Obama Admin's TPP Trade Officials Received Hefty Bonuses From Big Banks

Republic Report reports Obama Admin's TPP Trade Officials Received Hefty Bonuses From Big Banks "Officials tapped by the Obama administration to lead the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade negotiations have received multimillion dollar bonuses from CitiGroup and Bank of America, financial disclosures obtained by Republic Report show."

I really haven't been following the TPP story too closely (not that there's much reporting on it). But this just falls into the same revolving door corruption that Lessig talks about.
