If i have been informed that - 'It was not really all the fault of 'A' - because there was so much 'skulduggery' going on there at that time. My understanding of the term 'skulduggery' - is as - meaning inproper, illegal, underhanded and corrupt. and the officials in question are 'Police Officers'.

I would personally translate that as someone not wanting to accept the blame or place it on "A". Here's a new one for you..."Passing the buck." It means trying to blame someone else or make it someone elses responsibility. In god we trust. All others are investigated. If you don't have the cold hard facts with evidence to support it, forget it. Don't be a "rumor mill".

There is nothing wrong with skulduggery. It goes back to the days when wannabee doctors would pay people to dig dead people up for surgical analysis.
Important medical research without which medical books could not have been written.
Police prison officers, counsil officers traffic wardens all commit crime from time to time, GET OVER IT, we are all human.
Its only the ones who go too far that get thrown out.
