On clarifications

Is it just me, or does the Cons' latest attempt to confuse matters about Conadscam seem to include an inadvertent confession? Here's the text of their latest statement as reproduced by Kady O'Malley:

Media reports today suggest that Patrick Muttart organized and administered regional media buys for the Conservative Party of Canada in the 2006 federal election. This is false.

Patrick Muttart was a member of the Conservative Party’s national campaign team during the 2006 election. He was responsible for creative and media strategy and not the financing or administration of regional media buys.

Just so we're clear...

The Cons aren't taking issue with this week's testimony that Muttart was the "main contact" for Retail Media during the 2006 election.

But they are going out of their way to state that Muttart's role was purely within the national party structure, rather than as a representative with respect to "regional media buys".

From what I can tell, that can only be seen as a tacit admission that the Cons' main contact with Retail Media - and correspondingly any agreements with respect to the Conadscam ads - was carried out primarily (if not solely) by an individual whose lone role was a national one. But doesn't completely undercut the Cons' claim that the Retail Media ad buys didn't involve the national party?
