Today, the former justice minister and attorney general’s cache of documents backing up that testimony, plus a new written statement, are slated to be made public by the committee—after its Liberal majority voted down recalling her for a second sizzling live performance. Official Ottawa’s prediction machine grossly underestimated the impact of her debut testimony. Nobody is making the mistake of shrugging off her follow-up document drop.
Over the transom: This isn’t the first leak in recent days to suggest that shadowy figures try to shape the publicly understood narrative of this saga. So speculation regarding whence these tantalizing leaks emanate has become a sort of story all its own. On the source of the latest CP scoop regarding SNC-Lavalin’s dire warnings, the national wire service tucked a little explanation in thusly:
Don’t look at us: Meanwhile, Prime Minister’s Office has denied it had anything to do with the leak of a few days ago that revealed hitherto sacrosanct details of Supreme Court of Canada appointment deliberations. That leak sure looked designed to make Wilson-Raybould appear to have been a justice minister of dubious judgement, and Trudeau a stout fellow for refusing to take her advice.
Wilson-Raybould is fast becoming a martyr in the Canadian Press. Martyrs are usually hard-headed and myopic.
wow..this is the most milk from a nothing story ever. Does macleans even pay reporters? any actual journalists left over there? more of a right-wing spew factory of 'opinion pieces' from partisans still angry Harper lost.

You might want to read the Judges statement before you use yourCon talking points! Please don’t be SO obvious! Trudeau has lost all confidence from his own party. The country despises him. He’s over his head! He has a name only. He’s a girly boy Drama teacher, trust fund baby that reads a script whenever he’s on camera! He’s an embarrassment! TrudeaMustgo That doesn’t change the fact that Trudeau and his Cronies committed Obstruction of Justice a month ago does it? No,so why is the media pushing a narrative to say they were having a “personal” issue when there was no issue at all?Let the PM and his Cronies do the smearing please..

Wilson-Raybould submits documents to Justice CtteThe former AG has submitted documents that essentially rebut testimony made by Gerald Butts and Michael Wernick. CTV's Michel Boyer reports. Oh paleeese just sit down and shut up, or go join your PC Scheer cronies. We are tired of your bs. You are acting out of spite because you lost the AG job. Get over it or get out! resignjwr cdnpoli She handed them in. Now they will translate & redact. Friday before they get posted. They need a few days to get their stories (cover-up) in order. Pretty sure if there is damaging evidence the liberal majority on the Justice Committee will vote not to make this evidence made public. If that is the case, then Canadians will know that Justin is indeed guilty of Corruption. It is pretty simple to deduce that.
