I wonder how that works. Does it start with a call from the PMO to the RCMP and then a call to the crown, then to Wrights lawyer and then to whomever else who is crucial in the case? Not charging Wright with bribery, but charging Duffy with receiving a bribe is a dead give away to me. Your question about why Wright didn't just give the $90k cheque to Duffy and leave it at that says it all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842215982128591742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-51422766005114381072015-08-12T20:07:48.076-07:002015-08-12T20:07:48.076-07:00Harper is looking too smug .

He is just really good at keeping out of sight - takes a Duffy-gate to even slightly expose him.Northern PoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670080478290108536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-69865421652608451542015-08-12T13:58:10.959-07:002015-08-12T13:58:10.959-07:00Yes, Kirby, it smells to high heaven but that does...Yes, Kirby, it smells to high heaven but that doesn't mean they won't get away with it. My sense is that the whole investigation and prosecution is a set up to let everybody off the hook.<br /><br />Owen is right, the judge can certainly connect the dots but that really doesn't matter. The judge can't charge Wright or Harper or anyone else. He has no power to do that. About all he can do is acquit Duffy of the major charges that have been brought against him.<br /><br />At this stage an acquittal would very much suit Harper. He can say that he pursued the wrongdoing and it's not his fault that the court took Duffy off the hook. Steve is worried about his own exposure, not Duffy's guilt or innocence.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-48604740575266458502015-08-12T13:52:47.269-07:002015-08-12T13:52:47.269-07:00Surely, the judge can connect the dots.Surely, the judge can connect the dots.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-15539794975538090912015-08-12T13:35:45.968-07:002015-08-12T13:35:45.968-07:00A government transaction doesn't get much more...A government transaction doesn't get much more rotten. If Duffy took a bribe, then Wright gave him a bribe. And as your headline speculates, if Harper was not involved then wright would have just given him the check and there would be no paper trail and no talk of the PM in the Emails. It smells bad and no one is buying it. Kirbycairohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528654183160305877noreply@blogger.com
