In reply to the discussion: Oops! The White House Just Called Hillary Out! Caught in a lie? [View all]pnwmom

If any leaked version since she left office has been accurate, and represents a change from the version she approved of three years ago, then it would be reasonable for her to decide that, due to changes, she can no longer approve of the TPP. Which is what she is saying.
