Hillary Privately Lobbied Congress to Pass Trade Deals that She Publicly Said She Opposed:

Hillary privately lobbied Congress for trade deals she publically opposed.


Clinton reiterates opposition to Colombia trade pact in April 2008



Speaking about the Colombia trade deal at a Washington meeting of the Communications Workers of America union, Clinton proclaimed: "As I have said for months, I oppose the deal. I have spoken out against the deal, I will vote against the deal, and I will do everything I can to urge the Congress to reject the Colombia Free Trade Agreement."



Today:


The emails show that Clinton personally contacted members of Congress, urging them to vote in favor of the Columbia Trade Promotion Agreement (CTPA), which was bitterly opposed by organized labor, in both the United States and Colombia, as well as human rights organizations around the world. At the same time, Clinton also lobbied Congress in support of free trade agreements with Korea and Panama

No wonder she wants to keep her emails and Wall Street speeches secret.
