Rule number one... when expediently diming out the bad guys, try not to place yourself at the center of the criminal conspiracy...
Rule two... don't wait a couple of decades to come clean...
Montreal's La Presse newspaper reported that NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair told police he suspected there was money inside an envelope that appeared during the meeting, but he didn't accept the envelope and cut the meeting short.
Asked about the discrepancy, NDP MP Charlie Angus tried to bring the issue back to what Prime Minister Stephen Harper knew about the payment made to Duffy.
Angus didn't offer any reasons why Mulcair waited 17 years to speak to police if there was some suspicion about a failed attempt to bribe him in 1994.
Surprise, surprise.
