Really Bob is that all you've got???
The first is a BOARD MEMBER of the POST OFFICE asking a question to the POST OFFICES Head of Legal (their General Council) (the woman who has famously REFUSED to attended to give evidence to the inquiry).
The bloke IS the government's representative on the POST OFFICE BOARD, that is true - but his knowledge of what the POST OFFICE is doing/has done, is from what has been presented to the board.
Unless you missed it completely - and I have put it on a plate for you to see for yourself - Jason Beer (who you have lauded profusely up to know and he fully deserves it) has made it blindingly obvious to the inquiry's Chair, Wyn Williams, that the POST OFFICIES EXECUTIVE TEAM led by Vennells has NOT presented to the POST OFFICES BOARD with anything like the full extent of the truth as to what has actually been going on.
I fully expect Williams will state this to be one of the key failings in his findings and the chief exacerbating factor that prolonged the scandal for years to the SPMs.
If you want a comparison of sorts, then think of how BWFC owner Saint Eddie Davies, allowed BWFC's Board (Gartside) to basically fuck up the company and land Davies with being £200m out of pocket at the end of it.
I'm not suggesting that Gartside did anything deceitful though but Garside was the link to the owner and kept Eddie informed of the Boards decisions in just the same way as Cooper was the representative of the owner (the government) and kept the government informed of what matters the post office board were dealing with - and obviously he (and therefore the government) where completely unaware of the scandal as Vennells hid all the 'dirty linen' away from them (the POL board) by means of 'gatekeeping'.
Your second link is not even relevant to the scandal as such but does show that the POST OFFICE BOARD in their complete ignorance as to what had actually been going on for years behind their backs because Vennells et al had kept them in the dark, had genuinely thought they had been doing a good job!
Come on Bob, surely you've got something more substantial than these two sticks of limp rhubarb to have built your conspiracy theory of a deep state cover-up upon?
