Liberals, liberals, and more liberals on trial defending their criminal charges of ripping off Canada. So what’s new, huh? Well I mean besides Stephen Harper shaking his son’s hand in an act of egregious familyness, shown over and over and over on TV even while you have to dig through 18 layers of junk news to find this story.
Ad man Jean Brault pleads guilty to fraud, Chuck Guite to defend himself
Advertising executive Jean Brault made a surprise guilty plea on five of six fraud-related charges in the federal sponsorship scandal during a routine court appearance on Thursday.
Brault is the former president of the Montreal firm Groupaction. His sensational testimony at the federal inquiry into the scandal included revelations that he funnelled at least $1.1 million into the Quebec wing of the Liberal party in exchange for sponsorship contracts. Brault testified about cash being left in envelopes on restaurant tables and reluctant contributions bullied out of intimidated employees.
“I acknowledge that I did something that was contrary to the law and against society’s interest,” he told Quebec Superior Court Justice Fraser Martin.
Also at Thursday’s hearing, Chuck Guite, the federal bureaucrat who ran the sponsorship program, announced he would act as his own lawyer when his trial begins on May 1 due to financial constraints.
Sentencing arguments for Brault will begin on March 27 while the one remaining charge of conspiracy will be dealt with at a later date.
Each fraud count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.
[…] “These were to elaborate strategies with respect to sponsorship or with respect to the firearms legislation.”
Liberal-appointed judges are sure to slam him with a big-time sentence. For example:
[…] Advertising executive Paul Coffin was sentenced last September after pleading guilty to 15 charges related to defrauding the Canadian government of more than $1.5 million under the sponsorship program.
He was sentenced to two years less a day, to be served in the community, and ordered to give speeches to university students about ethical behaviour in the business world.
