Of course it was - she permitted it herself.
youve nailed the clinton gift for parsing....PERFECTLY
I saw the interview, and noted that she used the word “permitted” rather than the word “legal”. She didn’t say what she did was legal, she said it was permitted.
This is Clintonian word parsing, such as Bill Clinton defining the word “is” for us. For Hillary to talk about something being permitted, meant that nobody in authority called her out on this, and told her she was violating the law.
