Several years back, our supposedly non-partisan Elections Canada raided the Conservative Party headquarters.
They brought the Liberal-friendly
media in tow, and were said to be looking for materials related to 2006 campaign finance violations.
Of course, the hard drives
they seized in April 2008 would also have contained a lot of the party's campaign planning for the general election
to be held six months later.
Washington insiders are desperate to beat Trump, the polls are against them, and everything they do loses them ground.
Desperate times can lead to desperate measures.
