Lawyers for Cameron Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence director accused of leaking top-secret information, are expected to argue that their client had “authority to do everything he did” when his long-awaited trial gets underway next week.
Ortis, who was the head of the RCMP’s national intelligence co-ordination centre at the time of his arrest, is going to trial on six charges, including four counts of violating the Security of Information Act.
I get the feeling he will beat the charges because conviction would likely expose the incompetence of higher ups.
