John Solomon wrote on July 28, 2022, that a senior Justice official flagged in a senator’s FBI-whistleblower correspondence had been in the Lois Lerner email file a decade earlier. The article names Richard Pilger as Election Crimes chief and recites the 2010 and 2013 Lerner contacts, including the May 8, 2013, Lerner email quoting his title.

Solomon also described the 2014 congressional interview placing the first Lerner meeting in fall 2010. That is reporting that stitches two public records. It is not a new conviction. It is not proof that the later whistleblower claims are true. A November 20, 2022, Solomon piece placed Pilger’s 2014 interview in a Jack Smith / Lerner narrative after Smith’s special-counsel appointment. Same rule: narrative join, not a court.
