And my argument is that if muller is really after Trump, he cant fire him. Ive backed it up multiple times. He doesn’t have the legal authority to fire him,

Then explain to us why Congress is trying to pass legislation to prevent it?

Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa., has scheduled a hearing for Tuesday, Sept. 26, to discuss "special counsels and the separation of powers." His spokesman, Taylor Foy, confirmed that the hearing will focus largely on two bipartisan bills to shield Mueller, whose investigation Trump has denounced as "a witch hunt."
One bill, sponsored by Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Chris Coons, D-Del., would allow a special counsel who is fired to challenge that dismissal in federal court. A panel of judges would have to review the challenge within 14 days. The legislation would be retroactive to May 17, when Mueller was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
"Our bill ensures that, if the President tries to protect himself by firing the Special Counsel, or if someone tries to fire the Special Counsel without good cause, a court, not the president, will have the final say," Coons said Tuesday.
