The Libranos: The Process Is The Punishment

National Post: Federal government expected to withdraw breach of trust charge against Mark Norman

It is unclear why exactly the government appears ready to end the case.

 

Norman, who is charged with a single count of breach of trust for allegedly leaking cabinet secrets about the government’s $700-million shipbuilding deal, was the No. 2 in the Canadian Forces until his temporary suspension in January of 2017.

 

He wasn’t charged by the RCMP until March of 2018.

 

Now more than a year later it is unclear why exactly the government appears ready to end the case.

There’s an election coming?

  1. Damn! I was so looking forward to Ms. Heinen castrating the prosecution witnesses. 🙂
    I don’t think this is over; there are a lot of legal fees to be paid and the DND hasn’t exactly acted honourably.

    1. Justin using your money to clear the decks for his re-erection!

      If Omar gets 10.5 million, the feds could see their way to give Norman’s lawyers $150,000. But we will never hear about the amount.

      1. T.a., the reason Khadr gets $10.5-million is because he murdered a U.S. medic (a war crime), and the reason Mark Norman was refused legal aid money is because he served Canada faithfully in the armed forces. These are the values of the Justin Trudeau Liberals.

        1. That sir is sad fact of life in Canada. The terminally stupid are in control of a basically terminally stupid populace.

  2. The feds know that if they go to trial A LOT OF UNFLATTERING FACTS ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT will create a proverbial electoral sh*tstorm. In short, this is all about how the government engaged in an untrammeled abuse of power wrt to Admiral Norman and how they were willing to steamroller him to granting bakshish grifting to the LIEberal estate.

    1. This is HORRIBLE NEWS.
      The Norman criminal case had the potential to be the only real opportunity to get to the bottom of Trudeau PMO corruption. The only opportunity for a real court, with real lawyers, and real powers of subpoena, to compel testimony from those in the highest positions of power (Butts, Telford, the Irvings, Brison, and possibly Trudeau himself.) I think it’s a miracle the case lasted this long. No one thought the PMO would be so stupid as to let this go on, especially during an election campaign. Just another case of the PMO interfering with the Prosecution Service for political ends (this time, ironically, by stopping a prosecution).

      1. Team Turdeau members would have never appeared in court. One of their pet Supremes, for example Iacobucci, would be endlessly filing motions to prevent team Turdeau from appearing.

        I am very happy for Mark Norman if the story is true.

      2. Liberal Party Obstruction of Justice… again ? LIberal gangsters were never going to let this case go to trial… Turdhole PMO never expected Norman to fight back. This has the stench of Turdhole, Butts, Telford escaping justice, again… effing scumbags… the degradation of this country at the hands of the Liberal party is staggering.

      3. That is precisely why the charges were dropped.
        Now they can explain to the Canadian public why they ruined this man’s life.

      4. “The only opportunity for a real court, with real lawyers, and real powers of subpoena, to compel testimony from those in the highest positions of power”

        What, exactly, is a “real” lawyer, in a jurisdiction that does not have rule of law? Ditto for “real” powers of subpoena.

        Without rule of law, a real lawyer and a quarter will buy you a phone call.

        It is over. There are too many people living in a river in Egypt.

    2. Can you say ABUSE OF POWER? TruDOPE and his lickspittles should hang for this

  3. Hopefully the Admiral will crowd source enough funds to force a truly insane settlement, with full pubic disclosure.
    Giving the rest of us another club to use on Liberal Voters.

    This is/was lawfare pure and simple,hopefully our Admiral is offended enough to go for the throats of all these fools and bandits.
    That should get him all the way to retirement.

    1. More likely than not, the inevitable lawsuit and discovery will be delayed until after the election, so can’t be discussed.
      Scheer should go ahead and use this as another example of government abuse of power and interference in the judiciary.

  4. CH at Chateau Heartiste notes a growing consequence for trashing whitey:

    “In elitist circles, it’s not polite anymore to call people “stupid redneck,” “dumb wop,” or drunken mick.” So the rich folks have found a way to trash working class Americans by declaring whiteness an illness.

    However, what this has done instead is brought all the rednecks, wops, micks, and others together against them. This is a fuse they should not have lit…

    The pathologization of Whiteness is an EliteWhite workaround to continue to slur FreeWhites as the scope of socially acceptable slurs has narrowed, but the anti-Whiteness campaign has also been accelerated by the huge and growing surge of POCs for whom the urge to slur is more than a status signal to peers; it’s a bloodthirsty howl from their ids.

    Elitist Whites have no idea the hunger and strength of the beast they uncaged”.

    The first wrong step was tolerance, a close cousin to self delusion. Tolerance is rightly extended to children and pets, not to those who would bring low civilization itself. Reality is a merciless arena, being marginalized and powerless was the charitable option.

    We’ve allowed whites to be treated as a noxious contaminant in an otherwise pristine population. No insult, no slur, no lie is forbidden. And no matter how outrageously abusive the slander, it can be done publicly with impunity.

    There was a day when I said this only about us Appalachians. There came a day when the assault had expanded to include all white men. Now it’s all white people, past and present, and every construct and symbol of our existence. But they should have a care. There’s a rock ahead of their showboat, just under the suface, as Heartiste has pointed out.

    Elitist whites have seen street theatre and random violence by adolescents and impulsive underachievers. They haven’t seen calm, calculated and implacable countermoves by the capable and determined. Now that engine is ticking over. Remember who turned the key

    1. The elitists, sad to say, only negotiate in good faith with people able and willing to annihilate them if their right to exist is not acknowledged unconditionally. (They are no longer all white, and increasingly favour Chinese wives for their heirs.)

      Israel is now capable of firing ballistic missiles directly at Moscow and St. Petersburg, setting off the Russian nuclear arsenal and destroying civilization, if not all life on earth. Hence, for the first time in modern history, the elites have to take the rights of the Jews seriously.

      Working-class whites who want the New York globalists to stop tormenting them are advised to get their own atomic bomb.

  5. Meanwhile, Gerald Butts has accepted a sinecure at a New York consulting firm, allowing him to maintain his living standard in exile while he waits for the next Librano government to give him amnesty for his crimes. No driving an Uber or washing dishes for cash under the table for Gerry. Only the little people need worry where their next meal is coming from—much less about going to prison if they break the law.

    Gerry will advise wealthy clients on how best to get rich off the climate change hoax.

  6. This is seriously NOT good news; the PM hopes to bury this before the upcoming election. Just hope the Vice Admiral and his attorney can figure out how to out-flank the government move and get all the nastiness out before the public just as the election campaign starts.

      1. Its the second article that had me laughing…. Christya Freeland running for the Libs as PM..??

        I say to you Liberals – PLLEASE do…and if she wont, try McKenna.

  7. When the Chicoms say that over and over your country politically interferes in the Justice system – and they’re right – you know your country is the #Shithole Canada.

  8. The gang of LIBRANOS : Justin Trudeau, Michael Wernick , Katie Telford , Gerald Butts, and Scot Brison knew the jig was up!!!!! Like the bunch of rats they are ; they jumped ship!!!! The timing for the trial would have been perfect!

    Shit , Ms Heinen would have nailed them to the cross of their own making!!!

    I hope Admiral Mark Norman, counter sues the PMO for Defamation of Character! Maybe for 10.5 Million

  9. Since the corrupt Trudeau Liberal government decided not to assist in Mark Norman’s legal bills, it has been left to military supporters and a few conservatives to help the commander out. Here is his GoFubndMe page:
    https://www.gofundme.com/51lc5d4

    I will be kicking in a few $$.

    Note from the link that so far just over $400,000 of the $500,000 goal has been raised. I would bet the commander’s legal team has cost him more.

  10. Canadians have such a short attention span that SNC and the Vice Admiral will be forgotten come election day. The same media that have recently dumped on young Turdeau are already in the process of managing his resurrection as the ‘Comeback Kid’.

    Amazing that as quickly as it is acknowledged that progressives control education, media and government infrastructure that these vary ‘tools’ are discounted or ignored by conservative critics. Educators establish the progressive narrative, media promote and defend it and the government sector limits the debate and live off the cash flow.

    It appears to me that the CPC platform of ‘vote for me because I am smarter than the Liebels’ is doomed to failure. They do not control or really influence education, media or government. In their years of opposition they have not really developed a coherent, well thought out message. They might resort to populism which I am not discounting as a valid process but the long term impact is questionable. Populism does not have a fundamental philosophical base.

  11. Exactly what I predicted. They better be writing him a cheque for $10 million and put him back into the promotion stream. There should be a public inquiry so we can hear the testimony we would have heard in trial.

  12. Just ask Mark Stein about the process being the punishment. The MP/MLA/MPP you voted for is fully on board, and has never talked about trying to stop any of it, have they.

    Strange how climate Barbie need 25,000 first class flights in a fleet of 35 jumbo jets every week to fight global warming with 40,000 staff and friends.

    If there needs to be a price on carbon, why hasn’t Pierre Poilievre or any of the others ever suggested that it can start with their own travel allowances? Why not start taking $200 per ton off their pensions and salaries for keeping the lights and heat on on Parliament Hill?

    When is anyone going to force climate Barbie to live up to her own rules?

    1. It’s because none of them actually want to fight it; they only want the appearance of fighting it. Like Scott Moe fighting the carbon tax, by paying the carbon tax.

      Their sinecures are secure, and they laugh every time another one of you suckers believes it when they say “I care about you, vote for me”.

  13. But the smear continues. In staying the charges the crown prosecutor called Norman’s behaviour “secretive and inappropriate” but allowed that it was not criminal.

    https://globalnews.ca/news/5253178/mark-norman-charges-dropped/?utm_source=onsite_notification

    I think Telford must have written the prosecutor’s words.

    The secretive and inappropriate behaviour was on the part of; Turdeau, Warnick, Butts, Brison, and the PMO.

    For example; the defence requested documents from the PMO. A judge ordered them produced. One of the documents delivered was a sixty page note from Warnick to Turdeau. All sixty pages were blacked out, the PMO citing solicitor-client privilege. But Warnick is not a lawyer! Shades of Soviet style jurisprudence.

  14. “INDICT THE CRIME MINISTER” – in large letters on every pickup truck tailgate from sea to sea.

    If Andrew Scheer promises a Judicial Inquiry into the persecution of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman and cites the evidence for obstruction of Justice charges (prima facie case) and Marie Henein’s solidifying argument that this is a case of Malicious Prosecution. Then this scandal will, like the proverbial Albatross, hang around the neck of the Trudeau Liberals through the entire election cycle.

    The difference between allowing Justin Trudeau a minority gov’t. kept in power by the NDP versus the CPC winning a minority government or more importantly a majority government, which is desperately needed to jump start the economy. This requires keeping the Liberals on the defensive for the next 5 months ! Not giving them a chance to weasel out, because weasels is exactly what, they are proving themselves to be.

    Even Liberal voters, at least some of them, will react to the moral turpitude displayed by the Trudeau government.

  15. They pulled the plug because Andrew Leslie baled and agreed to testify on the side of Norman.

  16. No worries – the new AG assures that there was absolutely no political interference ! I have noticed however, that a lion doesn’t have to tell you it’s a lion.
