There must be a good reason why this person has been called but IMO, he isn't adding anything to an enquiry that is attempting to find out the truth of these matters and has absolutely no intention of doing anything to assist it in doing so voluntarily.

There needs to be more computer forensics. I wonder if there is a backup of the Blackberry servers somewhere that will have a lot of emails that might have gone missing and logs that will show who opened what attachments and when.

There have been constant new disclosures during this inquiry when they suddenly find new databases of emails and documents. This phase of the inquiry opened with the KC updating on late disclosure of these new sources and a question of if the inquiry should halt whilst those are examined. The Inquiry chair said they should crack on, if needed witnesses would be recalled to discuss any new revelation.

It's quite surprising just how much information has been retrieved in this inquiry process. It's a bit like the Stasi files from East Germany, systematic records of their own guilt.

I'm still trying to figure out the significance during the questioning of the Ice Queen, last week, of an email chain that had a short extra note inserted in it, one that was unusual and hadn't been seen before. Were they thinking it was someone inserting that text to cover their tracks, or is it evidence of mass deletion of the other emails?

I also don't recall seeing many emails sent by AVDB. Did she not send many, always phone people or set fire to them?

Do all Lawyers abuse the "disclosure" process as and when it suits them / their client?

Legal professionals have come out of this Inquiry extremely badly. They think they are untouchable and have no regard for Justice.

Certainly doesn't seem like they honour their sworn Duties to the Courts as legally required to do.

The ten Core Duties are:

"Core Duty 1: You must observe your duty to the court in the administration of justice."

Don't think Smithy was expecting to get caught out like this.

He has skewered him bigtime...............wonder if the Rotweiller gets to have a pop at him?

Now Williams is on his case about failed disclosure and the legal duties especially as someone potentially affected is in prison.

More odd machinations in Scotland. I posted a version of this in the Scottish politics thread so apologies for cross posting:

https://www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-committees...

It looks like Douglas Ross of the Scottish Tories wanted the Lord Advocate to make a statement to the house on the Post Office situation. The vote took place yesterday. The motion was pretty much unanimously backed by the Tories, Labour, the Lib Dems and Alba, but again largely unanimously voted against by the SNP and Greens, hence the motion was defeated.

Seems 'Selective Memory Syndrome' is a requirement of the Legal Eagles Budgies at Cartwright King Solicitors.

And of course, "I was only following orders, He, She, They, were in charge!"
