don't know if coming clean is the best move
but damage obviously can't be contained at this point and i feel like this is the worst option chosen when you're trying to move the party forward with an election so close

Mr. Trudeau and the Liberal caucus have been channelling Donald Trump and the Republican Party, with Ms. Wilson-Raybould and Ms. Philpott jointly playing the role of former FBI director James Comey, ejected from the President’s orbit for refusing to play ball on the Russia investigation.

Remember too that this is actually the second time Mr. Trudeau has removed Ms. Wilson-Raybould as an impediment. As the released recording of Ms. Wilson-Raybould’s December call with Michael Wernick demonstrates, the former attorney-general knew full well the price of her continued refusal to offer a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) to SNC-Lavalin. “I think [Mr. Trudeau]'s going to find a way to get it done, one way or the other. He’s in that kind of mood,” Mr. Wernick warns. “I’m waiting for the ... other shoe to drop,” Ms. Wilson-Raybould says later, at the end of the call. Three weeks later, that sole landed, with Ms. Wilson-Raybould feeling that she was removed from Justice because of her unwillingness to budge on SNC-Lavalin.

All that was missing was a close-up of Mr. Trudeau at his desk screaming “you’re fired.”

In his response to the burgeoning scandal, the day The Globe and Mail broke the story, Mr. Trudeau dismissed it as “false” – effectively deploying Mr. Trump’s favourite dodge, “fake news.” When Ms. Wilson-Raybould later put a considerable trove of facts on the table at a parliamentary committee, Mr. Trudeau discounted them without offering up any of his own evidence. It was hardly the response of a party committed, at least in theory, to “evidence-based policy.”
