The Latest Batch of Gawker's FOIA'd Philippe Reines Emails Are Out

"I want to avoid FOIA"

Gawker continues to reap fruits from its FOIA-suit tree. Headlining this latest batch is an email exchange between former deputy assistant secretary of state Philippe Reines and journalists/With All Due Respect hosts John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, then at work on their book, Game Change.

“He wants specifics. I want to avoid FOIA.” Is the text of Reines’ response to a series of emails in which Heilemann and Halperin appear to be asking Reines for the email address at his upcoming job at the State Department.
