Clinton: ‘I Am Very Confident’ I Only Deleted Personal E-mail

MITCHELL: "Thank you, madam secretary, can you explain how you decided which of the personal e-mails to get rid of, and how you got rid of them and when you will respond to questions about you being the arbiter of what you release? And secondly, could you answer the questions that have been raised about foreign contributions from middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia that abuse or permit violence against women to the family foundation and whether that disturbs you as you are rightly celebrating 20 years of leadership on this issue?" 
CLINTON: "Well those are two very different questions, let me see if I can take them in order and I'll give you some of the background. In going through the e-mails, there were over 60,000 in total sent and received. About half were work-related and went to the State Department and about half were personal. They were not in any way related to my work. -- I had no reason to save them but that was my decision because the guidelines were clear and the State Department was clear it is that employee's responsibility to determine what is personal and what is work-related. I am very confident of the process that we conducted and the e-mails that were produced and I feel like once the American public begins to see the e-mails, they will have an unprecedented insight into a high government official's daily communications, which I think will be quite interesting. With respect to the foundation, I'm very proud of the work the foundation does. I'm very proud of the hundreds of thousands of people who support the work of the foundation, and the results that have been achieved for people here at home and around the world. And I think that we are very clear about where we stand, certainly where I stand on all of these issues. There can't be any mistake about my passion concerning women's rights here at home and around the world. So I think that people who want to support the foundation know full well what it is we stand for and what we're working on."
