Does this guy have good timing or what?

Karlheinz Schreiber certainly knows when to let out a few more tidbits.
IF the coalition happens I wonder if they will broaden the scope of the Mulroney public inquiry?

Secret Airbus connection revealed
GREG MCARTHUR
From Wednesday's Globe and Mail
December 2, 2008 at 9:48 PM EST
Fred Doucet, Brian Mulroney's former chief of staff, received a list from Air Canada detailing how many Airbus aircraft had been delivered to the airline in the early 1990s, contradicting Mr. Doucet's sworn testimony that he has “no knowledge at all about anything involving Airbus.”

The fax, as well as three letters written by Mr. Doucet, are the first indication that someone in Mr. Mulroney's inner circle expressed interest in the airplane sale before it erupted as a public scandal.

The airplane delivery schedule received by Mr. Doucet outlines how many Airbus A320s were delivered to Air Canada between 1990 and 1993. The date stamp indicates the former prime ministerial aide received the fax on Aug. 27, 1993, at 3:50 p.m.

At that time, Karlheinz Schreiber was sitting in the back of a limousine on his way to Quebec's Mirabel airport to meet Mr. Mulroney and pay him at least $75,000 in cash – a meeting that Mr. Doucet has previously acknowledged he arranged. That payment, as well as two other cash payments Mr. Schreiber made to the former prime minister shortly after he left office, are the focus of a coming public inquiry.

schreiber is doing anything to avoid jail and is likely not believable but this does contradict doucet's testimony so he will have to explain that.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is eventually proven that Mulroney took bribes.

The mention of the timing of this is a stupid point however. It has absolutely nothing to do with Harper or anything that is currently going on in Ottawa.

His explanation follows - from the same article:
"The committee also repeatedly pressed Mr. Schreiber to submit all relevant documents, yet he neglected to hand over Mr. Doucet's correspondence and the Air Canada fax. In an interview, he said they were out of his reach until an intermediary retrieved them from Switzerland. He also acknowledged that he wanted to give Mr. Doucet and other witnesses a false sense of comfort that his filing cabinets had been emptied and all his secrets revealed."

You mean kind of the like the continuing referrals to adscam that the Conservative supporters on the board always seem to mention?

I will have to concede this point to you.
