Wilson-Raybould makes case to stay in caucus as Butts releases texts

Jody Wilson-Raybould says she understands why many Liberals are “angry, hurt and frustrated” with her, but the former attorney-general argues she is upholding the party’s election promise to “end the practice of governing in the shadows.”

The Liberal caucus meets Wednesday to decide the fate of Ms. Wilson-Raybould and fellow MP Jane Philpott, who resigned as Treasury Board President last month, citing a lack of confidence in how Mr. Trudeau handled the SNC-Lavalin matter.Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s testimony about high-level political interference in the justice system has jolted the Liberal party and polls show it could jeopardize the Trudeau government’s reelection.

Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s letter came on the same day that Mr. Trudeau’s former principal secretary, Gerald Butts, released text messages to the House justice committee. Those messages show how she tried to resist the Prime Ministers decision to shuffle her out of the Justice and Attorney-General portfolio in early January.

globepolitics Amazing in the US, a politician can vote or support whatever they want without fear that they will be kicked out of a party. Canada is very primitive when compared to the US. “Allowing a free vote” stinks of control and corruption. Both cons and libs are guilty of this...

globepolitics Wish I xoukd read what the texts said. Too small.

globepolitics If the Liberals think kicking JDW and Jane P. out of caucus will get them more votes - they are really out of touch with the electorate. It will only lose them more!

globepolitics I’m a backstabber & lawyer who broke my law society’s ethics/other rules but I’m really a team player. I should be allowed to stay in caucus so I can make a mockery of all lawyers and law societies across Canada. Where is LawSocietyofBC LawSocietyLSO Multiple breaches!

globepolitics If she was half as honourable as she is being portrayed she would leave caucus.

globepolitics Butts is not working for the government. Why does he still have access to the texts or the J committee? He is not an employee.

globepolitics 🤮🤮🤮

globepolitics Will Butts “Butt” her out? Stay tuned on the next episode of Canadian Ball Z!

globepolitics I might be hard for Trudeau to sit in cabinet meetings with her knife still in his back.

Butts hands over texts, notes to Justice Committee in wake of Wilson-Raybould’s evidenceGerald Butts, Prime Minster Justin Trudeau’s former principal secretary, has handed over texts and notes to the House of Commons Justice Committee days after new evidence submitted by former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould was made public. Is anyone going to care what this creep has to say or show? I don't know. How does he still have access to his phone text messages from a Federal Gov phone if he is no longer employed ? Took him long enough & how do we know he hasn't altered them ? Why didn't he present them at time he was testifying ? I smell a rotten egg here.
