New Book Exposes Sealed Trial of Josh Schulte Convicted of Wikileaks Vault7, Brutal Kangaroo

Review, Patreon Maxwell Book Schulte Book
Books - Guardian - Honduras - NY Mag

LITERARY SDNY Review, July 14 – In June and July 2022 former CIA hacker Joshua Schulte was put on trial in a nearly empty and partiallly sealed courtroom in lower Manhattan.

  Alongside an extradition fight in the UK concerning Julian Assange of Wikileaks, to which Schulte was charged and now convicted of exfiltrating the CIA's cyber tools such as "Brutal Kangaroo," there was little media coverage of Schulte's trial.

   Now there is a book

    The author was in the courtroom each day, even during the sealed witnesses as one of the two pool reporters provided for after his advocacy before Judges Paul A. Crotty and then Jesse M. Furman of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. 

   As the trial wound down, SDNY-admitted lawyer Matthew Russell Lee won an order unsealing portions of Schulte's civil case challenging his conditions of confinement including a prohibition against any communications with any media, imposed by former US Attorney General Jeff Session but continued by current AG Merrick Garland.  

   Material from that unsealing, the trial and even some more speculative and literary excursions featuring recurring characters Kurt Wheelock and Michael Randall Long, featured in the Ghislaine Maxwell book "Maximum Maxwell" as noted by New York Magazine, here, made its way at the speed of the Internet into the new book

"Brutal Kangaroo: WikiLeaks Verdict Against Josh Schulte, and Other Whistleblowers: Convicted of sending the CIA's Vault 7 cyber tools to Wikileaks, Schulte remains in jail under DOJ SAMs," by Matthew Russell Lee. 

  U.S. e-book here, UK here, Australia here; paperbook forthcoming here. 

    This review will leave it to other to find over-reaches and typos. For his reporting, Lee was banned from the United Nations in 2018 by SG Antonio Guterres, whose Media Accrediation chief Melissa Fleming has ignored appeals from a UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and, pro bono, the law firm of Quinn Emanuel.

   One might surmise that history leads to some of the book's (over?) identification with the defendant.  

    A full scope instantaneous view of and taking off from trials like US v. Joshua Schulte seems to be Inner City Press' project here.

And here it is.
