So this is what the new National Intelligence Agency was set up for huh ? Digging up dirt on a bunch of environmentalists. Shame on you Jerome

Hang on, he gets to illegally steal confidential information and then turn around and accuse the victims for it?

At the same time he gets to use people's salaries against them (legal salaries) while him and his party refuse to disclose-at minimum-what they are making in the Bahamas? What they are legally required to disclose?

Not to mention what they are hiding off shore.

I hope him and the whole crew turn up in the Panama Papers.

Mr Fitzgerald said there is no evidence his decision to disclose people’s private emails and financial information will worry potential investors.

Common sense would suggest that Fitzgerald's disclosures WILL have an adverse effect on the perception of The Bahamas as a place where business affairs can be conducted in privacy. In his arrogance, however, he is prepared to run the risk. We can only hope that the good people of Marathon kick this joker into touch next May. With his disgraceful neglect of their interests over the Rubis affair, and now this, they will surely take their revenge at the ballot boxes?

the problem is none of them have any common sense!!!!!!!

Here goes another Law suite by the Out Spoken QC.... Fitzgerald is begging for it.... Get him Fred....

just what a fucking idiot?

Does he really believe that parliamentary privilege will protect him from prosecution under the Data Protection Act if STB's can prove that he hacked their private emails and confidential financial information information and the police do their job?
What sort of message are these idiots sending to the Bahamian public, other NGOs and the financial world at large? This goes way beyond Noli Prosequi and Rubis, time for Fitzgerald to either resign or get fired.
With Wishy Washy Christie presiding this is merely wishful thinking as it will without a doubt be whitewashed like all other government dirt.

How would Mr. Fitzgerald like it if someone stole his private emails and made them public? This is criminal, where is the police commissioner - silent again. There is no law in this country for the political elite, and sadly no shame or honor, especially in Mr. Fitzgerald. In a civilized country if he was an honorable person he would have already resigned.

It is always interesting how the military juntas and other South American Dictatorships would always run the line that outside forces were trying to destabilize their country. Galtieri of Argentina even started a war.

Maduro of Venezuela is always talking about this. It distracts the less educated population from the desperate economic and social woes of the country.

So what is Fitzgerald really telling us?

Fitzgerald wears a fancy suit and along with the other PLP "made men" believes he is untouchable. Observe his arrogance.

This is really disgusting and sickening that this big nose arrogant man believes he is untouchable when he is in Parliament! Why didn't he use this vigor and drive to advise his
constituents of the reported oil leak in Marathon but no, he was scare to lose his job!

What an arrogant ass!

Can someone admit that they are going to commit an illegal act and announce that they will do it in parliament where they are free from prosecution? This seems the outside of everything that is sensical.

Secondly, he fails to realize that no individual can control who sends them information, but each person who comes into possession of private information has immediately gotten a new responsibility to deal with that information responsibly and to respect the privacy of the subjects.

**So Mr Fitzgerald your crime will not be how you got the information, that's the crime of the person who gave the information to you. Your crime will be: once in possession of private information, you carelessly, deliberately and obscenely released it without cause**.

IT IS **NOT** YOUR RIGHT TO DETERMINE IF THE INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE RELEASED. THAT WOULD LEAD TO SHEER CHAOS IF EVERYONE FOLLOWED YOUR EXAMPLE.

You are to leave the decision to release or not to release up to the judgement of an office like the data commissioner .

Stop acting like you have no character, ethics or leadership skills.

Comrades I am in shock over the calls to do away with honourable members the House & Senate, and persons appearing to give testimony before them, to be denied the freedom to make allegations that they genuinely believes at the time to be true, or at least worthy of investigation.
If you think the House does not work now, just you watch them in action without the freedom to talk freely.
This freedom of speech is equally available and has been used often by the red party members, both as opposition and government.
Comrades this important privilege is vital to both the government and opposition parties doing the peoples business in parliament.
I have a whole list of things that were said on the floor of the House, by government and opposition members, that they would not have dared to repeat outside off the floor honourable House.

Now that they have wrested control of the country out of the hands of rule of law,
They are free to persecute and prosecute any and all,
in the name of self preservation, self enrichment and power lust.
A national Intelligence agency with no supporting legislation is nothing more than
a Ton Ton Macoute. Thugs and bullies making people disappear for political cover.
Reversing the perversion has been damn near impossible historically everywhere else it has happened, as it has with the same formula and approach.
Are we so special it cannot happen here?
Sleep on, no worries Mon.............

I note that hope Strachan is concerned about the leak of finacial and other information from the law firm in Panama,but showed no concern when her colleague did the same thing in the HOA, Disgraceful

She probably concerned about that because she or her law firm caught up in it some how
