The Duffster has a treasure trove of bad news for all. He was known for that.
With an election coming up, you can be assured the defence will call the PM to testify- If he refuses, as per when the law pemits him to, he is toast.
If he testifies, more information will come out.
More that what we have seen in the Commons or in the Senate sham trial.
http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/201 ... an-emerge/In April, after the RCMP declined to lay charges against Nigel Wright in the matter of the $90,000 payment to Sen. Mike Duffy, the air was thick with instant analysis.
If there were a cover-up in the works, charging Mr. Duffy, who has not been shy about expressing his sense of being ill-used in the affair and has hinted on several occasions that he knows more than he has let on, would seem just about the worst way to go about it. And while Mr. Duffy has only been charged, not convicted — he insists he was an unwilling participant in this “monstrous scheme” — it would seem equally difficult after this to pretend there’s no story here.
And of course there is the question that obsesses the political class: what involvement or knowledge did the prime minister have, particularly with regard to the $90,000? In a sense, it does not matter: that so many people close to him were so ready to act in such an unethical fashion is damning enough in itself. But in a sense it is all that matters: partly because the prime minister has been so vehement in his denials of any foreknowledge, and partly because the set of circumstances required for this to be true seem so implausible.
Among other things, it requires us to believe not only that Mr. Wright and everyone else around the prime minister lied to him for months on end about how Mr. Duffy’s expenses were repaid, but that Mr. Wright lied to the others: that having told him at a meeting in February of 2013 that Mr. Duffy would repay his own expenses, he then told his fellow conspirators the prime minister was “good to go” with an earlier plan for the party to pay them; and that when Mr. Wright later told the prime minister’s former communications director, Andrew MacDougall, that “the PM knows, in broad terms only, that I personally assisted Duffy” he was lying then, too.
What’s the true story? All in good time. I think we can be sure of one thing: if and when Mr. Wright testifies under oath, he will not be lying then.
