Memories Hillary Clinton can recall
While Hillary Clinton can't even recall the most basic details of her private email server, you can rest assured her memory is as sharp as a whip when it comes to other matters:
1) She gave a speech in China calling for women to have rights. She does not recall, however, any mention of China's buildup in the South China Sea, or even that there is a South China Sea. Nor does she recall putting any pressure on China to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons, since she is to this day unaware that North Korea is even trying to develop them.
2) Supporting the Iran deal that caused Iran to give up nuclear weapons. Mrs. Clinton has a firm memory of this but cannot recall small details, such as Iran's ability to monitor its own weapon sites and the loopholes that will allow them to continue to enrich uranium, develop ballistic missiles, and fund terrorism, since Mrs. Clinton believed that Tehran is too preoccupied with pistachio nuts and carpet exports to focus on terrorism.
3) Working to get full health benefits to reservists and National Guard members. Mrs. Clinton remembers this well, and is also sure she voted to provide guns and war material to said military, but she doesn't exactly remember which votes those were.
4) Creating an ambassador at large for women’s issues. Mrs. Clinton remembers this well, even inviting her husband to vet the candidates for the position. Unfortunately, she has no memory of discussing women’s issues with major foundation donors from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, where women have only slightly more rights than cocker spaniels.
5) Supporting military intervention in Libya. Mrs. Clinton remembers this well, though she doesn't remember what organization came to power after Gaddafi was overthrown, nor does she have any memory of America ever having an ambassador to Libya, thinking we had not reappointed one since President Reagan pulled ours out in the 1980s.
6) Mrs. Clinton persuaded the Chinese to agree to cut carbon emissions in the distant future. However, she forgets exactly how man-made activity causes global warming, since only 3% of carbon emissions are man-made.
7) Hillary remembers getting CHIP, a health care insurance plan for children, passed, and even remembers voting for it, four years before she entered the Senate.
8) Hillary remembers setting up the Bill, Hillary and Cheelsea Clinton Foundation, but she doesn't remember getting any donations from countries she met with in her day job while she was secretary of state. Hillary instead distinctly remembers being secretary of the interior, not secretary of state, and having no contact with foreign governments who gave large donations to her foundation, which she temporarily forgot even existed while she worked in government.
9) And of course Hillary remembers every day of Bill Clinton's tenure, except the days where he was impeached, lied under oath, denied having sex with "that woman," and forfeited his law license, and one or two other minor events of what has turned out to be their very successful joint co-presidency.
So generally Mrs. Clinton has a great memory, at least when it comes to her successes.

Hillary remembers well the time she came under sniper fire, landing in Bosnia. The only problem: she was videotaped:
