EXPLOSIVE: Hillary Pushed Columbia Trade Deal As Secretary Of State (leftover trade deal from Bush) [View all]

[berni_mccoy]

In 2008, when it came out that Hillary's campaign manager, Mark Penn was negotiating a secret Trade Deal with Columbia for the Bush Administration, he was forced to resign as her campaign manager (even though he continued to be paid by her campaign until the election was over)

Now it comes out with the latest batch of emails that not only did her campaign manager try to negotiate it in secret, Hillary continued the negotiations of this same Trade Deal when she was in office, against the recommendations of the labor unions.

Included in the 881 emails published Friday night are messages highlighting Clinton lobbying for a controversial Colombian trade deal she previously pledged to oppose.

During her 2008 presidential run, Clinton said she opposed the deal because “I am very concerned about the history of violence against trade unionists in Colombia.” She later declared, “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.”

But newly released emails show that as secretary of state, Clinton was personally lobbying Democratic members of Congress to support the deal, even promising one senior lawmaker that the deal would extend labor protections to Colombian workers that would be as good or better than those enjoyed by many workers in the United States.

Froman — a former Citigroup executive who as trade representative was lobbying for passage of the deal — responded by thanking Clinton for her "help and support.” Hormats, a former vice chairman of Goldman Sachs who subsequently was hired by Clinton at the State Department, later chimed in, telling her “terrific job” and “GREAT line on Columbian [sic] workers!!!!!”

More at the link, especially how The Unions objected and how only a couple of months later, reports of abuses of the Columbian workers started to come in.

This is the VERITABLE PROOF that Hillary is a LIAR and WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO THE VOTERS SIMPLY TO GET ELECTED. Nothing she says during this election can be believed to be carried out as policy.

Looks like the Unions are going to get FUCKED again and they made a HUUUUGE mistake in endorsing Hillary, someone who HI-FIVES Wall Street Executives as she BETRAYS labor and the unions for Trade Deals that favor the wealthy and corporations.
