Looks like Pamela Wallin has ripped off $300,000

[JLM]

You didn't cover anything. The more you post, and the more you back pedal, the more you look like the very politicians you claim to abhor.




actually, it stated that the cbc has learned that Wallin could be ordered to repay $100,000 plus.

Pamela Wallin's Senate expense repayments could top $100K - Politics - CBC News

$300,000 falls into the category of $100,000 plus!

:roll:

Nothin like keeping it honest, eh jlm?

Here's a question for real:

Do you think they have any idea just how angry we have become over this... I am left, my guy is right and we are both livid... do they get that?

Doubt it. Or maybe they do and are working on ways to divide and conquer. That usually works unfortunately. Shift the blame to the other guy.

Well, F.Y.I. on the noon news on Global T.V. a figure of $320,000 was mentioned, so it's not like I'm making it up!

Actually it doesn't matter if it's one dollar or a million, it's all stealing!

IF, Global stated that she had stolen 320,000 like you have said about 300,000 then Global is as guilty as you.

Actually it doesn't matter if it's one dollar or a million, it's all stealing!

Actually, it does matter if someone steals a dollar or if they steal a million. Different charges are laid.

lol Not only should these sewer scum repay but for those who actually screw up while they're in office. they should cover the costs of the mess they cause. It'd be nice to get the $2 billion back for the freakin mess called the "Long Gun Registry" from the sewer scum who implemented it, for instance; with interest. Accountability? From bureaucrats and politicians? HAH!

Yes, not going to happen in my life time.

Doesn't mean anything to them. Unless you are a Jimmy Pattison, David Thompson, Galen Weston, Lino Saputo, etc., your opinion means diddly.

It's upsetting; they work for us, we pay them and they steal from us with no compunction and we have no recourse. Maybe this time it will be different. I still hold out a little bit of hope...just a ray.

The news is pretty careful about using words like "stolen", more like $320,000 being the amount investigated.

You're right, there is a difference in the criminal code, it's the moral code I go by.-

It galls me that there is no fear of reprimand.

 

[gerryh]

The news is pretty careful about using words like "stolen", more like $320,000 being the amount investigated.

and there is a big difference between accusing someone of stealing, like you did, and saying that there is an investigation.

You're right, there is a difference in the criminal code

I know there is, nice of you to admit it.

Here's a question for real:

The real burning question is..........................If they did do you think they care?

I never accused anyone of anything, I was just passing on the news. If you don't think repaying $38,000 means anything then you are naïve.

Ya you did, reread the title of the OP that YOU chose.

If they did, oh they did it that's not the question. The funds have been spent, the question is to what extent...in other words if it is outside of the law and if so how many and what can be proven.

 

[Tonington]

Just because over $300,000 was spent doesn't mean it was all fraud.

The audit findings:

The audit showed Wallin claimed between $121,000 and $142,000 in improper expenses, and found that she had claimed travel expenses related to private business matters, personal matters and partisan fundraising activities.

 

[Goober]

Just because over $300,000 was spent doesn't mean it was all fraud.

The audit findings:

Make those mistakes working for a company and you would be gonzo. Add on the 38 K she has paid back.

 

[JLM]

The audit findings:

So you figure $300,000 covers the fraud? I sure as hell wouldn't want to under estimate it.

 

[Goober]

The amount they found should be enough for the Senate to vote her off the Island. Otherwise she is there till 2028.

and no pension, they should lose their pensions if caught doing anything illegal...oh wait, then none of them could operate

but I'm not bitter

I believe they need to hand it off to the RCMP and crown and that she be found guilty of some indictable offense. If it is kept within the Senate with her only having to repay, then I don't believe she can be removed.

 

[petros]

Sell all of these off on eBay.
