What I know about what’s it says comes from Senator Jeff Sessions

Jeff Sessions would be my first pick if he were running, but he isn't. He might have actually read the bill but more likely he is briefed by his staff on what is actually in the bill. In any case what is in the bills is always more than it seems because of enabling implementation agencies, which actually do have law making power, they just call it something else.

Just look at the water grab currently taking shape, the EPA can effectively control your property if you water your grass in such a way that water is left standing.

Cruz's wife will sooner or later be injected into this subject, as should McConnel's wife.

I just don’t believe that Senator Sessions would lie when he says HE, not his staff, read the bill.
“Senator Reads the TPP and Exposes Its Contents; Other Elected Officials Should Do the Same”

And I guess congressional staff are not allowed to read the bill:
“Extreme secrecy eroding support for Obama’s trade pact
Classified briefings and bill-readings in basement rooms are making members queasy.”
If you want to hear the details of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal the Obama administration is hoping to pass, you’ve got to be a member of Congress, and you’ve got to go to classified briefings and leave your staff and cellphone at the door.
If you’re a member who wants to read the text, you’ve got to go to a room in the basement of the Capitol Visitor Center and be handed it one section at a time, watched over as you read, and forced to hand over any notes you make before leaving.
