No one had “directed” Wilson-Raybould, the prime minister said three times, ignoring direct questions that went to the heart of the allegation. The prime minister, again repeatedly on message, made certain assertions which really didn’t clarify the matter. The prime minister said he was surprised and disappointed at Wilson-Raybould’s decision to quit — fine so far. But heavily implying that Wilson-Raybould didn’t do her job raises a rather tricky issue for the prime minister. Having impugned her integrity, the prime minister must let her speak.
