Well what did you expect? Did you really think that the Electoral Commission would throw her to the wolves?

If you read the Commission's actual judgement (here), you will see that reporting the alleged offence of accepting an ineligible donation to the procurator fiscal is deemed to be not in the public interest. As for the other possible offence of cover-up, the Commission takes the view that there is insufficient evidence. Not unreasonable on the part of the Commission, I would have thought.

Does this amount to exoneration? Well, hardly.

Can we move on? I hope so, but I rather doubt it.
