So what was there to lie about or cover up.

Whenever, whatever she may have known, a due course of investigation also by the police was done.
He stood trial.
Fought the charges and was acquitted.

Had he been found guilty that would have been different of course.
As it is, he appears to have had nothing to answer to anyway.
So maybe her position was more appropriate.

Acting or raising the issue whenever known, clearly wasn't going to matter, since he was I say again acquitted on ALL 14 charges.

Or do others know more than the judges on this.
One wonders why we waste money and time on courts.

I'd imagine more likely, this inquiry too has little legs to run on.
Since he denies any wrongdoing in the main.
He won the sexual cases.
I doubt this will amount to more than what those allegations did too.

The inquiry is investigating the Scottish government’s handling of a botched internal inquiry that upheld two complaints of alleged misconduct against Salmond in August 2018, and when Sturgeon knew about those allegations against her former mentor.

Salmond sued the government over its handling of the allegations in August 2018 after its conclusions were leaked to the media, and won.
