I believe this is wrong. There was a big thing made of MG saying he was going to allow Durham to proceed in the beginning of this administration. That tells me he could have shut it down whenever he wanted to, but it would not be politically smart. I also mentioned above MG could defund Durham as well.
I did find a good article on the subject but it wasn't entirely clear to me if the AG could fire the SC if the SC has followed all the procedures and regulations that are required. Maybe a lawyer on here could decode this better than me.
Attorney General’s Special Counsel Regulations
To fire Durham, it would have to be for “cause”. I wouldn’t put anything past this administration though. The AG can’t interfere with Durham’s investigation in anyway. That is the point of the SC.
I agree, but the office of the AG appointed the SC, monitors the SC, and if the SC misses one detail of the regulations governing either the SC or the US Attorneys the SC can easily be fired with cause. If Durham fails to brief MG of some effort/ charge/intention (i.e. tries to hide something for fear the AG will stop it) that will give the AG all the ammo he needs. The SC is not nearly as untouchable legally as some people think. However the AG can't tell the SC he can't do something because he disagrees with the SC as long as what the SC is doing follows the regulations and the action is legal.
The whole Special Counsel or the old Independent Counsel thing is a somewhat grey area and is ripe for abuse from both sides (like using it to get a desired political outcome, or keeping it running for years running up a large drain on taxpayer's money).
