On a tip from Ed Kilbane
Senior National Correspondent
“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked!
My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know, the remnants of prior situations and mind sets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn't do that and I'm proud of that. Very proud. I would say that's a major accomplishment."
Hillary Clinton 11 March 2014
Even Joe is more confused than usual.
I do recall watching this online some time over the past six months to a year ago. A male reporter was interviewing Hillary and the question of her accomplishments as Secretary of State came up. I replayed the clip several times thinking I wasn't paying close enough attention to understand her answer, but it became obvious there was no answer. Now all I can find is transcripts of the interview which are being discredited by various media as fake. My recollection of the interview from the online video is precisely recounted in the transcript that is making the rounds. I replayed it several times trying to see what I missed. So what happened to the video?

It's doubtful that Hillary Clinton made such a statement, however. None of the numerous reproductions of this quote we've found on the Internet makes any mention of whom Hillary Clinton was speaking to when she allegedly said it or identifies the specifics of the setting in which it was supposedly uttered. (Where did this event take place? Was it a speech or an interview? Who asked her the question? What else did Hillary say on that occasion?)
They've also found no record of Clinton's having engaged in any public appearance or interview on 11 March 2014 during which she might have said what is attributed to her, nor any news account or transcript that references such a quote (from that date or at any other time). As well, the quoted words apparently didn't begin showing up on the Internet until months after they were supposedly spoken, rather than immediately afterwards.
False. http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/achievements.asp
