Those I knew in Duffy's legal team really believed he'd be acquitted of all charges, something I found a bit odd. Turns out they were right and everyone else had it wrong.<br /><br />That said I doubt those lawsuits will go anywhere now (some of the pleadings have even been prepared) because Duffy's health won't permit it.<br /><br />As for Garossino, she restores my faith in Canadian journalism and renews my hope for the restoration of a free press in Canada. For that to happen Justin would have to dismantle the corporate media cartel and I have no confidence in the Dauphin being that audacious.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-8894695752412569322016-05-07T09:49:55.664-07:002016-05-07T09:49:55.664-07:00An excellent article.

With Duffy not only exonerated in court and now back in the Senate, Tkachuk still believes his lies in his written op-ed will be believed over what Duffy stated in court about Tkachuk. Evidence of course does not lie. Garossino simply showed the documents that provided evidence in court. This evidence revealed that Tkachuk in his written op-ed was still lying. I'm sure he felt secure in the fact that the MSM would not investigate.Garossino really shows the role journalists should be playing in exposing the lies given by public figures.Tkachuk, along with his Con. thug allies don't get it. Evidence at the Duffy trial revealed the truth and in so doing exposed Tkachuk and others as liars, yet he still thinks he he can lie and get away with it.This is a persons reputation that Tkachuk is continuing to trash. Duffy should sue.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842215982128591742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-57607091008895186222016-05-07T07:31:41.983-07:002016-05-07T07:31:41.983-07:00Hey, Sal.

They fill a huge gap left by the corporate media cartel.<br /><br />What Garossino dishes up is what used to be recognized as "hard news." This was raw information and analysis without the messaging and spin of the major papers. She took what Tkachuk said, found out how it compared to the documents and evidence brought out in court in the Duffy trial and used it to expose a puff piece of blatant, self-serving lying.<br /><br />What does that tell us about the once respected Ottawa Citizen that they would let Tkachuk scrape his barnyard boots on their paper? What Garossino did would have been what any number of young 'keener' journos at the Citizen might have done 30 to 40 years ago. I've heard nothing back from the paper nor am I expecting a response.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-3845081756660941612016-05-07T03:56:07.507-07:002016-05-07T03:56:07.507-07:00.. Garossino really ripped that hysterical Harper ..... Garossino really ripped that hysterical Harper thug a new one.. How apropos - just thinking of the sniggering going on behind Senator Tkachuck's back.. all over 'insider' Ottawa - Government - Senate etc etc.. The idiot poops out an Op-Ed that's fabricated of wet toilet paper strength & never mind any documented court testimony of his startling jaded 'memories'.. Good Gawd what's next from him? Rebuttal? Resignation? Or will it be the now standard ' i never read those emails' - 'it was a clerical error' - 'I have no knowledge of these things' .. or some vague Paramountcy Pronouncement about the fulsomness of time..the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
