British Columbia's Attorney General, Mike de Jong, is miffed.....

Why?

Because he just can't figure out how or why Mr. Terrence Robertson came to be appointed as the Special Prosecutor to look into Kash Heed campaign irregularities given that Mr. Robertson's law firm donated money to that very campaign where those irregularities allegedly took place.

Here, in his own words, is Attorney General Mr. de Jong explaining his extreme miffedry to the VT-C's Rob Shaw:

“You don’t appoint someone to investigate a matter when a firm they are associated with has made a donation to the very campaign which is the subject of the investigation,” he said. “It’s surprising, frustrating and unacceptable to learn that appointment was made.”


But.....

Hang on a second....

Who is it, exactly, that ultimately approves the appointment of SP's in this province, based on the advice and recommendations of his staff, Mr. Attorney (and acting Solicitor) General?

And it is important to point out that Mr. Terrence Robertson was not an unknown quantity to the current AG and SG Ministerial staffs that Mr. de Jong oversees. After all, it was Mr. Robertson who acted as the SP in the recent very well-publicized Bountiful case, which is something that the law firm concerned, Harper Grey LLP, is itself still trumpeting on its website.
