetings as well as his son in law trying to set up a secure communication channel
based in the Russian embassy so that the Trump people could talk to the Russians during the campaign without the US intel services listening in. As well as Russia Trump has clandestine meetings with agents from these countries: Israel UAE Saudi Arabia Qatar Turkey but is outraged that the FBI, who are charged with upholding the legitimacy of the democratic process, would try to ascertain during the election campaign (without alerting the media) just how deeply the Russian involvement was with the Trump campaign.
The fact that half his campaign have been indicted and are now cooperating with Mueller against Trump and all the other evidence made public is ignored, instead Trump is asking us to question why he was being investigated at all.
