Now, you might say, well, that's MSNBC, a bunch of ignorant partisan flacks. If you want to know what the State Department has accomplished, as people who really understand what they do, like, say, the State Department.
OK. Let's ask:
The questioner is AP reporter Matt Lee (of all people) and the subject at hand is the State Department's Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review, which is basically a fancy name for "stuff we've accomplished."
This one covers the period between 2010 and the present day, so Hillary was Secretary of State for three of the four years in question, and it covers 75 percent of her entire tenure. As spokeswoman Jen Psaki demonstrates in the video, the State Department itself is able to come up with the exact same answer as the experts at MSNBC, which is not a thing.
This is all territory we've covered before, of course. You can't name a Hillary accomplishment at State because there aren't any, just as you can say the same about her eight-year Senate career. She didn't seek those jobs to accomplish anything except to burnish her resume to make herself appear qualified for the presidency. And when your only goal is the line on the resume, you don't take any risks in the job itself - especially when you really have no idea how to do the job.
Hillary's upcoming book "Hard Choices"
Supposedly Hillary's upcoming book "Hard Choices" is designed to make the case for her candidacy, since no one has been able to do so to date, but as Lee says in the video above, don't hold your breath. Assuming she runs, the case for her candidacy will quickly devolve into entitlement claims and shrieking about Republican sexism or whatever. It's sexist for you to expect Hillary to have ever accomplished anything before she is acclaimed as president. Now stop asking this question. You're a jerk.
