NYT: FBI obtained reporters' phone records. More from the Post. Seems episode was about to be exposed by DOJ IG Glenn Fine. "Bureau officials said yesterday that, in an effort to prevent recurrences, they recently reminded agents in charge of field offices and their top lawyers that requests for news media records involve special rules. Fine's report on the issue is expected to be released in the next several weeks, Mueller told Downie yesterday afternoon. The inspector general declined comment."
