6/7 Clarity is scarce. An #RCMP probe continues.

#Auditor-General Doug #Wylie is racing to finish his report before his term expires, as the government refused an extension.

Investigator Raymond #Wyant found no improper actions but admitted he could not subpoena witnesses.

3/9 But the report's author, fmr. judge Raymond #Wyant, contradicts this vindication claim in his text.

Wyant explained his probe was "limited" &, unlike a public inquiry, "lacked power to subpoena or hear testimony under oath."

Critically, some declined interviews. Others declined to answer.

🚨 🇨🇦 SMITH STILL FACES QUESTIONS AS DODGY #CONTRACTS #SCANDAL REPORT FAILS TO VINDICATE 🇨🇦 🚨

Premier Danielle #Smith declared her government cleared by the #Wyant report, but the report itself tells a story of a deeply limited #investigation.

Background Smith & Jones with texting foreground: "Earlier this week, I learned that information was circulating publicly to suggest that Judge Wyant had supposedly sent me a letter requesting an interview. I was further advised that it had been suggested I might be unwilling to meet with Judge Wyant. This was surprising, as have received no such request."

Smith & Jones in the background. Foreground text reads: "In fact, I have been waiting since March to hear from Judge Wyant and remain fully. open to meeting with him. It's difficult to interpret this latest claim as anything other than an attempt to mislead the public.”

Smith & Jones in the background. Foreground text reads: "Yesterday, my counsel was able to determine that an employee in your office [Deputy Minister McPherson] had recently sent requests for me to meet with Judge Wyant. They were sent to someone who is not currently in the office and no attempts were made to contact anyone else."

Smith & Jones in the background. Foreground text reads: "You will no doubt want to immediately investigate these false claims which could have no other source than someone privy to Judge Wyant's work. Premier Danielle Smith has repeatedly claimed that Judge Wyant's work will be free of political interference. It appears that may not be the case. Sincerely, Athana Mentzelopoulos"

The #CorruptCare scandal continues. (Source @ Alberta denial)

Last week a letter was leaked from dismissed #AHS CEO #Athana Mentzelopoulos alleging interference in the judge #Wyant investigation even though #Smith 🤥 said there would be none.

3/11 The misinformation appeared in podcasts and social media from individuals with UCP ties, claiming retired judge Raymond Wyant had requested an interview but she was "unwilling to meet."

Problem: she never received such a request.
