The material in the package is quite damning. Assuming this is not an elaborate attempt to frame Blair Wilson, the existence of emails in which Blair Wilson and other senior campaign officials discuss (or at least have knowledge of) certain spending decisions will make it difficult for anyone to plead ignorance as a defense.

Indeed, it iis hard to see how all eight charges can be turned aside. Not all are equally serious (the Jamey Kramer charge seems small potatoes in comparison with the others) but together they might suggest a pattern that could prompt an in-depth investigation.

The Liberals, no doubt, are not interested in that happening. Besides the bad press, the involvement of the "Big Guy" who did not want Blair Wilson running his campaign, or to even think he was, might cause lines to be drawn from the Blair Wilson campaign office back to the Liberal Party headquarters. No doubt part of the Liberal Party investigation is to determine the scope of exposure, and to fashion a strategy to keep the focus on Blair Wilson and his immediate campaign team as the source of any problems that might be uncovered.

But now that you've seen the material yourself, you can decide whether whatever conclusion Elections Canada comes to is a reasonable one.
