Duffy was a tool of the CPC which abused the power of government for partisan purposes.
It makes you wonder how long Mr Duffy was a loyal minion? Was it the case while he was still in "the media"?
And Duffy was being loyal to the boss who gave him his job, so the main issue was the payment of money by a party functionary in order to conceal their actions from the people of Canada.
Yet one more example of a failure by the RCMP.
