I agree with all of this and made the point myself about her specific quote on the "presumption of innocence", a courtesy that Sturgeon and her mob did not afford Salmond either at the time of the charges or even AFTER he was acquitted. She, instead, went on to undermine and cast doubt on the verdicts returned at his trial at every opportunity. Salmond also had sought to distance his Party from the situation he was in by resigning. Sturgeon possesses no such courage because, always, it's about her and her alone.
I hope she'll be even more distressed when she realises how many of us were repelled by her lies and obfuscations at the Salmond inquiry, not to mention the rigging of that inquiry, and have zero sympathy for her in her current plight. You'd think after all the diabolical Salmond shenanigans she'd have ensured this hole in the finances would be dealt with pronto, but all she did was lie and lie again. But the best policy would have been not to rip off often low-paid and loyal party members in the first place - kindergarten stuff, but that's where the SNP is under the Murrells' "stewardship".
I hope karma finally catches up with this vile woman. She never seems to have considered how deeply distressing it must have been for AS, her former partner, when he was facing the rest of this life in jail! It beggars belief.
I knew people in the SNP Edinburgh West branch very well at the time she was being persecuted by the media, and it was Nicola Sturgeon who personally blocked Michelle Thomson returning to the SNP for a long time after it was obvious she had done nothing.
The appalling Alex Cole-Hamilton personally hand-delivered leaflets with scurrilous newspaper quotes on them to Michelle's home (that was how the LibDems escaped accusations of slander).
The SNP leadership did nothing to support her, and basically handed that seat, and the equivalent Holyrood seat, to the Lib Dems. Leadership pet Tony Guigliano actually blamed Michelle when his dreadful campaign failed to win the Holyrood seat in 2016.
The eejit MP Anne McLaughlin has pinned a post on her Twitter declaring Sturgeon's innocence! I hope Polis Scotland have a word with her about publicly discussing ongoing investigations! Pat Kane is also declaring her innocence. What is wrong with these people?
One aspect of her audacity which never really fails to astonish is the fact she actually trained as a solicitor so should know what is and is not meant by lawful behaviour..

They've never afforded a presumption of innocence to anyone - look at the witch hunt against Margaret Ferrier now!

One rule for others and another for the former First Minister yet her successor by his timidity and inaction reinforces this farcical situation.
