Wait untill the auditor general report comes out and names a few more liberals who had expense issues as well. The bottom line is that the senate really has no rules on espenses and their process lacks transparency.

The issue isn't purely the expenses though. Yes, these senators messed around with the expenses. The issue is that Harper and/or his office sure look like they were covering this up.
Just listening to CBC Power and Politics in the background (or whatever this show is), and they're raising some very interesting questions. Why was Wright using his own email address to discuss this with Duffy? Its not such to freedom of information. Why is Arthur Hamilton (CPC Lawyer) writing cheques to deal with any of this?
