"She answered, "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

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.
. . . "Hillary Clinton did sit for an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer which aired on 9 June 2014, after which she was criticized
by some commentators (as she had been before) for not being able to
provide a succinct or definitive answer when questioned about her top or
proudest accomplishments as Secretary of State. But nothing like the
passage quoted above was spoken by Clinton during that ABC interview.

Hillary Can't Name Top Accomplishment As Secretary of State "From 6/10/2014: Last night, Diane Sawyer asked Hillary Clinton
a question that should’ve come as no surprise: What significant things
did she accomplish during her four years as Secretary of State? What’s
surprising is that Hillary didn’t even attempt to answer the question.
She just changed the subject. The Washington Post reported: When Sawyer asked Clinton to detail a marquee accomplishment or signature doctrine as secretary, she gave no answer — an exchange her Republican critics immediately highlighted."ABC is only posting snippets of the interview, but the Republican National Committee made sure to capture the relevant 20 seconds."
