Raybould has 2 sacred cow cards to play. She's a woman and Native...so hands off.

But we've only heard one side of the story so far. Everyone on this forum is leaping to conclusions. I've never been a fan of our dreamboat PM, but at least I'll wait to hear his side of the story before piling on.

the story is pretty straight forward.

the prime minster wanted to see a dpa in place and his AG refused to do so for whatever reason.

trudeau was imply doing what every white natty has demanded he do in regards to the pipeline.

What kind of 'story' do you expect to hear from a chronic and compulsive liar?

Deferred Prosecution Agreement...basically a slap on the wrist as opposed to a harsher penalty resulting in a loss of job contracts and further monetary fines.

Read closely. If you come across a big word ask for help:

Obstructing justice




While I gave you thumbs up, I dont think changing course from a legal prosecution to a now legal DPA
would qualify as obstruction.


And certainly not a strong enough case to hang Dopey on, especially since both courses of action would have been legal.

She could not deliver the dpa that the Prime minster wanted.
All she had to do was say sorry, cant do that, and step aside and let someone else do it.
Not how she decided to handle it.
So basically you expected the AG/Minister of Justice to casually ignore the law because...Trudeau?
Man, it's amazing how quickly you're willing to throw your principles under the bus in the name of Groper.

So let me see if I have this correct. A Conservative govt handing a bailout to the auto industry to try and save jobs is beyond the pale to you. But a provincial Liberal govt giving bailouts to the same sector while the federal Liberals forgive $6.7 billion in loans to GM and Chrysler is cool. All while the federal Liberals are scrambling like f*cking chickens with a fox about because they tried to break their own law that they snuck in via a 556 page omnibus budget bill. And what do you do? Whine about the one person in the Liberals who apparently actually f*cking understands the rule of law. That about sum up your sub-moronic partisan position?

It doesn't. Attempting to influence the AG AFTER she made her decision and then demoting her could well be interpreted as obstruction.

According to Hoid, all she had to do was say, "Sorry no DPA."


I believe she said that about 8 times along with, "stop bugging us, we aren't going to intervene" and "this is political interference."

Perhaps you should take 30 seconds to learn a little bit about this story before you natter on endlessly about something you’re clueless about
It would be entirely out of character for any of them to actually go into an argument with knowledge of the facts.

Here's what I said_ if she could not do what the prime minister wanted done then it would be normal for her to tell him - I can't do that , and step down from the position so that the Prime Minister could appoint someone who could do it.

Instead she decided to go with a different plan, whereby she damaged the government she was working for and made dam sure that every employee of SNC would suffer the damage for the transgression of the few.

All based on her opinion,.

Her line should have been, 'That fukking DPA, how much more can we get using that and save paying the Lawyers about $200M for a $60M return?'
The Company will never get another international contract, that was determined before the Swiss the the RCMO 'the tip'. Blame the Government rather than the IMF and the World Bank, why does that sound so familiar?

And just out of general interest, knowledge of the FACTS has absolutely nothing to do with not being able to decipher 47 thousand abbreviations not in common every day use! :) :) A lot of people who know all that shit have very little knowledge of anything useful! :)

The party shill who said the Liberals were wrong about the pipeline and that the pipeline would not be okayed?

Your need for daily group hugs is hilarious
