There is a "technicality" here. If DOJ guidelines say the POTUS can't be indicted, then technically, he can't be a target of an investigation. That's the theory here - if Rosenstein said any such thing, its based upon the DOJ policy about indicting a POTUS. It doesn't mean that he isn't being investigated as a target.
