Ouch.
Michael Wernick has been upset about all the criticism he’s getting.
He even whined like a little baby about all the ‘mean’ tweets he got.
Well, that criticism is about to get much worse.
During testimony (not under oath of course) at the Justice Committee, Wernick was absolutely destroyed by Lisa Raitt.
He was unable to give coherent answers, appeared to be using the same talking points as Trudeau & his cronies (despite claiming to be ‘non-partisan), and made a total fool of himself.
It was an amazing job by Lisa Raitt who cut right to the key questions, and Wernick was pathetically awful at responding.
Here’s a key part:
“At committee, Lisa Raitt questions Michael Wernick about his phone conversation with Kevin Lynch, chair of SNC-Lavalin board and a former privy council clerk.
Raitt: Don’t you see that Lynch’s easy access to your office “is a problem for this country”?
Wernick: “No.”

Here’s the full moment featuring Lisa Raitt, and Charlie Angus’ questions are pretty good as well (Relevant section starts at 1:25:18):
Raitt absolutely crushed him.
The fact that the former Clerk of the Privy Council is chair of the board at SNC-Lavalin is just a total disgrace and makes it clear who the system is working for.
And now, based on Wernick’s appalling performance, the scandal looks even deeper and even worse.
Things got so bad for Wernick that he was reduced to saying he “wasn’t wearing a wire,” as if not being like an undercover snitch is now the standard of government ethics.
This was another terrible day for the Trudeau government, and it’s a disturbing day for the Canadian People.
With the most powerful bureaucrat now clearly acting like a partisan allied with Justin Trudeau, the whole system is seemingly beyond repair.
That entire group – Trudeau and Wernick especially – has no moral authority to govern our nation.

Self-righteous Wernick has pretty much confirmed for Canadians we no longer have a government that can be trusted. So, even though it’s the government’s duty to protect and uphold the rule of law, Wernick and this Liberal government are the very people that are the biggest danger to the law right now. Thank you, Mr. Wernick, for your hostile non-answers. Wernick has confirmed for me he is serving criminals instead of the people of Canada. Liars are self-righteous i.e., “screw you” was apparent in Wernick’s tone and on his face.
The fact that the justice committee will not allow JWR to rebut Butts and Wernick’s statements is a clear indicator they are afraid of her testimony. I don’t know how long they intend to continue this farcical theater, but the government’s credibility suffers every time either of the chief toadies opens his mouth. The fact that no one is under oath (voted down by the Liberal majority on the committee) is another indicator that this government is enacting a coverup and no one wants to be held accountable when and if the truth ever comes out.

Yes this woman is brilliant. Just heard her on the Charles Adler show. It is a must to hear.
The honest hard working men and women of this once law abiding country always pay the price when it comes to the whole libtard government with the little socialist dictator trudope who believes I’m right and to hell with everyone else.Has there ever been a time when libtards came to power that we all haven’t suffered.The die hard indoctrinated fellowers never seem to learn the lessons of socialism that will never ever bring prosperity because when the people’s money runs out poverty begins.It was great to see Lisa Raitt take a piece of corrupt libtard flesh today.The 1.5 billion dollar… Read more »
Go Lisa!!!
What surprises me the most is that after watching Trudeau’s Clerk of the Privy Council credibility be destroyed by the Committee, there’s still too many folks believing Trudeau is still up to the job.
