@JustinTrudeau did not direct the Attorney General to intervene in the #SNCLavalin case, so therefore he respected the independence of the AG which was confirmed by JWR @Puglaas in her testimony.

The #CPC passed the Director of public Prosecutions act in 2006, clearly the AG retains political discretion to override decision's by the director (DPP) on whether to prosecute.

When the Attorney General decides whether to initiate and conduct a prosecution on behalf of the federal Crown, Crown counsel must consider two issues:

keep reading #wernick's statement and it gets more disturbing with each go. start with his context. "a lot has been said and written in the last few weeks." that is what he's responding to, testifying about, the SNC-Lavalin affair. That is why he is worried about "my country" 1/x
He goes immediately from that to "foreign interference" in our politics in an election year. There is a plain suggestion that a lot of what has been said and written in the last few weeks is foreign interference. Why else does one follow the other? 2/x
He then goes to "the rising tide" of incitements to violence, shouts of treason & traitor. Someone's gonna get shot, he says. All this in the last few weeks. This is the only response he hears to SNC-Lavalin. No legit concerns. Just wild-ass yahoos screaming treason 3/x
