The official Conservative party line on this a few days ago was
"A spokesman for the Conservatives maintains Novak did not open his email and that he was pulled away from a conference call on the matter."
Now, ignoring the ridiculousness of not opening an email from either the Chief of Staff or the PMO Lawyer regarding an ongoing back-and-forth we now know for a fact form Perrin's testimony that Novak was in the call the whole time. So either Novak lied to whoever at the that CPC made this statement, or they tried to cover this up. If Novak lied, get rid of him. If the CPC is lying to us, we need to get rid of them.
It's a consistent pattern here. Lie, get busted, make another lie. Frankly, I care a lot less about Duffy than I do Harper and the CPC continuing this charade that only 2 people knew about this. I do not take kindly to being lied to, least of all by the PM. It's a big deal because we can't trust him. You want someone running the country who not only had knowledge of bribery in his office, but has consistently lied to us about it?
