Well, the question is somewhat rhetorical.......
........
The latest "controversy" concerns whether Trump IS or is NOT under Mueller's investigative web......Trump tweets that he is.....while his talking heads attorneys deny that he is since they have not been notified of such an investigation targeting Trump (mind you that whether Trump is or is not does not mean that his underlings are not under investigation.)
Now, we must acknowledge that neither the DOJ or Mueller as special counsel is legally required to inform their possible target of an investigation.
However, the WH could directly call the DOJ (not Sessions but Rosenstein or the 3rd person in charge) and directly ASK whether Trump is a target or not.....
The answer, of course, could be one of 3......Yes Trump is a target; No he is not;or We can't confirm or deny.
Such an answer would place the DOJ in an awkward position......but the more interesting factor in all this is the WHY the Trump team refuses to simply call the DOJ directly....
