Way I see it if you 100% believe the FM then you somehow are buying her incredulous story about forgetting the meeting with Aberdein (Ecks staffer) and buying the laughable accounts of both her and her husband about the meetings at her home. I mean c'mon they just are not credible to anyone with the slightest bit of awareness.
Sturgeon can just deny and front this out because her government have obstructed and deceived the committee set up to investigate this at every point, and are STILL doing so. There are huge questions over who set up the March 29th meeting and what was discussed and by whom. That information is required, Aberdein's statement and the November legal advice to be able to form an accurate picture of what happened.
In short I'm not best pleased with the way she and the SG have behaved in all this and its proven highly embarrassing for Scotland. I'm not sure whether she got caught out trying to cover up for eck and had to row back, or that her and hubby saw a way to remove him from the independence debate and it spiralled out of control....Either way not an earthly do I believe her story.
