Time for Jared Yates Sexton to update his resume.
He’s just some freelancer, I believe, he’s not with the NY Times.
I just read Sexton’s interview with the Columbia Journalism Review. He doesn’t say he had the emails, he just says he’s been working on “Trump-Russia” as a story for a year.
He is a tangent and separate issue from the NY Times and how they got the emails.
