To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Any and all records that mention "Flynn facts". Please search all records (including, but not limited to: emails, documents, notes, and memos). Please search web and paper records.
For reference: "Flynn also began to seek the Washington spotlight. But, without loyal junior officers at his side to vet his facts, he found even more trouble. His subordinates started a list of what they called “Flynn facts,” things he would say that weren’t true, like when he asserted that three-quarters of all new cell phones were bought by Africans or, later, that Iran had killed more Americans than Al Qaeda. In private, his staff tried to dissuade him from repeating these lines."
