I still don't understand what this has to do with the claim that HRC was "pushing" the current trade treaty at times when it didn't yet exist.

According to the article cited in the OP, "45 times Secretary Clinton pushed the trade bill she now opposes."

Again, the obvious question: How could she have been "pushing" a trade bill that didn't exist at the time she was allegedly "pushing it"?

She could have been "pushing" the IDEA of such a trade agreement - but unless she is prescient, she couldn't have been pushing the specific agreement that is now about to be voted on, because it wasn't yet finalized at the times the author of the article has cited she was "pushing it".
