Via my #FOIA: Here's former DOJ spox Sarah Flores providing a reporter a comment on deep background about whether Jeff Sessions met with Russian ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak.
WaPo said today their 2017 story on this mtg may have lead DOJ to seize reporters' phone records
AND here's Flores in an email describing the Kislyak/Sessions meeting as debunked! So if not true how could it be a leak?
Sarah Flores responded to at least two dozen reporters by saying the Sessions/Kislyak meeting during 2016 campaign never happened and I have every single email. So if this is one of the stories that served as the basis for seizing WaPo phone records does it mean it's true?
"definitely no meeting"
"there was no private meeting, " Sarah Flores said
Again, if that is the case this can't be considered a leak?
The relevant section of the WaPo story that Sarah Flores said in these emails was not true when queries by other reporters
By the way, and maybe it's a coincidence, but DOJ produced these records to me this week after I filed a #FOIA lawsuit in 2017 for documents related to their media leak investigations
