Congress is allowed to look at, but not take notes on? You are saying that the TPP will not include the leaked parts we have seen? That the TPP is just now starting to be negotiated? That those in Europe concerned about the TTIP are also upset about a non-existent agreement? That folks in other TPP countries who are objecting to this are delusional Obama-haters?
