Butts: We didn’t move #JodyWilsonRaybould from Attorney General because of her principled stance on #SNCLavalin, but because of her principled stance against administering the Indian Act which she spent her life fighting. This testimony just left me supporting #JWR more. #cdnpoli
Butts: “This is not a big deal and the government did nothing wrong.” So why did you resign? #cdnpoli #SNCLavalin
Butts: “If #JodyWilsonRaybould knew this was political interference, she should have said so.” I believe she spoke in her testimony to how she directly asked @JustinTrudeau if that’s what he was doing, making it clear this was her opinion. #cdnpoli #SNCLavalin
Giving #JodyWilsonRaybould a chance to return to respond would be the right thing to do. But this was voted down by a group of majority Liberal MPs. If nothing wrong happened, what are they afraid of? #SNCLavalin #cdnpoli
Saying two people have a different understanding of what happened seems a poor excuse. Firstly because if someone feels pressured, there’s probably something wrong happening. Secondly, because she made it clear this isn’t about how she “feels”, it’s about the law. #cdnpoli
You will also note Butts tries to make this about defending jobs, not votes, despite what was outlined on numerous occasions in #JodyWilsonRaybould’s testimony.
