The cover-up started with ‘Paul Warning-Shots Sheehan’ and it seems the Police Commissioner initially went along with it, even as far as passing on Sheehan’s version to Kurt Farrugia and the public.

What we don’t know is WHEN the minister was informed by Sheehan, or the Police Commissioner, about the bullet holes.

One assumes that both the minister and the PM came to know about the bullet holes that same night and hence knew that the Department of Information press release was a lie.

But again, evidence-wise, it’s doing a Kessler: applying “a set of unambiguous pieces of circumstantial evidence” proving nothing at all.

As for administrative and political responsibility, those are a world apart from Kessler’s.

Malta’s ‘top’ criminal lawyer doing what he does best but this time he is defending himself.

I can imagine a few skeletons will come out of closet in the very near future. Like for like cases involving the Police and cover ups.

Bring them all down, I say. This is not political anymore.

Since when are we relying on the Opposition (no matter who’s who at the moment) to establish the facts as they happened?

It is the SOLE responsibility of the government of the day, as Marlene Farrugia would say.

However, forget the transcripts. Even without them all indicators point to a cover-up. See Daphne’s other post about the chronology of events.

If this was a serious government the matter would have been handled very, very differently.

If only the gun had backfired.

Assuming that those excerpts are the best indicators, then the PN is going for an overkill and it will backfire.
