Instead, he is imploring the DOJ to do it for him. What's up with that?
I think he's leaning on the DOJ given they need to approve wiretapping and he's also not the most credible person in the public opinion right now. I mean, what would a press release do that this doesn't? This also enlists the DOJ so it seems like a 2 for 1.
