Karlheinz Schreiber the master manipulator

Karlheinz Schreiber seems to be trying his best to manipulate our government, the justice system, the Supreme Court and the House of Commons at the same time, and sadly it looks like he is succeeding.

First, with just weeks away from being extradited to Germany, he changed his sworn testimony that he gave during the famous Airbus inquiry. Previously he denied giving money to former Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney while he was in office, but then changes his story to say that the Former Prime Minister received money just days before demitting office.

Last week, he said that he would not testify if he were extradited to Germany. This is after he had previously said that the motive of his latest allegations were not to extend his stay in Canada, but to ensure that Canadians knew the truth about his business dealings with former Prime Minister Mulroney.

On Thursday, he asked for a get out of jail free card, so that he could go to his home in Ottawa for a few nights for the purposes of searching for some papers.

Yesterday, he sent a rambling press release saying that he is willing to appear before the HOC ethics committee, but first he wants some answers from Federal Justice Minister, Rob Nicholson.

I’ve got to give it to this fellow. He is a master manipulator and is trying to extract all kinds of demands in exchange of his testimony. My hope is that the Canadian people will not be fooled by the about face in his testimony and see him for what he is. “A manipulator to the highest degree”.

"My hope is that the Canadian people will not be fooled by the about face in his testimony and see him for what he is. “A manipulator to the highest degree”."

Unfortunately, the Canadian people are not the ones who are falling for his manipulation. The opposition (and the media) in their haste to play "gotcha" politics are the ones "falling" for it.

KHS and his lawyers must be giddy at how this ploy is playing out.

One wonders who is really pulling the strings behind the scenes.

I have my opinions - does the name Power Corp ring a bell???

I don't really think that the opposition are actually falling for it. They are just playing along and pretending to be outraged at Schreiber's allegations as a way of trying to erode public support for the Conservatives. The Liberals and the NDP already know that Schreiber is scum.

KHS and his lawyers are probably pinching themselves in disbelief when they consider what they have been able to get away with in Canada.

If KHS was in any other self-respecting country, he would have been extradited to Germany long ago.
