Stephen Harper and the Conservatives should be worried about the pending trial of suspended Senator Mike Duffy because of "what Mike might have up his sleeve," a former senior adviser to the prime minister says.

Keith Beardsley, who served for five years as Harper's deputy chief of staff for issues management, warned the court proceedings could leave Harper and his staff scrambling to put out fires.

"Duffy, being the showman, he'll release whatever he can release when it's the most damaging and that's what the party, the prime minister, PMO has to be on guard for. And they just sit and wait for it to come and you have no control over those types of situations, you simply react," Beardsley told CBC News.

"So as we get closer, the longer this goes on and the closer it gets to the election date, the more damaging that type of information is."

1. I loathe Duffy, have done so well before his appointment to the Senate by Harper...

he was a vicious Conservative partisan during his time as a CTV employee while pretending to be anything but. The irony, the delicious irony is he was appointed to the Senate by Harper because of his loathsome tactics and, now, those same loathsome tactics put Harper and his cabal in his sights.

I can't wait to see/hear what Duffy is going to reveal, it really will bring to the fore 'what goes around comes around'.

3. I feel the same way.

I hope he's not just blowing smoke. I want some real juicy stuff. LOL.

2. I hope Duffy knocks Harper to his knees

with his revelations, and I hope that dominatrix madam kicks him in the nuts while he's down. That's how much I loath Harper.
