So, Ms Clinton is opposed to the signing of any more free trade agreement. She has told everybody that story. All right with that. However, her main campaign advisor seems to 
think different. Mark Penn, the advisor, is lobbying on behalf the government of Colombia to get the bilateral trade agreement approved in the Senate. He is doing that because he works for Burson-Marsteller Worldwide, one of the most important lobbying firms in the world, hired ussually by countries to lobby such things as international agreements, financial aid, etc. in Washington.
There is nothing wrong at first glance. Mr Penn works for that firm, that ok. He also advises Hillary on PR, great!. But what the hell was he thinking when he accepted to have a meeting with the colombian govenmental agents. The fees charged to Colombia must be so high that he did not care about the conquence of his action.
Do you know how much does it cost to invite senators expensive meals, trips, gifts an all those luxurious things that tend to awake their best democratic rationale? Apparently, most journalist do not. Othewise, they would not charge against him because of this. Penn has a lot of mouths to feed (his own family, lawmakers, and lawmaker´s families). It is not easy to be a guardian of good policy-making.
Poor Mark, this is not a time nor a place for heroes like you....... Check out the story in the The Wall Street Journal.
