Yep I stand corrected the FBI Director can be removed by the President:
That is very much in line with what the Supreme Court has ruled over the years, to preserve the power of the President to be fully in charge of the Executive Branch. Since 1968, a federal law has provided that the head of the FBI will have a 10-year term in office. But the situation legally is that the chance to serve a full term depends upon retaining the confidence of the President. http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2016/10/how-independent-is-the-fbis-director/
