Battle of the Initials
If we put aside the unnecessarily quiet and pretzel gymnastics process to get a Remediation Agreement for SNC Lavalin we can pretty much figure out the mess.
JWR would not overturn the DPP position that SNC would not be invited to achieve a Remediation Agreement?
SNC had a fit?
PMO and JPT sort of expressed their desire to see SNC get an invitation to the RA party.?
JWR did not agree but JPT told her it was her call?
Cabinet shuffle required to get desired result for SNC?
Obvious choice Scott Brison perhaps for more than one reason - gets offered plum position with BMO?
After-all BMO would also be very interested in seeing a favourable deal for SNC?
BMO executive who is also SNC executive makes that happen?
GMB probably facilitated and assisted with strategy on above?
JPT has shuffle to deal with Brison departure and removes JWR from post?
JWR gets enraged at the realization that is was her decision on SNC but not her call on who gets to serve in what capacity in the Cabinet of JPT. (this is real evident in body language at second swearing in)
JPT chooses SNC RA friendly new Justice Minister?
JWR and GMB feel all under control until the Globe and Mail story?
After quick strategy review - standard speaking note was achieved and PMO JPT and GMB confident in solicitor-client privilege will keep JWR quiet?
JWR hears JPT speak for her (I spoke to her 2 times and everything ok) further inflamed by Liberals saying things like "Jody-Centric" "difficult" etc.
JWR quits Cabinet retains counsel.
GMB and JPT and PMO have new crisis.
Throughout the communications strategy has been horrible.
So JWR wants GMB gone - wants new Cabinet post - wants to be publicly justified?
GMB takes hit - Liberals make-up - nothing to see here returns?
New speaking notes for JPT. He reads out legislative authority of DPP (perhaps he should have done that when the Budget contained the change to the Criminal Code for SNC)?
Controlled committee? Ethics violations have not hurt JPT yet - so probably won't now?
Will Canadians ever learn the truth? Unlikely
What happens with SNC now?
How is it SNC Executive has case thrown out? Who dropped the ball there?
Will the parliament repeal the RA DPA and do the process more openly and properly?
Transparency? no
Truth? no
Punish Corruption? no
somebody leaked something to Globe and Mail right? Who's benefit was that for?
Meanwhile Vice-Admiral Mark Norman charged with breach of trust?Who's benefit was that for?
Speaking truth to power? We'll see if the electorate does that this year.
