No I refuted it. The President still does not have the authority to fire an Independent Counsel. You are correct that the President can systematically start firing AG down the line, but it still takes the AG or the acting AG to fire an Independent Counsel. The President still can't fire one himself.
And certainly the judicial branch can override any inappropriate firing based on appeal.
