Barry Baxter made on CBC about money laundering at casinos, contrary to what Coleman told the Cullen Commission earlier this week.

2/ Transcription: Host Mark Forsythe:
Question: " WE"VE BEEN TOLD BY THE RCMP BARRY BAXTER THEY'RE SUSPICIOUS - IT'S DIRTY MONEY - GIVEN THAT WILL YOU GIVE THE ENFORCEMENT BRANCH SOME NEW TOOLS INSTRUCTIONS TO TIGHTEN UP BECAUSE OF THESE CONCERNS..."

3/ Coleman: "Well first of all let's deal with Mr. Baxter because he's off-side with some of the messaging I got from the RCMP last week when I asked them the question - and they're having a look at the comments that he made within the policing...
4/ "...because they don't feel it was basically reported - the quote or the comment was reported on a level - that actually was correct with regards to his comment about money laundering..."
5/ Question "HE (BAXTER) SAID 'WE'RE SUSPICIOUS IT'S DIRTY MONEY - THE COMMON PERSON WOULD SAY THIS STINKS - THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT'.."
6/ Coleman "Yeah, I know what he said and I don't agree with him and neither do all the superiors of his in the RCMP - and that's why I said to them 'okay guys we're gonna have a look at this - these comments came from you and I want them backed up' " #bcpoli #vanre @Garossino..
/7 At the @CullenInquiryBC Coleman said he didn't do anything in response to Baxter's comments or talk to the RCMP about them. The above is in direct contradiction. #vanre #bcpoli @scoopercooper @Garossino @johnhua
