DNC Chairwoman claims the FBIs investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails isn't about Hillary Clinton

Even in the face of the FBI boss scoffing at Hillary Clinton’s description of the “investigation” into her email practices as a “security inquiry,” the head of the Democratic Party is now insisting the front-running Democratic presidential candidate isn’t even a focus of the probe.

“Secretary Clinton isn’t even a target of this inquiry, investigation, whatever ‘I’ word you want to use,” Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz told Fox News on Friday.

Asked to back up her statement, Schultz said she’s “repeatedly been told that” – though she did not say who might have told her.

But the claim that Clinton is not the focus would be appear to be challenged by recent developments in the case.

Senior aides to Hillary Clinton, including Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, have been interviewed by FBI agents in recent weeks.
