I can tell you that Elizabeth Warren is right about her criticism of
the trade deal. We should be very concerned about what's hidden in this
trade deal—and particularly how the Obama administration is keeping
information secret even from those of us who are supposed to provide
advice.
So-called “cleared advisors” like me are prohibited from
sharing publicly the criticisms we’ve lodged about specific proposals
and approaches. The government has created a perfect Catch 22: The law
prohibits us from talking about the specifics of what we’ve seen,
allowing the president to criticize us for not being specific. Instead
of simply admitting that he disagrees with me—and with many other
cleared advisors—about the merits of the TPP, the president instead
pretends that our specific, pointed criticisms don’t exist.
