DC: OTTAWA — Former Canadian Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould told the House of Commons justice committee Wednesday that she was told to interfere in the prosecution of Quebec contractor, SNC-Lavalin. The Official Opposition says Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has no option but to resign.
The political interference from the Prime Minister’s Office was apparently all about getting corruption charges against the company deferred in order to shore up Liberal Party support in the province of Quebec.
“For a period of approximately four months between September and December 2018, I experienced a consistent and sustained effort by many people within the government to seek to politically interfere in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion in my role as the attorney general of Canada in an inappropriate effort to secure a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with SNC-Lavalin,” Wilson-Raybould told the committee.
Trudeau also participated in this “sustained effort,” according to Wilson-Raybould, and at one point he directly implied that Wilson-Raybould should consider the party’s political fortunes in Quebec. She described the incident when “the prime minister jumped in stressing that there is an election in Quebec and that ‘I am an MP in Quebec – the member for Papineau.’”
The former attorney general and justice minister says she was “taken aback” by the comment and posed “a direct question while looking him in the eye.”
“I asked: ‘Are you politically interfering with my role, my decision as the attorney general? I would strongly advise against it.’”
Trudeau’s response appeared to be both a denial and an affirmation: “The prime minister said, ‘No, no, no – we just need to find a solution.’” read more
Trudeau is nothing but a Obama light. (Pun intended)
I wonder if he cries in his car before he goes home.
Oh I’d love to watch his down fall. I can’t stand that socialist communist. Plenty of Canadians hate him. When he was born I’m pretty sure his mother shot him out so fast that he landed head first into a wall. It stunted the growth of his brain and eye brows. LMAO!

I hope her testimony shames and convicts Wray, Barr, and anyone else in our Justice dept. who is working for the deep state and partisan politics.
Our family always said that he inherited his mother’s brains as well as her looks. This was not a compliment.
Does Canada have an AOC? Because they’ll only replace him with someone further left (on both the political and intelligence scales). And America can’t spare ours.
Liberal idiots turn out to be the most corrupt. What does Gidget Cortez do first thing she gains public office? But her boyfriend on the dole. (Maybe she thinks she’s in ‘pubic’ office.)
For more pathetic libtard comedy, Prince Harry’s thot wife is insisting they raise their new kid gender fluid.
Poor Harry. Poor England.
Isn’t there a picture out there of his proud mother showing the world his head crowning? “Let me introduce you to little Fidel”
Or maybe that was her showing her fly trap.
@MJA; If he wasn’t before he sure as hell is now.
