'I own it': Vance says decision to suspend Mark Norman was his, not PM's cdnpoli

Vance made the comments Friday, after telling reporters on Parliament Hill that, while he regrets what happened to Norman, he would not answer any questions about the case at this time."The prime minister did not pressure me to suspend him, ok? My decision, my decision alone because of the code of service discipline in the Queen's regulations and orders. Not the prime minister, not the minister, me. I own it.

The comments came the same day the Globe and Mail is reporting that PM Trudeau is responsible for triggering the RCMP investigation into Vice Admiral Norman. According to the report, Trudeau was allegedly furious at the leak of classified information regarding a multi-million dollar naval ship contract.

Vice-Admiral Norman was charged with breach of trust last year, for allegedly leaking secrets from former Prime Minister Stephen Harper's cabinet.

Conrad Black: On Mark Norman case, heads should roll … and not the junior onesThe spurious indictment of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman is a disgrace, embarrassment and offence to all Canadians I agree I have one as well though Conrad! Conrad Black is still alive? Well I never. Trudeau and Werenick should be first first they choose to provide just Norman’s name among 73 others to the RCMP and then refused to provide requested documentation to the defence until it was entirely redacted....!!!!

Only 2 defenses wld lead DPP to stay charges. 'Stay' means he did it so either he was insane or he was under orders. Jason Kenney was his Minister when most of this happened. Get it? Yes by shutting down the trial BEFORE testimony from an ex Liberal MP, (Obstruction of Justice), after wrongly starting it, Trudeau and Werenick left no doubt about political interference and obstruction of justice when they turned over a 60 page totally REDACTED document...

RCMP defends 'thorough, independent' investigation into Vice-Admiral Mark NormanThe RCMP is defending its investigation of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman after the case against the military's former second-in-command collapsed this week. If it was thorough, why did they focus on admiralnorman? Why didn't they interview the many Harper staff and CPC Cabinet members who were leaking information? Why didn't Kenny and McKay come forward rather than waiting to be asked? Leaking has now become the norm cdnpoli
