Henein was speaking to reporters Wednesday after the charges against her client, Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, were stayed in a surprise court appearance. And on Wednesday, Henein kept the focus on Trudeau, and his brand, from the moment she sat down. “Politics are supposed to stay out of the prosecutorial process.”Henein took pains to praise the prosecutors in the Norman case for their integrity and professionalism. “There is a ship, a supply ship, that is in operation, on time and under budget, thanks, in part, to Vice-Admiral Norman.” Here her voice dipped and got a little gravely. And in one inspired performance, she may have done incalculable damage to the already limping Liberal brand.
