So, this will hit this Prime Minister where he lives: the guy is no genius, but he's sentient enough to recognize major political trouble when it's coming so quite naturally, he doesn't want an inquiry or commission. Think back to Sponsorship and how that PC and Liberal largesse killed the Liberals for almost a decade -- this is definitely reminiscent of that.
As in so much that amounts to a political scandal, the fun part will be following the money. One suspects that many a class in Ottawa is already out for Trudeau's hide, deeming him, at the very least, as being a serious national security risk.
As a result, expect this PM to get the George Santos treatment: first a trickle, then a brook, followed by a river, a sea and ultimately coming face with ocean currents. Liberals have to ask themselves at precisely what point does this guy become expendable? The short answer is, of course, before they do.
That means that when push inevitably comes to shove, they will have no other realistic choice but to JettisonJustinTM. For his part, Trudeau will want to save himself from utter humiliation, so that's when he'll finally resign.
Can't happen soon enough for me.
