That`s a cute comeback living up to the highest standards of Liberal duplicity and misdirection.  Trudeau 1.0 appointed Thompson to the senate and Thompson was in the senate during Trudeau 1.0`s 16 years as PM EXACTLY AS I SAID.

I did not say that the Conservatives never turned a blind eye to the disgraceful Thompson fiscal fraud.  What I said was that Trudeau 1.0 did and that Trudeau 2.0 obviously would inasmuch as he has disassociated himself from the senate and as he is a trougher extraordinaire in the Liberal tradition.  I then said that the only PM in recorded history who actually tried to recover questionable expenses from any senator was STEPHEN HARPER and Liberal weasels crucified him for it.  THEN I ASKED 2 QUESTIONS YOU IGNORED.

I never said I read all 308 pages of the Duffy ruling.  I did read an executive summary of the judge`s ruling and it is obvious, as even the judge acknowledged, that he is not an expert in arcane senate rules and procedures.  And he was wrong IMNSHO
