What about this near the end of Bill Salisbury's piece in the Pioneer Press today?
When the controversy about Entenza erupted last week, Hatch said, two reporters told his press secretary, Leslie Sandberg, that they believed Entenza was lying about his political research and they would "write stories about him until he drops out." Hatch declined to identify the journalists or the media outlets for which they worked.
"At that point, I thought it was a pretty good idea to be recruiting somebody" to run in case Entenza withdrew, he said. He asked Luther and Lori Swanson, his top assistant in the attorney general's office, to "figure this out." Both filed to run after Entenza dropped out.
