He doesn't direct their actions, no. That's why he appoints a director. But the director serves at the pleasure of the president, so if the director institutes a certain policy like this and doesn't get shitcanned for it, it's necessarily the president's policy as well. While Obama claims not to have been in the know, he also doesn't seem too concerned given the fact that his Attorney General has been obstructing the investigation of the matter to the point that he is or was facing contempt charges over it.
