Eric Holder made a mistake by writing “been” twice in a row. Weiss has a few options here: 1. Simply retain the double “been”. 2. Omit one of them by using an ellipsis, eg ‘Had this report been […] subject’. 3. Indicate that she did not introduce the error by using ‘[sic]‘: ‘Had this report been been [sic] subject’. She probably just wanted to be nice and corrected the error for him, but it’s not really her call to make.
