"Press" being blogs and daily newspapers/television (which all have their own blogs as well speaking out on the subject).<BR/><BR/>Is this what is going to break the camel's back and send Basi/Virk (and their defence team) packing their bags for well funded vacations, paid for by taxpayers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-26719971420070158642008-06-16T11:43:00.000-07:002008-06-16T11:43:00.000-07:00Bill could you please post on your site the govern...Bill could you please post on your site the government records application the defense lawyers filed last week.

In this case, the people we elected are getting the funds from all the tax payers and that is a very deep set of pockets. We all find it sort of sleazy but that's what the legal guys do for a living. We can all speculate just who they are working to protect, and we all have some ideas who that might be. Saying so gets one sued or put the blogger in a position of her or him getting sued. A crown prosecutor is put there by a supposedly, independent of government interference system. It may be planned to grind on past the next election, who knows? Not me for sure. Only in BC could the Legislature get raided and years later we really don't have much of a clue who if anyone is the wrong guys. Toss in a thousand year lease on a railway that was making money for us all but just had to go and we now see the mess. We live in interesting times. Money always talks and the more involved the bigger the hush factor, throw in a few friends of friends and it really gets weird. I look forward to the actual trial with interest. I figure the judge has a similar interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-90358529155616152722008-06-11T19:12:00.000-07:002008-06-11T19:12:00.000-07:00If Basigate was left to run its course like a conv...If Basigate was left to run its course like a conventional influence peddling and corruption trial it would have be over two years ago, and now "we" would be working through appeals.<BR/><BR/>But in BC, where we have over a decade of Liberal "On The Take" federal & provincial judicial and crown appointments ... it is just one big Third World Septic Tank.<BR/><BR/>I'm surprised Greg "the dead dog" from Saanich (of Martinite phoney memberships imfamy)has not come back from the pet after-life looking to cut a deal on turning stoolie.(Dogs & Spiders)<BR/><BR/>"We Only Cheat When We Can't Win" is truly the motto of the Liberal Party.<BR/><BR/>The GREAT SATANAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-43508046172149688442008-06-11T18:42:00.000-07:002008-06-11T18:42:00.000-07:00Where is Michael Morton (Gordo's former Communicat...Where is Michael Morton (Gordo's former Communications Guy) in all this?

If he's a political operative working, or did work, in the dungeons of a BC Liberal think tank, why not just call him a whistle blower and be done with it. There is legislation in place that covers whistleblowers, although the author of the legislation (Gordo) never intended it to be used against him to prove that three of his aides were doing something that would bring the law into the legislative buildings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-25529221863245984442008-06-11T15:44:00.000-07:002008-06-11T15:44:00.000-07:00'Several' political operatives?Hmmmmm.....Is there...'Several' political operatives?<BR/><BR/>Hmmmmm.....<BR/><BR/>Is there a potential Johnny Dean hiding in there amongst that bunch?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>_____<BR/>(heckfire, at this point I'd even settle for a cut-rate Scottie McClellan)<BR/><BR/>.RossKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677239332112652522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-68668100252508930142008-06-11T13:17:00.000-07:002008-06-11T13:17:00.000-07:00Finally a startling image begins to unfold as to t...Finally a startling image begins to unfold as to the real issue behind this alleged "informant".<BR/><BR/>Once again:<BR/><BR/>WHO IS BILL BERARDINO AND THE RCMP TRYING TO PROTECT?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
