Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Hillary Clinton "Isn't Even The Target" Of FBI Investigation, "Inquiry, Wh

In an interview Friday morning with Fox News Channel's Bill Hemmer, Florida Rep. and DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz says the pressure on Bernie Sanders to drop out "isn't very high."

"I'm quite confident about where we are in our campaign, preparing to pick our nominee. It is the Republicans that really have a mess on their hands."

Asked about the revelation that a 'security inquiry' is exactly the same thing as an 'FBI investigation', Wasserman Schultz responds: "Secretary Clinton isn't even the target of this investigation/inquiry. Whatever I-word you want to use."

Hillary Clinton for months has downplayed the FBI investigation into her private email server as a mere security inquiry: "I have to let them decide how to resolve their security inquiry."

"How do you know that?" asked Hemmer.

"Because I repeatedly have been told that," she responded.

"Has the FBI shared that with you?" he followed up.

"I am only repeating what my understanding is," said Wasserman Schultz.

I'd sure like to know who told her that? Was it the FBI? The Justice Dept.? Hillary herself? Someone else?

10. Clinton lost her primary talking point

"Clinton used to say, "This is just a security review" to downplay the FBI investigation into her use of her unsecure, homebrew server.

Comey took away that talking point from Clinton when he made it clear that this is an investigation.

So now, Clinton needs a new talking point. Apparently Debbie is unveiling it for her. Ladies and gentlemen, the new talking point is <drum roll>

"Sure this is an investigation! But it's not an investigation of Hillary!"
