Koskinen was obviously outgunned and on the defensive using standard denial techniques while he backpedaled. Obviously out of practice as a “rea” attorney. Gowdy had him on the ropes and wasn’t backing down. I sure wouldn’t want him grilling me on the stand.
While Koskinen may not have specific knowledge of whats on those mails he was clearly in client protection mode. “Years” to get those emails? Sheez give any computer nerd access to the hard drive and they’ll have them downloaded within the day. Probably would’t take that long to filter the personal info on taxpayers out by using search filters.
