'You try to throw me under the bus, watch what happens': Employee gets his comeuppance when coworker judo flips attempt to discredit him in front of boss

When karma comes in the form of an email, office ears light up everywhere, as we all know what it feels like when you have solid, indisputable hard facts in the form of a digital piece of paper. An entitled employee was attempting to throw his coworker (OP) under the bus, emailing him about a contract that hadn't gotten out to a customer, and was way overdue. 6 months overdue, in fact. The entitled employee in question was an account manager, and OP worked in the contracting department. When OP opened said email, he realized quickly that his coworker was trying to throw him under the bus, as he had CC'd his own boss and OP's direct supervisors.

Nervous, OP dug through his old emails to see if he could find any relevant information about the case, and landed on some gold. He promptly emailed his coworker back, CC'ing everyone that was previously added. After all, his coworker was 'oh too ready' to involve everyone, right? So he was only helping him have it his way.
