I doubt even she believes that.

Mika Brzezinski: Are you certain that there are no e-mails or foundation ties to foreign entities that will be revealed that could perhaps permanently impact your presidential prospects?

Hillary Clinton: I am sure and I am sure because i have a very strong foundation of understanding about the foundation, that is, the kind of work the foundation has done is work that went right into providing services to people. As we have said before, neither my husband, my daughter or I have taken a penny for work at the foundation. My work is not influenced by outside sources. I made policy decisions to keep Americans safe. I believe my aides also acted appropriate appropriately. We have gone above and beyond most of the legal requirements, beyond the standards to voluntarily disclose donors and to reduce sources of funding that raised questions — not that we thought they were necessarily legitimate, but to avoid those questions. So we are going to go at this, I believe, in the right way of trying to make sure —

Mika Brzezinski: But it does raise questions. If a Republican candidate who was actually credible was running against you and served as secretary of state and took donations from foreign entities, wouldn’t you be criticizing him or her, and in retrospect, was that a good idea?

Hillary Clinton: I would not be criticizing. I would be looking at the work. People can say whatever they want. I understand that, but if there’s no evidence that there was any conflict I would say, look, I appreciate the work that they did to help 11.5 million people around the world get more affordable medicines, and I appreciate the work that was done to help more people make a living and get a job, and help American kids battle obesity and get better foods.
