Clinton Emails: Secret Negotiations With New York Times, Trade Bill Lobbying Revealed

[Fawke Em]

An email Oct. 8, 2011, to Clinton from her aide Huma Abedin gave notes about the state of play in Congress on the proposed trade pacts. The notes provided Clinton “some background before you make the calls” to legislators.

Two days later in an email titled “FTA calls,” Clinton wrote to aides indicating she had spoken to Sens. Jack Reed of Rhode Island and Jim Webb of Virginia, both Democrats. She told the aides she had talked with “Webb who is strong in favor of all 3” trade agreements, and then asked, “So why did I call him?” — indicating she was otherwise phoning to try to convince wavering lawmakers to support the deals.

Only three years earlier, Clinton wooed organized labor during her presidential campaign with promises to oppose those same deals. She called the South Korea agreement “inherently unfair.” She also said, “I will do everything I can to urge the Congress to reject the Colombia Free Trade Agreement.” Clinton has lately courted organized labor’s support for her current presidential bid by pledging to oppose the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, a deal she repeatedly touted while secretary of state.

And people are supposed to believe her new position on TPP? I hope labor unions' rank and file see this.

1. "Only three years earlier..."

"Only three years earlier, Clinton wooed organized labor during her presidential campaign with promises to oppose those same deals."

She tried to tell the truth to those unions... she really did

[grasswire]

2. Did you notice those eyebrows?

She raised her eyebrows as far as they could go, to imply openness and honesty.

It's one of her tricks. I suspect she's been coached in body language.

3. i also noticed she shakes her head no and shrugs

seems to be contrary to the words

[grasswire]

5. Condi Rice does that, as well.

When she is lying, Rice shakes her head "no"

I have noticed Jeb doing the same thing.

4. Jesus wept.

6. The Union Leaders who endorse Clinton are selling out their workers. This email just confirms

what many already knew - she made a qualified statement against TPP so she could reverse it later on.

Bill Clinton's Ties To Colombia Trade Deal Stronger Than Even Penn's

I remember noting it back in the time, when I heard in passing that Bill Clinton was giving a speech to an audience in Columbia in favor of a US/Columbia free trade deal. I shuddered and wondered why people don't pay much attention to this, don't understand what's going on. After all, it's important to pay attention and read the signs. Bill SO fulfills my definition of a bag of political sleaze (I don't really like his personal/sexual morality either - it goes totally against my grain and I don't want my nose pushed in THAT again. But that's another topic).

So I googled it and 10 seconds later I got the link above to an article written in 2008, when Hillary was, as usual, lying through her teeth about what she represents.

The Clintons won't change, folks. They won't "evolve". They're highly paid hucksters.
