Must be nice to be a privileged Democrat. The American public still has not been able to read the TPP documents because ‘the most transparent administration’ every refuses to make the details public. That didn’t stop Hillary Clinton from getting to read it though. She says that’s what caused her flip-flop on TPP.

Hillary Clinton is drawing head scratches from the White House for saying she decided to oppose the Pacific-nation trade deal after “looking at it” — even though the official text is not public.
The Democratic presidential front-runner addressed her flip-flop on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a deal she backed as secretary of state, at Tuesday’s Democratic debate.
She acknowledged she once called it the “gold standard,” but added: “It was just finally negotiated last week, and in looking at it, it didn’t meet my standards — my standards for more new, good jobs for Americans.”
She suggested the agreement would not help raise middle-class American wages.
Yet while the U.S. and 11 Pacific Rim nations finalized the accord earlier this month, the final text has not been released, a fact confirmed by the White House on Wednesday.
“I noticed that, too,” White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said when asked about Clinton opposing a deal whose text has not been posted.
Of course, it’s highly possible, if not likely that Hillary Clinton is just a bleeping liar and never ‘looked at it’. Hillary Clinton always has excuses for her lies and flip-flops and the Democrat media complex loves it. How will she spin her way out of this one?
