Lord Advocate stunningly unapologetic about asserting power over Scottish Parliament investigation. "Enforcing the law is a vindication of democracy, not its denial."

Lord Advocate warns the Scottish parliamentary committee to be careful as they question him. "The committee should not entertain any attack on the integrity of the Crown or the hardworking people who work for it". Again, imagine a DPP saying that in evidence to Westminster.

Margaret Mitchell asks Lord Advocate why he imposed upon the Scottish Parliament "more stringent restrictions than for The Spectator". ie: why can a magazine publish Salmond's full evidence against Sturgeon but the Scottish Parliament cannot?

Lord Advocate says he identified problems in what Salmond said. But when Spectator went to the High Court, the Crown Office raised no objections to what we published. So Mitchell's question stands: why the double standards? Why special restrictions for Parliament's investigation?

The whole system is rotten to the core. UK Govt should fundamentally restructure holyrood and all the devolved institutions to improve accountability, also fix the civil service which has clearly been captured and misused by the snp regime.

Like telling Jackie Weaver she has no authority. Parish council level infighting. I'd love to know how much this enquiry has cost so far.
