admitted during Congressional testimony on Wednesday evening that despite tons of claims from him and other Obamatrade supporters to the contrary, the process is highly secretive. He also made a gaffe in his House Rules Committee testimony on par with former Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

’s push to pass Obamacare, in which she said infamously said: “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”
“It’s declassified and made public once it’s agreed to,” Ryan said of Obamatrade in Rules Committee testimony on Wednesday during questioning from Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX)

What Ryan is trying to convince House Republicans to do is vote for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals—specifically the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP)—and potentially more deals.
Right now, TiSA and T-TIP text are completely secretive and unavailable for even members of Congress to read while TPP text is available for members to review—although they need to go to a secret room inside the Capitol where only members of Congress and certain staffers high-level security clearances, who can only go when members are present, can read the bill.

I am so ashamed I voted for the ticket where he was the VP candidate. Utterly ashamed. I am not going to do that again.
That’s probably a lie. They will invent some new excuse.
And so many people don’t get that we have a #uniparty. The evidence is legion.
They are not on your (or my) side. Maybe none of them are.
And to be fair, they may be very cognisant that the can kicking is VERY close to the end of the road and it is about to get VERY ugly. So they do things that make no sense to us, but if we knew what they knew we would either do what they were doing or jump off a skyscraper.
Seriously.
The only thing I can figure is that the parties wanted to avoid the embarrassment of making concessions in public, or being pressured to make concessions.
This may have been the best way to make room for concessions.
Don’t talk to me about “should”, I’m just speculating as to “why”.
WHY can’t we just vote them ALL out of office and get some new blood in there?
Or would the ‘new blood’ be worse than we already have?
Its quite amazing the ease with which Obama manipulates Republicans. Just saying....
The purpose of Paul Ryan after all was to make Mittens Romney look good.
You might have wanted to use a different word Pelosi junior.
Not a dime’s worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans anymore.
Me too, I guess then no Jebbie for you either!
‘It’s Declassified And Made Public Once It’s Agreed To’
Then DON’T agree to it.
Thank you.
This is madness. And from Ryan too.
But then again Paul Ryan’s true colors came out a long time ago. I thought maybe he realized the error of his ways. Silly me.
Cocktail parties and brothels that good, eh Paul?
Because those benefitting from government largess outweigh the fed up.
Public schools and the MSM feed the ignorance of cause and effect.
George C. Wallace coined that expression c. 1966, and AL believed him too.
This isn’t how this works. You don’t pass it to see what’s in it. This is just a horrid nightmare, right? Someone say it is...That can be the only explanation. This is NOT HOW IT WORKS. We ALL get to see it, BEFORE it gets to a vote. THAT’S how it works. The fact that we’re even discussing this is utter nonsense.
At one time, I thought Ryan was the perfume to cover up the RINO scent of Romney. Now, I think it is the other way around.
If Jeb is what’s on the ticket opposite whatever ghoul Democrat that weaseled their way onto it too, I’ll just stay home. I’m not going to be an enabler for RINO Establishment anymore.
Yep.... I still remember his capitulation budget....my congressman voted for it along with John Lewis and Hank Johnson. I stopped voting for my congressman because of it.
The odious GOP is the Give Obama Power Party, and also
gave America RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE which it
still -— to this day -— treasures.
No Ryan. No Romney. No supporters of SECRET treason.
