Daft Con

There have been many cons.

First there was consultant negotiating a contract to have a US law firm establish contact with the US authorities.

The PM hastily concocted a response in parliament, but later conceded that there indeed had been some contact but no contract.

But that response was un-convincing and there was a call for concrete evidence of the correction. Such proved controversial as glaring inconsistencies began to emerge.

• Were the US authorities conned?
• Was there a conspiracy to deceive and defraud?
• Who will be convicted?
• Who will have to be consoled?

Soon nothing will remain concealed, for this matter can no longer be contained.  The JLP is in a conundrum as the matter is not being brought to a conclusion quickly and the political fallout seems to be contagious.

The contrast with the Trafigura Affair has crossed the political Rubicon. The PM appears confused; Brady may confess; Vaz has been confined.

The saga continues.
