I also believe that Wright was totally in the Dark about this just being the tip of the iceberg with respect to Duffy's expense shenanigans.

I have yet to see any evidence that this is a loan. Not one shred, and as far I as have seen you're the only one speculating that! So if its not a loan, he just decided to give away $90k. That makes absolutely no sense. You have to admit that in the absence of loan documents that the attempt is obvious; to avoid Deloitte and the political carnage.
Once you get to that point in the logical reasoning, its pretty obvious that Wright doesn't pay a sitting legislator $90,000 (which is also illegal) without his boss knowing. The benefit here isn't to Nigel Wright, its to Stephen Harper. It reeks.
