Here are a few opening remarks by Spector: A proper post will follow
Can you imagine a newspaper like the National Post killing a story like this?
Fred Doucet extraordinary access to Mulroney
Imagine if this committee hearing was held in 2001 when Frank Moores was still alive?
Documents a "more prosaic" source of cash. Explains why Mulroney was willing to cater to the rich and powerful - obsessed with how he would get by after leaving office.
I have grave doubts that Mr. Harper wants "airbus answers" in contrast to Mr. Martin's response to the sponsorship scandal?
Harvey Andre?
RCMP botched Airbus investigation.
Story suppressed by remarkably large segment of the media.
Subpoena bank and tax records.
Start pressing government to offer Schreiber a deal to spill the beans.
What do those elements in bold mean? Did Specter say that the RCMP botched the Airbus investigation?
ReplyDeleteI cannot get CPAC to work so I am dying to know if anything serious is happening... :/
According to the article on ctv.ca
ReplyDelete"When asked directly if he had any evidence of wrongdoing by any government official, Spector said flatly that he did not. "
Oooh, what a bombshell!
Absolutely nothing, except speculation and opinion. He actually explained away the cash in the fridge, Mulroney will sleep well tonite.
ReplyDeleteSpector made a fool of himself and the committee, as he billed his performance as 'explosive'.
I don't like Mulroney, so I was believing the worst. But after seeing this kind of crap, I'm starting to think there's something to the Lib/media witch hunt claims.
Next on the agenda, Mulroneys chef, if that isn't pathetic.
WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE?
There is none.
Yes, Spector believes the RCMP absolutely botched the Airbus investigation. As for the rest it's surely interesting how people are handling it. It seems that Cons find it exonerating while everyone on the other side find it excoriating. I think Spector failed to deliver what he'd promised but, speaking as a private citizen, I also think he made a solid case for proceeding with the hearings and getting documents and testimony to clear this up.Now I don't expect anything balanced from Wilson so I'll leave his remarks as they stand.
ReplyDeleteSpector offered less than nothing relating to the mandate of the committee. Actually he came off like an obsessively disgruntled employee. Stalker alert for Muldoon perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI have to say, Grump, I was left wondering what Spector was attempting. He didn't seem to be able to offer anything concrete and did sound a tinge "animated." It was hardly the performance he'd indicated he would deliver in his recent column. That said, he obviously had the Muldoon camp rattled. I'd have thought they would have been far better off to just ignore Spector but he plainly had them panicked.

Pipe down, you ridiculous troll.
The only reason no one else entertains counter-arguments is that the only people who put them forward are frauds like Wilson.
