We're joined by PressProgress reporter Stephen Magusiak and independent journalist Jeremy Appel to discuss the story about Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's office allegedly contacting Crown prosecutors to challenge its direction on cases involving members of last year's Coutts border blockade. 

We talk about the problems with the internal investigation that turned up no evidence of wrongdoing, and whether this story is likely to harm the UCP's election chances in May.
