Hillary Clinton tersely defended her use of a private email address and secret home server today during her first national interview of the 2016 presidential campaign, declaring, 'Everything I did was permitted.'
Clinton said that 'people should and do trust me' as she proclaimed that she went 'above and beyond' in providing the State Department with 55,000 pages of her emails.
She wouldn't talk about the allegations involving her family foundation, now ran by her daughter Chelsea and husband Bill, contending that she worked there for a short year and a half.
But Clinton said she was 'proud' of the 'very small role' she played in the international charity and the work that it does and said she was used to 'unsubstantiated' rumors being spread about her family after this long in the public eye.

Trust me, 'everything I did was permitted,' storms Hillary as she finally gives a campaign interview and says secret emails are not a problem
.
H-> clearly has no controlling legal authority.
What difference does it make?
BS
‘above and beyond’ in providing the State Department with 55,000 pages of her emails.
Paper pages??? copies???? How the hell is that complying? Thats what you do when you don’t want people to be able to use a search function.
Of course it was - she permitted it herself.
Trust Me was a favorite phrase of mine many years ago when I was first dating.
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.
Da tovarisch, it vas all for de glory of de revolution!!!
The media will agree that there will be no need for further questions now that they have been assured how honest and courageous Hillary is.
In a way she is telling the truth, Obama ordered Amb Stevens death so it was permitted
As soon as I hear these words from anyone ... my spidey sense goes into overdrive.
She has learned well from being married to Bill Clinton.
She did not say it was legal.
She said it was permitted.
She is correct. Do you see the DOJ preparing an indictment?
‘everything I did was permitted,’
Makes one wonder what State’s IT policy was/is. I haven’t been following this very closely, but did they ever subpoena the State Dept’s head IT guy to explain the setup?
When a politician starts a sentence with “trust me”, it is time to run away.
Chelsea runs the foundation? Oh, how I’d love to see her, with her parents, in orange jump suits.
Trust Me.
Seriously.
The only reason you keep your server private in your home is because you have things to hide. Like selling government favors as secretary of state, for example.
I don’t trust her any further than Bill can toss the hooker off his lap.
