LITERARY SDNY,
June 16 – Kurt Wheelock had
fought against the sealed
courtroom protocols but now
they had arrived.
Thursday morning
before the jury came in, Judge
Furman said that for the
coming witness, most people
would have to leave the
courtroom. Along with
Schulte's mother and father,
there in the second row, there
were two other exception,
initially won before the first
trial's judge, Paul Crotty.
And Kurt would be one of them.
Schulte said he had 45 minutes
of cross examination left. But
it went longer, with Schulte
asking FBI agent Evanchec if
his Google Searches - which he
pointed out include Google
News alert auto notifications
- might not have been tied to
other Wikileaks news, from the
DNC emails to Guccifer 2.0.
Judge
Furman cut in and asked
Evanchec, Do you know about
Guccifer 2.0? No,
Evanchec said. He also didn't
know how Google News alerts
worked. Schulte make the point
but it was stricken from the
record.
Finally at
12:20 pm it began. Kurt was
told, Get out of the hallway
(so that the CIA witness could
enter unseen). But then he was
allowed in.
"What paper are you with?" he
was asked. "Inner
City Press," he said. "And
it's not on
paper."
The CIA
witness, who it's fair to say
was short, came in front the
front door. Not the holding
cell, nor the judges'
elevator. Maybe he'd been
driven in through the basement
garage. Kurt couldn't be in
two places at once.
He
said his name, in open court:
Anthony Leonis. He had been
Schulte's supervisor. And he'd
quickly concluded that Schulte
couldn't be trust. They moved
his cubicle, then his unit,
then took away his access to
OSB Libraries.
This
one, Schulte had reversed
through Atlassian. That sent
off alarm bells, and the whole
library was taken away to a
third party administrator But
it was announced not by the
new outside administrator but
rather one of Schulte's
colleagues.
In the emails
were Jeremy, Sean, Richard,
Debra, Bonnie B. Smith, Frank
Stedman, Leonard Small and
Patrick Schaffer. More on
