After examining the allegations against Conservative Party officials, the RCMP say that no charges will be laid in the Chuck Cadman affair.
The Mounties said they found no evidence to support the allegations of bribery laid out in a biography of Cadman, who died in 2005.
The announcement appears to bolster Prime Minister Stephen Harper's libel lawsuit against the Liberals over allegations on the matter.
Conservative James Moore told reporters Friday that Harper intends to push forward with the lawsuit, even if the Liberals apologize.
"The Liberals will be held accountable for what they have done," he said. "Today, the RCMP has confirmed what we've been saying. They found no evidence of any wrongdoing by the prime minister or the Conservative Party.

Which allows me to recite the three words every pundit loves to say: Told you so.
In a stunning turnaround, the Liberal Party has announced the discovery of evidence to support allegations that the Conservatives tried to bribe Chuck Cadman. This despite today's announcement by the RCMP that the case was closed.

well we said read it and weep after no charges were laid on the Goodale issue. But it was too late it gave Harper a thin minority.
It also didn't stop cowardly tories behind their keyboards continuing to insinuate wrong doing.
And you think you're better?
delusional.
