It’s nice to see the Trumps understand how Scots react to brow-beating by foreigners. Surely the Parliament will be sufficiently chastised to quietly drop the matter. /sarcasm ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > The Scottish Parliament has voted not to investigate Individual 1. They haven’t exactly said ‘no’, more like ‘lets just follow due process like always’ > Scottish ministers instead passed an amendment to Harvie’s motion stating the power to launch an investigation into Mr. Trump’s finances lay with the Civil Recovery Unit, an independent investigative body that reports to the Lord Advocate — Scotland’s equivalent of the attorney general. The amendment said, “to preserve the rule of law, there must not be political interference in the enforcement of the law.” Also: > Harvie argued that the power to seek to launch an investigation lay with government ministers, but the amendment approved Wednesday said that the work of the independent CRU was done “on behalf of” Scottish ministers, and that **it was CRU practice to neither confirm nor deny whether an investigation was ongoing.** Bolding mine. Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but … watch this space ---

A lot too little, a lot too late… I particularly like this one: “Patrick Harvie is nothing more than a national embarrassment with his pathetic antics that only serve himself and his political agenda,” Eric Trump said yesterday A Trump criticizing anyone else for being a national embarrassment and for pathetic antics boggles the mind. ---
