The optics stink, but Justin is still playing games.

Nope, he was a very good governor general without the stink of entitlement and bad decisions of the last two.
To me this role is different, he's basically there to investigate the government in this case, and decide if a public inquiry is needed.
With this governments track record, and with what's happening in committee right now, where the fillibustering to keep Tedford from testifying has gotten to the point where its going back in front of the house of commons. The optics of this thing is not only key but essential.
And having a long time Trudeau family friend who's linked to a foundation that took Chinese money is just a bad bad tone deaf look. And Trudeau claiming that he consulted with the opposition parties when he hadn't is a bad bad look.
