I'm not sure Sturgeon is in the clear yet. The Hamilton report exonerated her in a limited sense (the remit was set by Swinney). The Committee report was fairly damning about the conduct of the SG (both civil service and the elected members).
The addendum that Hamilton attached re redactions to his report is also troubling.
The whataboutery re the Toaries is straight from the SNP playbook. Deflect, avoid, distract, redact.
Given you've spent months here dropping Q-style hint-hint bollocks that the whole SNP was about to be spectacularly destroyed and be sent to the frozen wastelands for all eternity, your views have got about as much credibility as, well, any Tory's.
