eDiscovery tools do not require individual email addresses to perform the searches, these tools are standard in the industry and the U.S. government.

The request was for INSCOM. That's why I sent it to you, INSCOM. This is true every request that I send to INSCOM.

The scope of the request was rather specific, to a degree supported by case law. If you are unclear about other specific points, please raise them.
