Press Transcript of the President's F.E.C. Nominations (C.J. consults — S01E20)

A stapled packet of letter‑size printed pages containing a verbatim record of a press exchange about the President's F.E.C. nominations. The sheets bear dense, typed lines and a simple header identifying the event; margins show hurried underlining and a finger‑smudge where C.J. leafs through it. C.J. consults the pages aloud to verify her phrasing and correct a public mistake, while others wait, tense and expectant.

Lobby Confession and Pressquake

The press transcript is explicitly cited by C.J. as the evidence she consulted to realize she misspoke about the President's F.E.C. nominations. It functions as documentary proof that transforms a verbal gaffe into a verifiable error requiring correction at the briefing.

Before: Presumably on C.J.'s person or at her desk; accessible for review and ready to be consulted.

After: Used to justify C.J.'s admission; remains an evidentiary document that will inform the briefing correction.

The press transcript is cited indirectly when C.J. says she 'looked at the transcript' to confirm her earlier misstatement; it operates as documentary proof that turns a conversational apology into a specific task to correct official messaging.

Before: Exists as an authoritative record consulted by staff (likely in C.J.'s possession or accessible to her).

After: Has been consulted to verify the line and becomes the basis for C.J.'s correction and the staff's expected briefing fix.
