A decision remains pending at Mr. Lemire’s hate speech tribunal. In a phone interview on Thursday, the woman said the RCMP told her they do not have proof her account was hacked, nor proof that it was not, and to investigate further would involve going after technical data from a website based in the United States, stormfront.org, which they said is not possible. national post

Well that’s a relief. Apparently the Horsemen cannot possibly, ever, get to records of sites in the US. Who knew?

Oddly, Lemire maintains he has an affidavit from the site owner in question which attests to the logs kept at that site. And the RCMP, Sgt. Stéphane Turgeon to be precise, has that affidavit.

And interesting that this decision appeared in the media before the complainant or his lawyer was informed.

I suspect over the next few days the internet is going to see a through airing of what information the RCMP had and did not have. I note, just for fun, that at the police level, the question is not “beyond a reasonable doubt. It is just a smidgen lower unless there is a buddy relationship.

I wonder if there is.

Perhaps an Memorandum of Understanding…

Update: Ezra is asking a few pointed questions.
