On the same day that Michael Cohen testified before Congress, Canadians witnessed their own testimonial drama from someone you’ve almost certainly never heard of: Jody Wilson-Raybould, the former attorney general of Canada.

The former attorney general spent more than four hours testifying before the House of Commons Justice Committee, confirming major details of a corruption scandal that has engulfed Canadian politics and implicates Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself. At its core, Raybould’s testimony offered us deep insights into the insidious nature of crony capitalism, and the destructive impact it has on individuals, institutions, and the rule of law.
