Trade is a hot issue in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. But correspondence from Hillary Clinton and her top State Department aides about a controversial 12-nation trade deal will not be available for public review — at least not until after the election. The Obama administration abruptly blocked the release of Clinton’s State Department correspondence about the so-called Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), after first saying it expected to produce the emails this spring. The decision came in response to International Business Times’ open records request for correspondence between Clinton’s State Department office and the United States Trade Representative. The request, which was submitted in July 2015, specifically asked for all such correspondence that made reference to the TPP.
The State Department originally said it estimated the request would be completed by April 2016. Last week the agency said it had completed the search process for the correspondence but also said it was delaying the completion of the request until late November 2016 — weeks after the presidential election. The delay was issued in the same week the Obama administration filed a court motion to try to kill a lawsuit aimed at forcing the federal government to more quickly comply with open records requests for Clinton-era State Department documents.
Clinton’s shifting positions on the TPP have been a source of controversy during the campaign: She repeatedly promoted the deal as secretary of state but then in 2015 said, “I did not work on TPP,” even though some leaked State Department cables show that her agency was involved in diplomatic discussions about the pact. Under pressure from her Democratic primary opponent, Bernie Sanders, Clinton announced in October that she now opposes the deal — and has disputed that she ever fully backed it in the first place.

Tyranny.
When Trump assumes office, he needs to appoint a SOS who will really purge the State Department of all the “career queers” who’ve run the day-to-day operations since the Reagan Days. Admins come and go, but the “policy implementers” stay on for lifetimes doing all they can to undermine GOP admins and put the pedal to the metal when the RATS are in charge!
That’s absolutely true, but almost never mentioned.
This why Hillary will win. All her illegalities are always covered up. So no one thinks she is done any wrong. She is the most protected woman in the world
They must be realllllllly damning.................Just let Guccifer have a computer, he’ll get them ALL!..................
Won’t be easy.
Obama changed many of the offices of what were once considered political appointments that would get refilled after every election with new people, into CIVIL SERVICE jobs that require an Act of God to fire someone. Not just the State Department, but throughout the entire government, so they can’t be fired as easy as they once were, in fact maybe not ever......................

“Obama changed many of the offices of what were once considered political appointments that would get refilled after every election with new people, into CIVIL SERVICE jobs that require an Act of God to fire someone.”
Then create make work jobs for all of those who refuse to go willingly. Paying them to sit on their worthless asses would be a financial bet I’d take in a heartbeat. Also, replace their appointed managers with people who will ride them like white on rice! Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
Hello, neighbors. Can you say ‘partisan coverup?’
I knew you could!
**Trade is a hot issue in the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.**
That’s exactly why they need to be released.
NOTE --- Obama considers TPP central to his presidential legacy and to his foreign policy and economic legacies....there was even a TPA bill---to fast track TPP for Obama.
=================================================
TPP is best understood against the backdrop
of Obama's post-presidential get-rich-quick foundation plans.
NOW ISN'T THIS INTERESTING? few, if any, of the RCEP and
TPP countries contributed to the buck-raking Clinton Foundation.
Looks like the Clintons and Obama divvied up the globe so that each have their own countries in order to collect big buck get-rich-quick foundation donations, honorarium, cosultancies, and int'l insider business deals.
======================================
THE FACTS ARE THESE Obama's trade deal giveaway is a huge scam...best examined against the backdrop of Obama's two tax-exempt foundations (two-that we know of). Obama's priming the pump for donations to his two Foundations.
All of Obama's thinly-veiled actions....
(1) promoting TPA and TPP,
(2) his immigration suck-ups
(3) his non-action WRT ISIS, IRAN....
.....are best understood against the backdrop of Obama's future get-rich-quick plans as an ex-president----more specifically, his two get-rich-quick Foundations (two foundations that we know of).
All these entities control billions of dollars---and Obama is lying-in-wait for his share: foreign donations, lucrative insider trade deals from untapped resources, energy deals, telecom deals, arms sales, consultancies, million dollar honorarium...and so on and so forth.
===================================================
WIKI REFERENCE: Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is a proposed free trade agreement (FTA) between the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) (Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) and the six states with which ASEAN has existing FTAs (Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand). RCEP negotiations were formally launched in November 2012.
Bureaucrats are basically amoral. They are driven by a simple creed:
The only way I can get into trouble is by saying “Yes” to the “customer”. I can not get into trouble by saying “No”. I don’t care if the boss overrides me, because I can’t be blamed.
The White House occupant has ways of keeping the bureaucracy in line, if said occupant wants to.
I’d transfer their responsibilities to Middle East embassies, Anchorage facilities, rural offices in Appalachia and ghost towns throughout middle America. They would have the option of relocating or taking a buyout.
Stunning the differences between Hillary’s yawn producing complaints against TRUMP, and the seriousness of his complaints against her.
TRUMP’s 70’s style manners of speech on women were disgusting, but those too cute by half remarks of his are nearly forty years old now.
Hillary in the 70’s was defending radical black Marxists and getting fired for lies and dishonesty while serving to take down a Republican president.
TRUMP was on the right side of production all of his life.
Hillary was on the government dole all of hers.
US trade is money. Where there is money, Hillary is near by.
TRUMP is used to earning money. Hillary is used to corrupting it.
If I was a paranoid kook, I’d think that this email server thing being made such an in-your-face case that Illary will so obviously skate away from, is bring done in order to disgust holdover FBI/Agency personnel into leaving/retiring. Makes it easier for them to backfill with loyalists to weaponize for the Left like DOJ and IRS already have been, for instance.
I’ve no doubt that anything these Leftists think they can get away with, they will try to get away with - up to and including overthrowing the US Constitution.
