Mueller clearly states that he attempted to but did not because his staff refused to do what he asked.
More than once.

It is more that his staff did not carry out his wishes that saved him.
You are looking at just the aspect of "firing Muller". Trump Fired Comey that's the entire reason the special counsel was started, to look at Obstruction of justice by Trump and finish what Comey started as far as the Russia investigation.

Trump then went on to fire Sessions, He tried to get Rosenstine to then end it.. Then he got Barr in place.. It wasn't 1 thing the Muller report stated 10 instances of Obstruction of justice they investigated.

You do not have to be successful to be charged. He fired Comey and forces Sessions to resign over the Russia investigation that is 100% with out a doubt Obstruction. He simply couldn't fire enough people in order to be successful.. Instead he got Barr to go in front of the public and lie about what the report said.

That once again is obstruction of justice.. Everyone ignored Trump's Obstruction attempts until he got to Barr.. Barr did it it at last point possible and has now obviously been found out..
