Methinks Gerry Butts and his unnamed lawyer know truth is stranger than fiction and that anyone can easily Google "David Amos Federal Court file No.T-1557-15" in order to sort out the truth from fiction for themselves. Its blatantly obvious that Mr Trudeau had a duty to talk to Harper's Minister of justice and Peter MacKay and had them pay particular attention to info found within statement 83 of my lawsuit long before the election in October of 2015
Gerry Butts and everybody else knows why I am about to put the aforementioned matter before the Supreme Court and file several more lawsuits in the Federal Court against the RCMP and the CRA etc and also run for a seat in Parliament again N'esy Pas?

Trust that Gerald Butts, Jagmeet Singh, Andrew Scheer, Maxime Bernier, Elizabeth May and everyone else who sits in opposition know that Jody Wilson-Raybould may have lost her mandate as Justice Minister because of her failings in Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal within my lawsuit against the Crown that was filed when Harper was the Prime Minister and Mr Scheer was the Speaker. Need I say that it irritated me big time when Jody appointed her Deputy Minister to the bench of Federal Court not long after I argued their minions in the Federal Court of Appeal?
Methinks anyone can check my work by simply Googling two names "Jody Wilson-Raybould David Raymond Amos" before Gerry butts speaks his truth next week N'esy Pas?

Gerry, the only MP I think you should talk to is the RCMP.

Again.... not the issue, you are deflecting,
How it was implemented, when it was implemented... both are suspect and in direct contradiction to Trudeau's stated platform during the last election.
Couldn't care a less about the "should" care about the "how".

Why did you resign?
Robert Jacksteit
@Carl Street So he could go
in and attack JWR now as an independent outsider. They think they have
her set up and hopefully the Canadian people can see through it.
David Amos
@Carl Street Good question

Canadians coast to coast
should be proud of Mrs. Wilson-Raybold, and we should count our
blessings that we have someone like her "standing on guard for Thee".

SNC doesn’t qualify for a DPA, the law is very clear in that regard, you should read it.

Trudeau says "we are always
about saving jobs". What about Alberta or the pipeline. Wanted to
abandon Lav factory in London. Only for his friends I guess.

Gerald, will you please start
by apologizing to the people of Ontario for totally disregarding the
future of our kids, and grandkids. You were the architect behind this

Trudeau's former top adviser to testify at committee probing SNC-Lavalin affair
Gerry Butts says his evidence can assist MPs after hearing testimony from Jody Wilson-Raybould
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former top adviser will testify at the Commons justice committee probing the SNC-Lavalin affair.
Gerry Butts, Trudeau's close friend and former principal secretary, wrote to the committee chair, Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, stating that after watching the testimony of Jody Wilson-Raybould, he believes his evidence would be of assistance as the committee considers alleged interference into the decision to prosecute the Quebec-based engineering and construction company.
I just made the following request of the Justice Committee Chair.
The committee agreed to hear from Butts and will invite him to appear next Wednesday. MPs will also call on Privy Council clerk Michael Wernick and Nathalie Drouin, the deputy minister of justice, back to testify.Wernick and Drouin appeared last week.
Butts resigned from the PMO on Feb. 18 amid allegations he and others exerted political interference on Wilson-Raybould to override the Public Prosecution Service director's decision to prosecute SNC-Lavalin.
"At all times, I and those around me acted with integrity and a singular focus on the best interests of all Canadians," Butts said in a statement at the time.
Need for 'solution'
He said the swirling accusations were distracting from the "vital work" the prime minister and his staff were doing for Canadians.
"My reputation is my responsibility, and that is for me to defend. It is in the best interests of the office and its important work for me to step away," he said.
In her testimony to committee Wednesday, Wilson-Raybould detailed a meeting with Butts on Dec. 5, 2018. She said she wanted to speak about several things, including the barrage of people "hounding" her and her staff about the impact of prosecuting SNC-Lavalin.
"Towards the end of the meeting I raised how I needed everyone to stop talking to me about SNC as I had made up my mind and the engagements were inappropriate," she testified. "Gerry then took over the conversation and said how we need a solution on the SNC stuff — he said I needed to find a solution."
Trudeau faces calls to resign after Wilson-Raybould’s testimony
Jody Wilson-Raybould’s bombshell testimony prompted calls from the Conservative Party and the NDP to resign. 2:14
Wilson-Raybould
said she was pressed by 11 PMO and other government officials, who
continued to remind her of the economic and political consequences after
she had made her independent decision as attorney general to proceed
with the prosecution.
Conservatives have more questions regarding the #SNCLavalinScandal. I intend to move these motions at the next Justice Committee meeting.
Liberal MP and justice committee chair Anthony Housefather issued a statement saying the committee needs more clarification after reviewing Wilson-Raybould's testimony.
"We believe that it is important that Mr. Butts respond to the account of the meeting of the 18th provided by Ms. Jody Wilson-Raybould, in addition to the other allegations about him and PMO colleagues mentioned in her testimony," the statement reads.
Given that Wernick and Drouin appeared prior to cabinet confidence, and solicitor client privilege on the SNC file was waived for testimony before the Committee, and the fact they were mentioned by Wilson-Raybould in relation to the December 19 phone call and subsequent events, the committee wants to hear their recollection of events and conversations, Housefather wrote.
"We will consider next steps following hearing from these witnesses," he said.
Conservative MP Michael Cooper tweeted that he wants to call Trudeau to testify for two hours. He also wants Wilson-Raybould to return to testify, without any constraints due to solicitor-client privilege or cabinet confidence.
The government tabled a broad waiver, but Wilson-Raybould said it still limited what she could say about her resignation from cabinet, as well as her time as veterans affairs minister.
