Trudeau blocks RCMP from investigating his obstruction of justice

Damn

These guys make Donald Trump look like a rank amateur.

“The RCMP has been looking into potential obstruction of justice in the handling of the prosecution of SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., but its examination has been stymied by the federal government’s refusal to lift cabinet confidentiality for all witnesses, The Globe and Mail has learned.

This means individuals involved in the matter cannot discuss events or share documents with police that have not been exempted from the rule of cabinet confidentiality, according to sources, who The Globe agreed not to identify so they could discuss the RCMP inquiries.

In Canada, the principle of cabinet confidentiality is intended to allow ministers to debate decisions freely in private. As a result, discussions involving cabinet matters must be kept secret unless a waiver is granted. In the SNC matter, the Liberals say that the Clerk of the Privy Council, who heads the bureaucratic agency that serves the Prime Minister’s Office, made the decision not to offer a broad waiver to either the RCMP or to the Ethics Commissioner, and that the PMO played no role.

A source who was recently interviewed by the RCMP told The Globe that investigators indicated they are looking into possible obstruction of justice. The Criminal Code says obstruction of justice occurs when an effort is made to “obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice in a judicial proceeding.”

The national police force will pause the operation because of the coming election campaign. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scheduled to go to Rideau Hall Wednesday to ask the Governor-General to dissolve Parliament and call the vote for Oct. 21, and the RCMP has a policy to suspend politically sensitive operations during campaigns.

Justice Department spokesman Ian McLeod said the decision not to offer a broader waiver for the RCMP “was made solely by the Clerk of the Privy Council as guardian of cabinet confidences.” Mr. Trudeau’s director of communications, Cameron Ahmad, said the PMO was not involved in the decision.

Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion faced the same obstacle as the RCMP in his investigation into the SNC-Lavalin affair earlier this year, stating in his final reportthat nine witnesses were unable to provide full testimony because government allowed only a limited waiver on cabinet secrecy.

Mr. Dion found that Mr. Trudeau breached the Conflict of Interest Act. His report said the Prime Minister and senior federal officials improperly pressed Jody Wilson-Raybould when she was justice minister and attorney-general to order the director of public prosecutions to settle bribery and fraud charges against SNC-Lavalin without a trial.

The Department of Justice confirmed Tuesday that the RCMP received “the same access to cabinet confidences and privileged information” as the Ethics Commissioner and the justice committee of the House.”

Who does he think he is? Eric Holder??

He's the most arrogant PM we have ever had. Recently, after the ethics committee found him guilty, he stated he needed to change to be more open, in touch with Canadian's and that he recognizes where he went wrong and planned to change going forward.

As you can tell by this latest article, none of it means shit because Trudope is full of it.

The 'shocking' part in all of this is it is/was Michael Wernick's successor that in essence blocked a full investigation. So, after the former head of the non-partisan civil service was found to be running point for the Liberals in a purely political matter, we now find out his replacement is doing the exact same thing to benefit the Liberals.

I mean this level of corruption runs so deep with the LPC. It's actually quit sickening.

So whatever they’re hiding is likely worse than making themselves look guilty

It will be expensive but a minority Liberal Government will force Trudope to resign. They have a lot of talent to draw from and they'll smoke that fucktard scheer in the next election.  

Have any names of that supposed talent? Personally, the 2 brightest in Trudope's party, imo, were the one he fired and the other one that resigned. From there, I see zero talent/smarts but maybe you think Climate Barbie is that talent and would be a great choice to take on Scheer? :dunno:

Sure you thought they were great. But if they were running, you'd find something about them to hate.  

Marc Garneau would make a great leader.  Have you seen his qualifications?  He'd stomp your hero Scheer into moon dust.

What qualifications do you need to be the PM?

Obviously none by the look of the last two. 

Drama teacher and Speech writer for Bush.

I was aiming higher.  Is there something about Garneau's that you find lacking?

The best PM will come from the middle class.

Or water.

Don't even get me started on that horseshit.

 

It's weird that our clean water and proper sanitation is paid for through property tax and user fees. 

Natives don't seem to understand that.

Not at all. Jodi showed me integrity, honor and some overall smarts/competence that Trudope and the rest completely lack. Mckenna, Freeland, Morneau, Blair, Chaggar, Goodale, O'Regan, Sajjan, Sohi, to name a bunch are nothing but a bunch of imbeciles!

Maybe Garneau is an exception, I don't know, but I think a lot of people underestimate Scheer and what he is capable of?

What makes him great other than comparing him to the current PM?:lol:

No the chiefs dont understand that money that is ear marked for it should be used to buy 60 inch tv's or expensive vacations for council.  there is no reason that every community doesnt have clean water.
