Hillary Pledges to Put Bill in Charge of the Economyhttps://politicalwire.com/2016/05/15/hillary-pledges-to-put-bill-in-charge-of-the-economy/
"SNIP.............
Hillary Clinton has always made known that she wants Bill Clinton to have some kind of role in the White House should she become president, but over the past few weeks shes begun to reveal more about what exactly that would be, ABC News reports.
Said Clinton: My husband, who Im going to put in charge of revitalizing the economy, cause you know he knows how to do it. And especially in places like coal country and inner cities and other parts of our country that have really been left out.

That way Hillary could have clean hands on TPP when she pivots her position: "My husband says this is necessary to grow the economy. Not my words-- his."
