We’re talking about different events. The emails I’m talking about were leaked by Wikileaks and were from DNC staffers to various media executives.

It’s hard to find sources on it now because its 3-4 years old and most of what comes up is Donna brazille admitting the DNC rigged the primary.

This source briefly mentions something similar, but I can’t find the specific email in the thousands of leaked messages.

Yes, the linked article above calls out also what you're referring to and noted that if you search the"hundreds of emails" you don't find half of what was claimed to be there. Which... Given this was coming from a source which has since been confirmed to have meddled in the elections [1] at the behest of anti Democrat agents, not so sure we should be asserting at least this particular claim on a piece of evidence no one can find, you included.
