New records obtained by DeSmog shed further light on the role the U.S. government has played to help implement the privatization of Mexico's oil and gas industry, opening it up to international firms beyond state-owned company PEMEX (Petroleos Mexicanos).
Obtained from both the City of San Antonio, Texas and University of Texas-San Antonio (UTSA), the records center around the U.S.Mexico Oil and Gas Business Export Conference, held in May in San Antonio and hosted by both the U.S. Department of Trade and Department of Commerce, as well as UTSA.
They reveal the U.S. government acting as a mediator between Mexico's government and U.S. oil and gas companies seeking to cash in on a policy made possible by the behind-the-scenes efforts of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's U.S. State Department. State Department involvement was first revealed here on DeSmog, pointing to emails obtained via Freedom of Information Act and cables made available via Wikileaks.

Was she too busy counting her donations from Wall Street, and hadn't counted the "Big Oil" pile yet?

A few weeks ago, Congress passed a law allowing exports of oil - no need for swaps now. The price of gasoline will surely go up much sooner.
Now that there is so much oil and gas that it can be exported, it only stands to mean that subsidies for Oil and Gas Giants should be removed-A Policy of Bernie Sanders. And in no way would Hillary Clinton ever call for removal of fossil subsidies or regulation, which I believe, lead to her recall problem at the campaign speech.
In my opinion, Hillary Clinton is a corporatist, a third way member.
