The Johnston Appointment Summarised: Fool or Knave, No Decent GG

There are 2 possibilities re. Johnston's "judgment" in setting terms of reference re. Mulroney corruption:
either Johnston is sentient, in which case, given CV, he knowingly played the knave's part, setting terms of reference that saved most of our great and good from embarrassment, and got away with it because he was clothed in fine robes, or;

he is a simple fool, despite his CV, and genuinely thought that there was no need to actually figure out what it was all about.

If he's the first, he's too much of a knave to be GG, and if he's the 2nd, he's too much of a fool. Either way, too associated with vital dirty political services to govt of day. You can wrap crap in roses, it's still crap.

I do Johnston the compliment of thinking him sentient, and thus his courtiership in Mulroney-Schreiber utter knavery. You are free to believe him a simple well-meaning fool. More fool you. But either way, given his recent association to this govt, NO DECENT GG!
