2. and yet.... she didn't reserve judgment on it in her book, the ironically titled

"Hard Choices":

<snip>

She argued for TPP as secretary of state and in her 2014 memoir, "Hard Choices" but has been noncommittal since. She has said on this issue only that "any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and increase prosperity and protect our security, and we have to do our part in making sure we have the capabilities and the skills to be competitive."

So, after leaving office she professed support for it in her book, but now she needs to suddenly reverse course and she claims she's reserving judgment.

How is that not a lie?

Clear on it? yeah, right
