Looking into the briefcase

Summarizing The Brian Mulroney defense:

Mila and the kids are to blame, really. I would never have grabbed Schreiber's $100,000 cash if they hadn't expected to live in the lap of luxury after struggling along for so many years on the mere $10,000+ a month paid to a prime minister in 1993.

and there's more:

The money? Why, it was a retainer, yeah, that's it, a retainer. For consulting, yeah, that's it, for consulting.

and finally, you'll love this one:

I think his spokesman should just shut up.
