Q. What’s your explanation for it?

A. I have no recollection of seeing that link message. And there is — have absolutely no belief that either me or Agent Batty knew where that data was coming from, let alone that it was coming from DNC. The only explanation that popped or was discussed was that it could have been a typo and somebody was trying to refer to DNS instead of DNC.   

Q. So you think it was a typo?   

A. I don’t know.   

Q. When you said the only one suggesting it — isn’t it true that it was Mr. DeFilippis that suggested to you that it might have been a typo recently?

A. That’s correct.   

Q. Okay. You didn’t think that at the time. Right?   

A. I did not. I had never seen it or had any memory of seeing it ever before it was put in front of me.
