This comes across to me as nothing more than proof that Google is doubling down on HRC being elected now.

I'm sure they are, and Google's definitely worked closely with Hillary before. Though at last public claim, even Hillary said she was against the TPP.

  When has Google worked closely with Hillary? I'm not familiar with that story.
  - ocdtrekkie 10y ago
    Hillary's emails include back and forth with Jared Cohen, a former State department employee who now heads a Google subsidiary called Jigsaw (formerly 'Google Ideas'). That should be enough to figure out what search terms to use. :)

      So "Google works closely with Hillary" is sourced to Hillary in the past corresponding with a former employee of hers who is now heading a Google subsidiary? That's borderline tin-foil-hat levels of conspiracy theory. By that logic, Google "works closely" with Oracle via the connection to Eric Schmidt; that's just as believable if you ignore the messy lawsuits they're engaged in.

        If you actually read the details, as I indicated one should, Hillary's email archive includes collaboration with Jared Cohen WHILE he works at Google, on foreign affairs related projects.

        That's still extrapolating from "Hillary corresponds with a past staffer who now works for Google" to "Google works closely with Hillary." I feel like I'd need to be seeking out conspiracy to believe there's more to it than that.

  She said so after she said she supported it. It will be a matter of time until she "evolves" on that matter again. Mark my words, if she's elected.

    > She said so after she said she supported it. She said she supported it while it was being negotiated, and later (as a candidate, when the final text was available) said she opposed the final form, and that it no longer had the specific features she expected the final form would have when she supported it.

      We can debate the "he said she said" until the cows come home. It is no mystery that HRC supports and champions oligarchic policies. The TPP is being pushed by the Obama administration who have added their support to her presumptive nomination. There's no fooling anyone here about what may very well happen. The timing of this is peculiar, but if it has nothing to do with HRC, we'll simply have to wait and see if that is the case.

        > The timing of this is peculiar, but if it has nothing to do with HRC If it had to do with HRC, they could wait; if anything connected to the election, it has to do with their actual support for TPP and concern that no successor to Obama will approve it, so their best chance is for it to get passed and signed this year (given the statements already made by Republican leaders that that isn't going to happen before the general election, probably in the lame duck session after the election.)
