Holy crap. Michael Wernick, Clerk of the Privy Council, is absolutely unloading on the Justice Committee right now. Admonishing over-the-top rhetoric — warning someone is going to get assassinated if it doesn't tone down. Doing a full defence of the investigation into SNC-Lavalin
Other people are livetweeting, so check with them. But I'll tweet out the transcript when it's available. This civil servant is, suffice it to say, giving me life.
(Wernick has served under both the Harper and Trudeau governments, just so you know.)

I'm in court this morning for the beginning of Bruce McArthur's sentencing hearing. We're going to get a lot more details of the case today. I'm not going into a bunch of detail here, but mute this thread if you'd rather not hear any of it.
In a pretty extraordinary move, the Crown attorney just warned the courtroom that the testimony they'll be hearing today. "It could impact your appetite and ability to sleep," he cautioned. Asked everyone to think hard about whether or not they want to be here.
High schools sometimes assign students to go sit in on a court case. There are *a lot* of high school students here today.

I'm in Ottawa this morning, where a demonstration is planned for 11 to protest Canada's signing of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.
Opposition has been growing to the compact, including from the Conservatives and Maxime Bernier. They've contended it'd sacrifice Canadian sovereignty on the issue — it doesn't.
"The GCM is a voluntary, non-binding document that introduces no additional obligations to states." theconversation.com/global-compact…

oh god the clueless wonder is at it again
If you're unawares: Seth Abramson is just a guy who reads a lot of news and tweets theories he comes up with.

He doesn't know anything.
145/ ATTENTION: Seth Abramson has built his reputation as an expert on Twitter, and has no other relevant experience or information. We must conclude that either:
a) He is working with Twitter to sell books
b) He is a Steve Bannon front, used to discredit the #resistance...

Massive line-up outside courtroom 6-1, the largest courtroom at Superior Court for Day 1 of serial killer Bruce McArthur’s sentencing hearing. Everyone must go through a metal detector before entering the courtroom. Metal detectors at also the front doors of the courthouse
This morning we expect to hear a long version of the agreed statement of facts. That could take quite awhile as the crown will likely go through each victim. How they met Bruce McArthur, how they were killed, dismembered and disposed of.
Crown Attorney Michael Cantlon indicated last Tuesday when Bruce McArthur pleaded guilty to 8 counts of First Degree murder, that some family members of the victims have already indicated they will sit outside court when those details are read out. They will likely be horrifying

Holy crap. Just remembered that House Democrats actual put this person on the Foreign Affairs committee.

Scary stuff.
Someone should ask Dem leadership about that. Pelosi chose to put her on that committee so she should have to explain why it's alright to side with brutal dictators starving their people over moderate leaders trying to take their country back....
Wow. And before that she worked for RT. Absolutely insane.

Now that Megaplex is over, I’m like. Trying to recover, but I know I won’t be able to.

Thursday afternoon, right before I was supposed to meet Charlie to help him set up our table, my car suddenly stopped accelerating, no matter how far I pressed the gas. Luckily, I was right —

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
