One interesting aspect of that is one of the charges Duffy faces relates to the expensing of travel, accommodation, etc. on an out-of-town trip to attend the funeral of a prominent individual. The trip had nothing to do with his official duties and, as such, the expenses claimed are treated as fraud.<br /><br />A friend brought this up a few months ago. He'd attended a boozy evening with some of his Tory pals in the course of which he brought up this particular funeral. The others, Tory senators, had also attended the funeral and, like Duffy, had expensed it all to the Senate. <br /><br />When my friend mentioned this was one of the charges on which Duffy was to be tried apparently his fellow senators got a bit panicky. I'm told some of these characters have become quite friendly to Duffy lately.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-35398536728834200932015-03-02T12:36:07.829-08:002015-03-02T12:36:07.829-08:00This should mean the report will be released befor...This should mean the report will be released before the end of the Duffy trial.rumleyfipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346146988416679423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-35529714728484389282015-03-02T10:51:00.318-08:002015-03-02T10:51:00.318-08:00I guess that depends on when Harper pulls the pin,...I guess that depends on when Harper pulls the pin, Kirby.
