Did David Johnston Obstruct Justice

 

...Or was he misled by the Justice department?

No matter how you slice it, the decision of David Johnston to prevent the Oliphant Commission from investigating the circumstances in the Airbus Case, raises more questions than it answers.

At the time when Johnston was appointed, the Justice Department knew this:

.1    The payments to Brian Mulroney for his role in facilitating the purchases of aircrafts from Airbus Industries were disbursed by an individual with direct ties to terrorism financing. Engelbert Schreiber Sr., was being sued in New York State for having played a role in the financing of the 9/11 attacks. In fact this was the premise for calling for the Appointment of a Royal Commission to begin with.

.2    That The RCMP had caused for Kroll Inc. to hire the journalist that broke the Airbus story. Jock Ferguson left Der Spiegel and worked for Kroll Inc's Florida offices. Kroll Inc., which at the material times, was the parent company of Kroll Canada, a firm hired by The RCMP to investigate the payments schemes in the Airbus case.

.3    That Canadian journalist Stevie Cameron was a confidential informant of The RCMP, and as such would have related allegations that in 2003, Arthur Hailey- a client of Brian Mulroney's former tax attorney, Bruce Vercheres, was deeply depressed and suspicious that someone would get killed. Hailey went on to write a novel called "Detective" to memorialize his trials and tribulations with Mulroney's attorney, his then son-in-law, Bruce Vercheres. Cameron related in a 2007 interview with me that Arthur Hailey felt violated when Vercheres began dating Hailey's daughter whom in the past was the Vercheres' babysitter.

.4    That a complaint was filed with the Professional Standards Unit of The RCMP as well as the Office of the Commissioner and the Office of The Prime Minister in regards to  allegations of obstruction of Justice by The RCMP in the Airbus matters.

.5     That on behalf of my clients, I had advised the PMO that The RCMP and the CBC had the wrong Schreiber all along, that it appears that payments were fuelled to Brian Mulroney by an individual with ties to the financing of the 9/11 attacks, Engelbert Schreiber.

Yet Johnston would lead us to believe that after a thorough review, The Airbus investigation by The RCMP was " Well Tilled Grounds", and as such, wasn't deserving of further investigation.

The Justice Department seemingly concurred.

However on June the 22nd 2011, staffers at the Justice Department were searching the internet and read several posts I had published on Blogger.

Below is a screen grab of the application that recorded the visits as well as the relevant IP Addresses. You will notice that their first search on Google was at 13:17 on the 22nd of June 2011, with the search words "garron murder". That day, they perused the entirety of my blog.

This searched was conducted just shy of 4 years after Johnston was appointed to draft the terms of the Oliphant inquiry, and a year after the Oliphant Report.

Certainly we can appreciate the surprise of then Prime Minister Harper when Johnston torpedoed the Airbus matters, an inquiry he called specifically because of allegations of terrorism financiers involvement with a former Prime Minister.

Then again, maybe the Justice Department was investigating me, but their initial search wasn't with my name in it.

As a matter of fact, neither the Justice Department, The RCMP, The Prime Minister's Office or for that matter Brian Mulroney, ever filed any complaints against me to cease and desist, and/or filed any criminal complaints that would have alleged that what I wrote was a web of lies.

When Stevie Cameron was asked by the Chair of the Ethics Committee if she had discussed any details of her testimony with anyone, she lied and said no, although she knew that we had more than one phone conversation about the Airbus matters while the Ethics Committee was conducting hearings.

In fact, I advised her, and Harvey Cashore of the CBC, that I had reasons to believe that their lives might be in danger. Turns out it was another journalist of the CBC on the list that the Ottawa Police would find, 8 years later, in Ian Bush's apartment.

I was aware of speculation that Justice Garon had participated in an arbitration process between Brian Mulroney and the widow of his tax attorney Lynne Vercheres. In fact I had an unidentified suspect in the Garon murders and as such, I had authorized the Ottawa Police to track my posts online. I believed that the suspect had visited my blog on several occasions.

I also made them aware of the Arthur Hailey allegations and re-iterated that the manners in which Garon was killed, were identical to the circumstances in the Arthur Hailey movie of his novel, Detective.

After his arrest, Ian Bush pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of Ernest Coté, a veteran that was 101 years old at the time of the attack, but he never pleaded guilty to the triple murders.

I raised the issues later with the Ottawa Police and my one question was this; how can a guy that failed to kill one man that was 101 years old,  was however able to kill 3 much younger individuals without any sign of a struggle?

I did not get an answer but Chief Vernon White was suddenly promoted to the Senate... 

Finally, it is clear that the Justice Department and the Prime Minister knew that the call for a Royal Commission was triggered by evidence of terrorism financiers involvement in the Airbus payments to Mulroney. 

Was the Justice Department part of this private arbitration process that involved Alban Garon, because of their prior settlement with Mulroney?

That would explain why David Johnston overlook the very reason why Prime Minister Harper called for the appointment of the Royal Commission to begin with?

Harper himself was stunned and was caught stating that; whatever this guy- Johnston, is paid, it isn't enough...

Johnston shortly after became our Governor-General.
