Obviously, an investigation of any political campaign would include the candidate themselves.
Do you not believe that Hillary Clinton would be considered part of the Clinton Campaign?
Comey, pressured by Benedict Donald, was able to assure the orange menace that he wasn't being investigated as an individual (which, technically, he wasn't). This was perhaps the argument Comey was having with his FBI colleague(s).

At the conclusion of that briefing, I remained alone with the President-Elect to brief him on some personally sensitive aspects of the information assembled during the assessment.
