Nobody should be commenting on Alex Salmond's new evidence about Sturgeon lying to Parliament without first reading the Salmond letter IN FULL. wingsoverscotland.com/hiroshima-non-…
This confirms two facts first reported on my blog, in detail. (1/5)
Geoff Aberdein's meeting with Nicola Sturgeon on 29 March 2018 was pre-arranged by Sturgeon's Chief of Staff, Liz Lloyd from early March, specifically to discuss the allegations against Alex.
Sturgeon's claim that this meeting occurred because Aberdein "happened to be" (2/5)
in Parliament and just bumped into one of her staff, is a straight out lie by Sturgeon, as is the claim she then knew nothing of the allegations . As I also reported, Aberdein had consulted Kevin Pringle and Duncan Hamilton QC about the meeting AT THE TIME,
(3/5)
so there is powerful corroboration Sturgeon lied.
Salmond also confirms what I reported, that it was Nicola Sturgeon's Chief of Staff Liz Lloyd who leaked the salacious false accusation to the Daily Record (Salmond says a Special Adviser in Nicola's Private Office). (4/5)
Why does it matter? Because Nicola was, from day one, the force behind the fit up of Alex Salmond. In consequence, she has fallen into a tangled web of lies each apparently small, by herself, her husband, and every single govt witness to the inquiry has had to "correct" evidence.

@sarahkendzior too many dead laptops and mobile phones have passed and lost contact details for you.
US Government at the Assange hearing is depending heavily on the Rosen case and declaring its right to prosecute journalists under the Espionage Act.
It has even argued explicitly and multiple times that the NYT Pentagon Papers Supreme Court judgement says in the dicta (Judge's comments) that the NYT could be published under the Espionage Act. This administration is going way past anything done before even by Nixon.
But because it's Assange, the liberal media is paying no attention at all to the detail of a huge threat, and instead relying on Justice Dept press releases saying "no threat to real journalists" which is the opposite of what they are actually arguing in court.
I have the most serious concerns about the state propaganda machine giving yet another platform to discredited anonymous accusers, rejected by a jury after independent third party eye-witnesses repudiated their claims.
Anonymity for sexual abuse accusers was not designed so after trial they could continue a campaign against an innocent man and attack the jury's verdict while their identities are protected on pain of imprisonment.
Particularly where the women hold very senior positions of power and influence within the Scottish government or SNP apparatus themselves: and there is very definite evidence of collusion to fit-up Alex Salmond.
@adamrmcvey many of us believe fencing off the entire heart of Edinburgh as an expensive to enter "concert arena" is fundamentally wrong and entirely at variance with the true spirit of Hogmanay, which is about roaming freely and first footing.
We are also worried about the amount of money being made by Underbelly, a London company run by two Old Etonians, who are incredibly given full access control of our entire city centre and a monopoly on vastly overpriced food and drink stalls.
A pop concert for those who want it can be held without designating 16 public streets - including Princes St - as a pay to enter arena. There are top class Scottish companies with substantial events experience; there are local food and beverage businesses who would love a chance.
