In reply to the discussion: Cables Show Hillary Clinton's State Department Deeply Involved in Trans-Pacific Partnership [View all]2naSalit
(104,417 posts)19. It is precisely the job of
the Secretary of State to promote the agenda of their president regardless of personal views on any topic. You do what your boss wants you to do, that's the job. I work for a government agency and it is my job to do the job I was hired to do without inserting my personal views, opinions or agenda during the course of doing my job... it's also part of the oath of office that we all swear to upon entry on duty.
I see that those who are desperate to make some ugly rumors stick to the candidate chosen by the majority of the voting public make use of the possibility that many people won't recognize this fact of doing one's job.

If it's not a problem why did Hillary run away from these facts during the primary?
