If she was sensible she would simply ask everyone for the document 'Summary.Feb7.pdf' that was attached to the email from Jeremy, as she knows it exists and would probably be obtainable by FOI. I am not sure that the 'risk ofharm' defence that we gave for an email dump would extend to a request for a specific document like that so she would probably get it. And it would be a crashing disappointment when it turns out to be entirely consistent with whatwe published.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    I have no record of a meeting on the 7th. Nothing in my diary, no mention in emails.

    Ah. I get it. She sees the document 'Summary.Feb7.pdf' and assumes it is the summary of a meeting (the 'series ofTC meetings' that Jeremy mentions). Whereas it is actually our first draft based on the only meeting we had and the work we had done in the intervening time.

    It's unclear what USRTK have asked USyd for. Clearly will be a lot of emails though. I do sort of hope that they publish something about a meeting on the 7th. That will show how dumb they truly are.
