Green Party co-leader Elizabeth May says she is unable to conclude whether former special rapporteur David Johnston's conclusions on foreign interference were reasonable or not because she hasn't been permitted to review all of the top secret documents he cited to support his conclusions.
May received top secret security clearance and reviewed the documents compiled by former special rapporteur David Johnston on Wednesday.
"I can't conclude that David Johnston's conclusions were reasonable, nor can I conclude they are unreasonable," May said in a press conference Friday morning.
In this case, I don't think she has much reason to put a partisan spin on it, so I'm inclined to believe her. Admittedly it is pretty disappointing, and going to be fuel for those who doubt Johnston's report. I think the real questions is whether or not these documents would have made a difference anyway, at least in a political sense. It's been a while since the initial news dropped, and each party's respective narratives have had time to fully form and congeal now. Good luck dismantling those.
