New details about how she identified public records in her possession reveal her press conference at the U.N. to be wildly misleading.

Hillary Clinton asked the public to trust her during a recent press conference at the United Nations, when she stated that she has already complied with transparency laws by turning over all public records she generated as Secretary of State.

She had no business making that claim. A Time magazine report about the process used to identify public records in her possession shows that she cannot possibly know if she is in compliance with the law. And juxtaposing her process with the words used in her press conference shows her core claim to be wildly misleading.

Unless she can disprove the story, her credibility can only suffer from the comparison.

To understand the impression Hillary Clinton created at her press conference, before additional facts were available, it is best to begin with her words. What follows are the parts of the event where she characterized the emails she has turned over.

She began:

...after I left office, the State Department asked former secretaries of state for our assistance in providing copies of work- related emails from our personal accounts. I responded right away and provided all my emails that could possibly be work-related, which totalled roughly 55,000 printed pages, even though I knew that the State Department already had the vast majority of them. We went through a thorough process to identify all of my work-related emails and deliver them to the State Department.

A reporter at the press conference followed up, asking, "Can you explain how you decided which of the personal e-mails to get rid of, how you got rid of them and when? And how youll respond to questions about you being the arbiter of what you release?"
