Related: About this forumPolitifact rates Clinton's claim her email practices were "allowed" as FALSE
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/may/31/hillary-clinton/fact-checking-hillary-clintons-claim-her-email-pra/Our ruling
Regarding her decision to use a private email server, Clinton said, "It was allowed."
No one ever stopped Clinton from conducting work over her private email server exclusively. But thats not the same thing as it being allowed. Offices within the State Department told an independent inspector general that if she had asked, they would not have allowed it.
The report from the State Departments Office of the Inspector General shatters one of Clintons go-to phrases about her email practice. We rate her claim False.

She could have avoided all this if she had only asked.
Assuming she didn't ask, get turned down, and then go ahead and do it anyway.
Which is probably what she would have done.
