On
October 21,
the defense
called as a witness
Brady Cassis,
an
associate at
Paul Hasting
in DC. He was
present and
took laptop
notes at the
June 20, 2019
DOJ interview
of Barrack.
But the US
immediately
opposed admission
of the notes
that he took.
Judge Brian
M. Cogan sent
the jurors to
the jury room
in order to
hear argument.
At 3:10
pm, more of
Cassis' notes
were shown,
about Bannon's
relationship
with MBZ and
"Erik Prince / Blackwater;" and
a flight to
the Middle
East including
"the actor Rob
Lowe." Watch

FARA, full

Analysis:
Because of the
possibility of
(success)
appeal to any
conviction
under Section
951, on
a claim
that the jurors
confused it
with FARA, the
attempt is
made to keep
FARA out of testimony
as much as
possible. But what
about
the jury
instructions?
