End of story... Duffy made a big mistake in trying to cheat the taxpayers out of $90,000 and Wright was embarrassed by what Duffy did and tried to help Duffy fix it asap.
Its not like this is adscam where millions were stolen. Duffy cheated on his expense account and embarrassed the government and Wright tried to fix it because Duffy is stupid.

Perfect, now hold that thought. Harper claims he had no idea about this from the beginning. We both think he lied, so we're on the same page.
The rest of your version is basically made-up and not at all what Duffy claims, but even so: The bottom line is Harper was lying and trying to cover the whole thing up. That's enough for me.
