      I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!

      In other instances when Trump or the Hill have been pushing for more action, Sessions and Rosenstein have either referred the issue to the Inspector General or assigned a particular US attorney to review the matter.

          Rosenstein is just keeping him on a arms length, after all what can he now demand? And it will only blow up in his face. Trump was hoping for an hostile answer so he could continue to use the DOJ as hostile to him. Now his arguments are moot.

          I hate to speak the obvious, but I dont think this is going where President Trump thinks it is. Be very careful for what you wish for @realDonaldTrump.
