Certainly reads like that to me. I believe I did mention that I found the way Harper treated Duffy and the way Duffy acted like he enjoyed special immunity/protection to be a matter of some concern for the possibility that Duffy knew/had evidence of something that would be very damaging to Harper, and that it could have reached back to his days as a journalist especially since he had been the national political news editor for CTV. Whether Duffy got if before or after he became a Senator who knows but I agree with your supposition that Duffy must have something that Harper fears, this whole chain of events and the extremes gone to for Duffy make no sense otherwise, which was why I had raised that possibility the other day. The only explanation for this is that it was Harper being protected, and for these people to go this far in this matter whatever Duffy has must be incredibly dangerous for Harper, other CPC Senators who are also an image problem as Harper appointees aren't getting this kind of consideration, what makes Duffy so different? That really is the question isn't it?Scotianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284856315992405261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-57003152626949365102013-05-21T14:13:03.219-07:002013-05-21T14:13:03.219-07:00Yeah but I can't remember where now.

It suggests Baird, who obviously must know of the existence of the letter, is trying to build traction for Harper's claim that this was all done behind his back.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-61293925835453783082013-05-21T11:33:52.722-07:002013-05-21T11:33:52.722-07:00John Baird is on point in the HOC today and if you...<br /><br />John Baird is on point in the HOC today and if you haven't heard, says they are not aware of any written agreement between Wright and Duffy.<br /><br />Baird is uncharacteristically calm and polite too.

Until he is willing to engage the fourth estate I have no intention of paying him the slightest attention. His morning passion play of righteous indignation is not fooling anyone except perhaps the most gullible among his base.
