Wiseacre writes in the Herald : Of course the Immigration Minister didnt put pressure on the SIS to let Kim Dotcom into the country. The Prime Minister is the minister in charge of the SIS, and it is the Prime Minister alone who can make the call to override SIS advice. The release of documents showing that the SIS tried to block Kim Dotcoms residency application but dropped their objection 90 minutes after being told there was *political pressure* to let him into New Zealand raise further questions about what John Key knew and when. The documents contain explicit references to the need to brief the SIS director, and its unthinkable that he would not in turn have briefed Key. John Keys implausible deniability stretches credulity. The SIS, FBI, GCSB and NZ Police were all planning a secret joint operation against Dotcom, but John Key, Prime Minister and Minister for the SIS and GCSB, knew nothing about it? Yeah, right. Dotcom got into the country not because he had the money to be granted permanent residence under the Investor Plus scheme, but because the NZ Government conspired with the FBI to lure him in, and then engaged in illegal acts of surveillance until they were ready to *spring the trap*.
