First there was, allegedly, the $30,000 bribe from the "never-charged bribers" to the "in-the-docket-forever bribees", as recorded for posterity by Bill Tieleman:

"The ITO (information to obtain) documents also alleged Bornman and Kieran paid David Basi and Bob Virk nearly $30,000 in exchange for confidential information on parts of the B.C. Rail deal (in 2003)......"



Now, according to an allegation by Gary Mason in today's Globe and Mail, there is another $30,000, except that the second $30,000, if it's real, was actually the first:

"An individual has apparently come forward with information about the Crown's star witness, Erik Bornmann. He wants his identity protected. I've been told that the information he has is related to $30,000 that went missing from the coffers of the Young Liberals of B.C. in 1997. Mr. Bornmann was president of the organization at the time......

Oh boy.

Another little gem in the MaceMan's column this morning was this most interesting tidbit: "As an aside, I've been told that an editor at a major Vancouver daily newspaper may also get towed into this affair." Hmmmmmm.....Didn't Mr. Mason once work for the Vancouver Sun?
