How could she not know?

Scotland’s former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon wants Scots to believe she is just a victim of her (now estranged) husband’s crimes, like everyone else.

She is ‘defiantly’ rejecting any blame Sunday for Peter Murrell’s embezzlement of Scottish National Party funds, and insisting she wouldn’t apologize ‘for his crimes’.

Needless to say, what the press calls ‘party funds’ are actually donor and (very probably) taxpayer money.

Associated Press reported:

“Sturgeon told the BBC that she felt betrayed by the actions of her husband, Peter Murrell, who last week pleaded guilty to stealing more than 400,000 pounds ($540,000) from the SNP to fund a lavish lifestyle when he was the party’s chief executive. She consistently denied having any knowledge of his crimes.

‘I am not responsible for the crimes that my former husband committed’, she told the BBC. ‘I’m not going to apologize for somebody else’s crimes’.”

Sturgeon’s is facing ‘widespread disbelief’ about her previous statements that she knew nothing about Murrell’s crimes, to which she benefited.

She admitted that it was a mistake to allow her husband to remain chief executive of the SNP after she became party leader, in 2014.

“’Of course, with hindsight, I wish that I could go back and take a different decision’, she said.

Murrell’s plea capped a five-year police investigation of the SNP, which has led Scotland’s semiautonomous government for almost two decades while campaigning for the country to break away from the United Kingdom.”

There needs to be a Parliamentary Inquiry into the SNP theft scandal.

Nicola Sturgeon said previously she fully cooperated with the police. Now it turns out she “no commented” all the police questions and only gave a written statement.

The Telegraph reported:

“In an interview on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg program, Ms. Sturgeon said: ‘For my own sake, but for the sake of people out there, a lot of women who end up finding themselves blamed for the actions of the men in their lives, I’m not going to contribute to that kind of sense that I am responsible for somebody else’s crimes’.

‘I will take responsibility for the things I do, the decisions I make. I’m sitting here with you right now, answering questions because I believe strongly in that accountability’. But I am not responsible for the crimes that my former husband committed and I’m not going to apologize for somebody else’s crimes.””
