Fun with hypothetical questions

From far away to the south, Chuck Furey weighs in by email. (And where is ODP, anyway?)

Via the Ministry of Truth:

Former CEO Would Have Investigated By-Election
April 23, 2009

A former Chief Electoral Officer is indicating he would investigate the matter surrounding the 2001 St. Barbe by-election. Chuck Furey now calls Dominica in the Caribbean home, but responded to VOCM News by e-mail saying that as former Chief Electoral Officer he would "have investigated the matter and for 100% transparency, appointed a retired judge to look at the entire matter and make recommendations . I would have bound myself to the judge's recommendations". Furey says he has a great deal of respect for his successor, Paul Reynolds, and says it is entirely his call under the Elections Act. The opposition has called on the Chief Electoral Officer to investigate the 2001 St. Barbe by-election after it was revealed in Ed Byrne's Agreed Statement of Facts that he had paid a campaign worker in the by-election with money from his constituency allowance, for which he was fraudulently reimbursed. Paul Reynolds has indicated that the matter was dealt with through the courts, and that Byrne has been convicted and sentenced on the matter, and no further investigation is warranted.

Let's see... ODP, wherever he is, disagrees with Chuck Furey and stands by the former President of the PC Party. There is nothing to look at in St. Barbe 2001, move along.

And he can't very well dismiss Furey's comments as coming from a partisan hack.

What clever grounds will He come up with to dismiss them, then?
