It is indisputable that an A list security firm did the sweep for the commission. It has been disputed by nobody that three anomalies were found on or near the commission’s premises. It is disputed by nobody that these were capable of breaching the commission’s communications security. The only fact we do not know is whether an actual breach took place. Does Mr. O’Brien agree that the evidence of this would be hard to come by, given the advanced level of technology? Is it not also the case that the one piece of indicative evidence is that on detection, it ceased to exist? Could this not indicate that the source was active on discovery regarding anomaly No. 2 and the phone call?
