Vancouver lawyer files complaint against Flanagan

Cool. Gail Davidson filed a written complaint today against Tom Flanagan, saying that he "counselled and/or incited the assassination of Julian Assange contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada". Nothing will probably come of it but A for effort.

In her complaint, Davidson requested that her complaint be investigated promptly by "competent and independent investigators", and that a report and a copy of the complaint be referred to an independent prosecutor for the approval of charges.

She also asked that she be kept informed by any officers or prosecutors involved in the case.

"Tom Flanagan has been a close advisor of Stephen Harper, as chronicled in his book, Harper’s Team: Behind the Scenes in the Conservative Rise to Power (2007, second edition 2009)," Davidson wrote in her complaint. "Flanagan managed Harper’s campaign to become leader of the Canadian Alliance party and then of the Conservative party. He managed the Conservative party campaign for the 2006 election and was the communications consultant for the Conservatives during the 2006 election campaign."
