Today, former Groupaction chief Jean Brault continued his ‘explosive’ testimony in Montreal. This secret testimony is officially available to reporters only as it is subject to a publication ban imposed by Judge Gomery.

I have also had access to this second day of secret testimony through that American website which cannot be named. The American blogger was on the CBC National tonight and they wouldn’t even name him. The CBC even showed a digitally scrambled image of the blog’s front page.

Gomery secret testimony is the new pornography in Canada.

The only unscrambled image they showed from the blog was the Republican National Convention Official Blogger button that [CENSORED] shows on his website. Is the CBC linking the current attacks on the Liberals to the Republicans? No, that would be silly of course (yeah right). I’m sure they merely were letting the audience know that this mystery American blogger was only one of a few accredited bloggers at the RNC (after all, that’s what I got from it — thanks CBC!)

So, what’s in the secret testimony given on this second day by Jean Brault? Well, details of course, cannot be divulged for fear of being in contempt of court, but it can be safely said that this testimony added a new level of complexity to say, the entire situation at large (how vague…). I will say that this second day of testimony by Jean Brault is about as shocking as the first.

I shouldn’t say anymore because as that old saying goes…

“Loose lips sink ships”

So far this is shaping up to be my biggest day for traffic to this website. Blogging Tories is also having a record day. Everyone seems to be searching for one thing… the Jean Brault secret testimony at the Gomery Inquiry.

I’d like to give a special shout-out to my some of my visitors from the government of Canada!

You guys already know about the secret testimony by Jean Brault at the Gomery commission! Why look here? Use your Blackberrys, that’s what they’re for. There is certainly nothing here that’s illegal.

Adscam spokesman Francois Perreault has made a statement:

“Anyone who takes that information [from the American blog] and diffuses it is liable to be charged with contempt of court … Anybody who reproduces it is at risk”

I’ve been fairly careful not to ‘diffuse’ this information but to report on events outside of the secret testimony. I have read the secret testimony and perhaps it has influenced my opinion (as it should hopefully influence most voters) but I’ve never directly linked the American blog that shall not be named. Looks like our friend over at the Canadian version of the Drudge Report that also shall not be named will be charged with contempt-of-court today. I can’t even name this all-news Canadian website (although it seems to be down right now).

There are certain words of anger and of shock concerning this recent development that I will not attempt to convey at this time. This is a sad day for personal civil liberties in Canada.

I never understood this publication ban concerning its relevance to blogs. I doubt that it would be impossible to interview potential jurors and filter them based on their knowledge of even the existence of blogs.
