Whinin' Bwian Keeps His Dough - For Now


An Ontario judge has set aside Karlheinz Schreiber's $470,000 default judgment against Brian Mulroney - and sent the file to "case management" - a polite term for litigation rehab.


The appellate briefs were fascinating in but one respect - completely absent was the slightest mention of the $300,000 in cash-stuffed envelopes Muldoon pocketed from Schreiber (and I mean "pocketed") and just what he did, if anything, to deserve it.

C'mon people. Mulroney needs to answer just a few, simple questions:

1. Why did he state, under oath, in his defamation action that he never had any business dealings with Schreiber?

2. What was the money for?

3. If, as Mulroney has said, it was cash received as a retainer, where are the records showing it was received and disbursed in accordance with the Quebec Law Society's rules governing trust funds?

4. When did Mulroney declare the income he earned from this tidy sum for income tax purposes?

Everything else, including Mulroney's reputation, rides on the answers to those four questions. They're simple questions and easily corroborated by predictable paper trails. Let's get the answers and see the documents.

Stephen Harper ought to be demanding these answers on behalf of the Canadian public. Any guesses why Harpo has gone dumb and mute on this one?
