so there are no "details" to be shared.

What has everyone in such a tizzy is that the negotiations seem to be touching on subjects that do not actually deal with trade.

If you actually read what WikiLeaks "leaked", there are a lot of proposals by different countries that other potential signatories oppose. The TPP is pretty much dead - not because of what any nation does, but because the potential signatories can't agree.
