Are there actual reasons that keep him from this or is he protecting himself from criticism from the other party? Most likely perhaps is that this is vote bait (not that there is anything particularily wrong with this, it is politics). People get mad when professional fighters act like ruffians outside the cage or when politicians act in the way the system requires

He could do it to tomorrow. He could clear them out now. Then there would at least be a chance a few honest ones left might actually pursue criminal investigations.
It has never made any sense to delay.
Thus trump must be not doing it for some bad reason.

They serve at the pleasure of the President. Glad to know President Trump is pleased with the Directors.

Swamp draining incoming! /s
Oh he'll fire one of the guys he appointed if elected?
You realize he'd win if he did it before the election right?
Hes had four years to clean things up.
In those four years he got rid ONE swamp creature: Bruce Ohr.
In that same four years he appointed or presided over the appointment of:
Kavanuagh - bush's point man on the patriot act and NDAA.
Wray - FBI's point man for protecting communists
Barr - leftist obstructionist and bush-era swamp creature
ACB - pro-lockdown "I love america, thats why I cant weigh in on abortion. I love blacks so much I'll adopt two haitain children but wont rule against prebirth murder."
He'd win if he fired any of his own appointments, namely Barr or Wray. And yet his excuse has been, over and over again "i'm powerless to do anything, the dems keep blocking me!" while claiming in the same breathe "if I win the election I'll get rid of these people! (who I had a hand in putting in!) Drain the swamp!"
And we're supposed to buy this bullshit?
"adding swamp creatures to the swamp is the same as removing them! I promise!"
It's fucking orwellian nonsense.
