Lynch's testimony, continued
Brent Rathgeber from St. Albert was up next. He made a very clever point: Lynch had claimed that her staff hadn't sued me for libel because it would cost too much. But that barrier isn't there for anyone to file a complaint through section 13 -- the government sues people for free. And, noted Rathgeber, the defendant has to pay his own fees, even if he wins.
Lynch's answer was classic: no defendant needs to retain lawyers. Of course they don't. It would get in the way of a 100% conviction rate!
Rathgeber asks Lynch, outright, whether or not it was ethical that Lynch's staff hacked into a private citizen's Internet site. Lynch point-blank denied it -- despite the fact that Bell Canada's security officer said they did.
Lynch admitted that a CHRC investigator, Dean Steacy, did use a neo-Nazi membership to exchange e-mails, but that "the exchanges are very bland".
Really? You can see those exchanges here.
So, according to Lynch, praising a white supremacist group; encouraging a white supremacit group to continue their efforts; and offering to help the white supremacist group -- that's bland? That's ethical?
