As women start coming forward with their accounts of being assualted a few questions come to mind:

1) Was Ghomeshi completely open and honest with those who were advising him;

2) If yes, was Ghomeshi advised not to take this approach;

3) If he was, what was he thinking?

4) If he was not warned off this approach then what were his advisors thinking?

5) If the answer to #1 is no then the approach taken by his advisors makes a lot more sense.

I saw this brief report:

QuoteMr. Ghomeshi has retained the services of public-relations firm Navigator Ltd., which famously defended former Ontario attorney-general Michael Bryant after a 2009 motor-vehicle incident in which a cyclist was killed. But Navigator has reportedly been directing questions about Mr. Ghomeshi to another public-relations firm, Rock-It Promotions.

Which suggests that indeed Ghomeshi was not completely open and honest with Navigator.

Big Ears Teddy shouldn't see what is going on inside the Navagator Ltd. boardroom today.

With those big ears, Teddy must have heard quite a lot.  Get that subpoena out ASAP.

Apparently one of the women, an actress who played Lucy in Trailer Park Boys, is also an RCAF captain.

Yeah, it was mentioned in an obscure paper - the Tonic Sitar or something like that. BB linked the article in post 129 of this thread, and we discussed it for a bit.
