My guess...

Much better to wait and hear what he has to say. I remember a couple of weeks back when JWR was scheduled to testify,someone in here (too many messages for me to find out who) said that she will cozy up to Trudeau and cover it up. Too much speculation going on, lets see what actually happens.

Meh...  he will likely support Trudeau, his boss and buddy, despite what they did.   I think Philpott resigning says a lot more about what happened than anything a PMO guy in short pants has to say...   I never liked Harper's yes-men in the PMO who could overrule elected officials....   I'm not a fan of Trudeau's who seem to be doing the same thing.

How could it?  Meetings aren't recorded. 

It seems to me that the PMO put political pressure to influence the outcome of criminal proceedings...   either you are OK with that for whatever reason, or you're not.  Personally, I don't think that's right.  I think it's something that would happen in a banana republic. 

Others hang their hat on the fact that it's OK because it was saving jobs...  or they are clinging to semantics about what is "pressure" and what isn't to support the gov't.

Now we have another Minister in the gov't resign over the matter...  and you want to hear from Butts?  That's kind of odd to me considering he's a political appointee who will likely support his boss come hell or high water...   Phillpot didn't need to wait to hear what Butts had to say...

I'll wait until I hear what he has to say and then jump to conclusions which seems to be the standard approach on this issue.

Not good for Trudeau.  3 resignations now if you include Butts.

Butts didn't resign in any sort of protest or disagreement with the PM's handling of SNC-L.

Yes but a trusted confidant bit the dust over a scandal.

You mean remain in denial.

Here let me help with the definition:

"denial: believing or imagining that some painful or traumatic circumstance, event or memory does not exist or did not happen.

denial (in psychology): failure to acknowledge an unacceptable truth or emotion or to admit into consciousness, used as a defense mechanism."1

Here let me make you feel understood with some quotes:

"Modern idols or false gods can take such forms as clothes, homes, businesses, machines, automobiles, pleasure boats, and numerous other material deflectors."

Spencer W. Kimball

"Or in the case of Justin Trudeau a large vibrator."

Rue

"The worship of false gods is always an outgrowth of spiritual deception."
Max Anders

"Or in the case  of Justin Trudeau forgetting to turn the vibrator off before stepping into the shower."

Rue

"The historian's first duties are sacrilege and the mocking of false gods. They are his indispensable instruments for establishing the truth."

Jules Michelet

"We need to advise Liberals who voted for Trudeau that Peter Pan was played by a female for years."

Rue

"The happy man is he who knows his limitations, yet bows to no false gods."

Robert W. Service

" Justin Trudeau makes me happy."

Rue

"Objective is the wrong word. Rather, it's fairness. Objectivity is a false God. Instead we should strive for fairness and transparency."

Ken Auletta

"Trudeau as a concept is not fair but very transparent."

Rue

"We need to mock false gods publicly."

Robert Barron

" Trudeau reminds me of Bruce Chris Jenner...no matter how pretty s/he tries to be, s/he's just damn ugly."

Rue
