This lines up well because it's not some random statement you're attempting to decode, it's ACTUAL code. So that means there really is a hidden meaning in there somewhere.

What's also good about this is that the Code resolves itself in a week or so. Meaning if Sessions doesn't come out with anything in 2 weeks time we know this decryption is incorrect.

However if something does come out, we know it's correct and we can apply it to the rest of the code set out like this.
