Dear Glenn, Laura, Barton and John,

Jake suggests this:

Can you get me and partner Deborah Natsios into the Polk press conference? Lot of interest in your appearance so we'd like to record it for online disclosure.

A coffee later, too, at nearby Princeton Club, Bart's hangout, so he can host. Deborah's a Princeton alum.

Best would be a visit to The Intercept office for an interview and photo shoot.

Regards,

John Young and Deborah Natsios

Hi all,

I think it would be great if you guys could meet - if only because I think you all have very similiar goals. You are all doing great work in your own ways. It would be nice if you guys could get along and the best way for that to happen is to meet in person, I think.

John has been doing amazing work over the years - he is really hard to talk with because he is also a verbose angry poet when he suspects anything is strange.

Unsure if you can make it possible for him to attend tonight but he can happily have my seat as I'm not able to attend. :-/

All the best from Berlin,

Jake

John we go back a ways and you know I love you but it’s not nice to post your friends’ addresses on the internet. My best to Deborah.
