By Amanda Coletta February 27 at 10:25 PM TORONTO — Canada’s former attorney general and justice minister on Wednesday accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office and other public servants of applying “consistent and sustained” political pressure to halt the criminal fraud and bribery prosecution of a Quebec-based construction and engineering giant.
Trudeau said in a press conference in Quebec on Wednesday that he “completely disagrees” with Wilson-Raybould’s characterization of events, though he conceded that he has not reviewed her entire testimony. Trudeau initially dismissed the allegations as “false” but has since said that while he did discuss the SNC-Lavalin prosecution with Wilson-Raybould, the decision on the prosecution of the company was “hers alone” to make. He added that if she at any time felt she was being improperly pressured, she should have raised it with him directly.
In one such conversation with Trudeau, Wilson-Raybould said, he told her to “find a solution” to the case because there were jobs at stake and he represents a federal riding in Quebec.
In the U.S. we just accept this as politics
Look up Hubris...has JustinTrudeau written all over it! Worst PM, our Obama 🤢
Nothing compared to what going on here in WA State where AWCities and Judges are fixing cases insuring Agencies WAStateBar WASupremeCt justices prosecutors judges and public defenders FTC sounds like Sherman Anti Trust ?
How quaint.
It’s almost like the liberal celebrity politicians are actually just shitty people that say what they need to say to get elected... who would have thought they didn’t have integrity 🤷🏻♂️ Hypocrites
😳
Canadian..
Oh! Canada
Incompetent and opportunist Puglaas
😱 still not as horrible as POTUS
'Attempted to Pressure' Degree of 'Inappropriateness' is apparently in the Eye of the beholder. But to that Point that's the extent of this VeryCanadianScandal
Corruption, crime and scandal go hand in hand with the left. Just normal business with them.
Very disappointed and disgusting to ear about Justin Trudeau corruption.
It's actually a constitutional crisis on par with the Mueller investigation. Obstruction of justice based upon political inter fence. A months long campaign led by the Preemie Minster based upon an upcoming election
opps. opps. perfect 'lil man
