I seem to recall reading that an anon had contacted the FBI's Phoenix field office to ask if the memo circulating the internet (and cited in many MSM articles attacking Q) was authentic, and they were unable to confirm it.
Does anyone have this dig archived anywhere?
I think the memo was found on a PDF sharing website but the origin of the document was unconfirmed.

Yes, it circulated a lot in the media. Apparently Yahoo news were the first to gain hold of the document, but who provided it to them?
I think the request was made formally via email rather than a random phone call, and done as though it were a journalist wanting to ensure the document was authentic.
