I did a blog Feb. 13, 2019, entitled "Fire them", in which I said Butts had to go. Too bad it took so long because now it won't help. It also doesn't help that Telford remains in the PMO. I predict she'll have to go too.
The longer this drags out, the worse things are going to get. I said Trudeau didn't have the nuts to fire Butts and he doesn't, but Butts fired himself because he knows worse is to come on this one and all fingers will be pointed at him.
One thing that also has to be said -- and so far hasn't been by anyone -- is that Wilson-Raybould should never have met with Butts, as she did at the Chateau Laurier. No attorney general or Justice minister should ever, ever meet with a politico from the PMO on any matter. I don't care if it's to discuss the drapes, it should never happen. She should have told him she would not meet because now she has left herself open to criticism. She's claiming they pressured her, but she very unwisely let them. But, as usual, the lazy media don't look into this problem.
Even though gone, Butts could still run the show from the sidelines, advising Trudeau on everything and anything. Or, Butts could decide to throw Trudeau to the wolves and let him swing in the wind, hoisting himself by his own petard on a daily basis. As I said, Butts ran the country. It's up to him to decide if he still will.
