In regards to the Bruce Carson bit, I had pretty much front ring seats to when the thing went down in 2011. I can tell you that the insiders dropped him pretty much as fast as they could once they found out. People's private lives can be hidden from prying eyes pretty easily.
As for Harper's involvement, the guy has a very distance and alienating management style. Mainly relying on close, inner advisers to take care of most of the day to day for him. This inner circle was originally very reliable. People such as Tom Flanagan and Ken Boessenkool were with Harper from the beginning. But Harper drove them away. I don't think many people understand how separate Harper is from the nitty-gritty of his own party.
