    >”The public inquiry into foreign interference heard testimony Tuesday that it **took “some time” for then Public Safety minister Bill Blair** and his staff **to get “comfortable”** with authorizing an eavesdropping and entry warrant in 2021 directed at Liberal powerbroker Michael Chan.The inquiry has already heard that it **took 54 days for Mr. Blair to sign** the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warrant in the months leading up to the 2021 federal election campaign, a delay that the minister has reportedly blamed on his former chief of staff Zita Astravas.”

    >”Mr. Blair’s office declined to comment Tuesday. His press secretary Simon Lafortune said **Mr. Blair** will abstain from comment until he testifies Friday at the inquiry, headed by Justice Marie-Josée Hogue. As recently as last week he was blaming Ms. Astravas for the delay. **“I was not advised by my Chief of Staff of a pending warrant application until it was presented for my signature,”** 

    What will come of this lie from Blair? Probably nothing. See: SNC-Lavalin Affair, the WE Charity Scandal, the green slush fund, hiding the names of traitors.

    I wonder how these folks sleep after selling out their country?

    I just want to take a minute and remind folks how hard the Liberals fought to avoid an inquiry.
