This was after a two year investigation by joint members and orgs of the governement, it's not a single event being blown up - I agree it could be weaponized, but its like not treating an infected wound with antibiotics because you don't want yo hurt your microbiome - wrong priorities

Edit0: reworded

Edit1: "Federal organizations involved: Canadian Security Intelligence Service; Communications Security Establishment; Department of Justice; Elections Canada; Global Affairs Canada; The Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections; Privy Council Office; Public Prosecution Service of Canada; Public Safety Canada; Royal Canadian Mounted Police"

Many MPs involved as well. Hard to look at this like it's not worth releasing the report unredacted and take action

... but notably, not to prosecution as yet.

It would hardly be the first time intelligence community certainty fell apart under further scrutiny. I'd be leery of giving unelected spooks veto power over elected legislators.

Perhaps you aren't from Canada. Our judicial system has turned into quite a joke over the last decade. It's not unusual for even hardcore criminals to not be prosecuted, or to be charged and then have the charges thrown out due to failure to provide a timely trial.

The correct thing to do here is what is done when any other serious potential crime comes to light among MPs. Release the names, have their respective parties kick them out so they sit independent and then proceed to trial. What has been done is completely untenable. Any party that signs the security clearance agreement to see the names effectively can't act on that information because it would disclose the confidential names. Whoever these people are can't be allowed to hold any serious position either until/unless their names are cleared in a trial.
