Nearly four years ago Trudeau broke federal ethics laws by pressuring a former justice minister to intervene in the prosecution of a Montreal-based engineering firm.

    Jesus Christ. F in the chat for the national post’s comment moderation team

    ‘john Morris’ has made like 4 veild rape threats against JT in the last 15 minutes. Unreal.

    Full disclosure: I would rather a gerbil with distemper for PM than JT, but I’d rather that same gerbil be stuck in a cage with my balls than have pollievre for PM.

        He’d continue what he’s doing now. Chasing conspiracy theories, and looking to create a home run scandal to own the Libs. He’s been an MP for 19 years and has one legislation accomplishment in that time https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/pierre-poilievre

    While under oath, when asked if there was pressure, Wilson-Raybould stated no. CORRECTION: (I was not recalling this correctly. It was in an interview afterward and not under oath. My apologies)

        Yeah, because that seems the opposite of her testimony to the House of Commons justice committee.

        I do not. It wasn’t during testimony or questioning. it was during an interview afterward here https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/jody-wilson-raybould-interview-transcript-1.5086036

        There’s more here. I guess if the Cons are going to put us through this clownshow again, we need to get read in on what we know: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/gerry-butts-testifies-commons-committee-updates-1.5044709

      From the link you posted below:

      When asked about Michael Wernick:

      I, over the course of many months, had a sustained level of political pressure on me to interfere with a prosecution — a situation that I found to be untenable.

      Like all good politicians, it sounds like Trudeau outsourced the pressure to his bagmen:

      The prime minister never directed me to interfere in the prosecution.

      But

      political pressure that was placed upon me to interfere with a prosecution, which is something that is entirely inappropriate.

      So, sure did Trudeau get in her face and threaten her? No. Did his people? Yes.

      Is Trudeau ultimately responsible for that? Yes.

        I think not. Is it possible Wernick was just a lousy employee? Yes it is. The bottom line is Wilson Raybould had an axe to grind. Many crappy employees lash out. It happens.
