OTTAWA — Jody Wilson-Raybould approvingly points to Brian Mulroney as a prime minister who knew better than to politically interfere with the judgment of his attorney general when it comes to criminal prosecutions.
Mulroney’s memoirs flatly contradict the version of events cited by Campbell in her own memoirs and repeated by Wilson-Raybould in a written submission last week to the House of Commons justice committee. The submission was intended to bolster her contention that she faced inappropriate pressure last fall from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his top aides and others to stop the criminal prosecution of Montreal engineering giant SNC-Lavalin.
“She further reflected — as she did in her memoirs — that Brian Mulroney ‘was much too good a lawyer to intervene improperly in the matter. He never breathed a word about the Milgaard case to his AG, nor did anyone in his office ever attempt to influence her handling of the case.”‘ Nor did Wilson-Raybould mention, or appear aware of the fact, that Mulroney completely contradicted Campbell’s version of events in his own memoirs, published in 2007.
When he got back, Mulroney wrote, he had Campbell summoned to his parliamentary office where, “because of the sensitivity of the matter, I met with her alone.”“‘Kim,’ I answered, ‘that is not acceptable to me. The law provides for a reference to the Supreme Court and it is my intention to ensure that this case is in fact referred to the Supreme Court.

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.

Mulroney memoirs contradict Jody Wilson-Raybould testimony, Kim Campbell on politics and attorney-generalThe former Progressive Conservative leader proudly recounts in his book how he ordered Campbell, then his attorney general, to refer a controversial murder case to the Supreme Court of Canada. globepolitics Looks like the NATIONAL media is coming to Trudeau's defence.
