latest edition of Hillary's memoir removes all her cheerleading for controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership


Recommended Posts

Hillary Clinton's 2014 memoir 'Hard Choices' is out in a new paperback edition – minus a detail that trade hawk Donald Trump might notice.

The original hardcover book included a discussion of Clinton's efforts as secretary of state to urge foreign coutries to join negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

That 12-nation Pacific rim agreement has become a political football, with the Obama administration cheerleading for its success and Trump rooting for its failure – and Clinton caught in the middle.

Her book's new paperback edition drops entirely the description of her work on the pro-TPP side during a 2009 conference in El Salvador.

[W]e worked hard to improve and ratify trade agreements with Colombia and Panama and encouraged Canada and the group of countries that became known as the Pacific Alliance — Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and Chile — all open-market democracies driving toward a more prosperous future to join negotiations with Asian nations on TPP, the trans-Pacific trade agreement,' the book read in 2014.

Now the entire two-page section that described her advocacy for the TPP is gone, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research

Instead there's a disclaimer on the copyright page noting that 'a limited number of sections' have been cut 'to accommodate a shorter length for this edition.'

In all 96 pages were eliminated, some of them in a way that changes Clinton's public positions just months before the presidential election.

Clinton's position on TPP while she was secretary of state was in lockstep with Obama's, giving at least 45 speeches in which she expressed support for it, according to a tally compiled by CNN

I want to see all her emails regarding the TPP ....you just know the bitch was pulling cash in from all types of foreign nationals to buy her support of it

 

No doubt. How anyone who supports the middle class in the least bit could pull the handle for such a lying cheating cunt who would support more free trade agreements after seeing what they've already done to this country is just sickening...
