SDNY LES / Italy, March 31 -- As it got to end game in the trial of Larry Ray, the US put into evidence things found on Ray's laptops in New Jersey. Among them were photographs of Claudia Drury, in a garter, taking a selfie, learning over. Ray controlled her, and these hedge funders, Dem diplomats and even a retired judge got over.
Why were they being protected? Next up would be the painter with studios in Italy and on the Lower East Side.
At the same time in the SDNY Magistrates Court with no other media present Bronx alleged gang members were being detained, one after the other.
The only break was a man small enough to be a midget, who the Assistant US Attorney agreed to a package for release for. He was the sole provider for his mother, with dementia. He's have two weeks to find two co-signers on a $75,000 bond.
Kurt was there, and spoke to the CJA lawyer. These were the untold stories of the courthouse, lost in the hype and big money litigation. #JohnListGone names named on Patreon here
[It, like a song about Lev Parnas was also covered, behind a paywall, by New York Magazine which had this to say about Inner City Press' covered in late 2021 of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, book here via one of the companies with an executive on the John list.]
When Inner City Press for investigative reporting was roughed up and thrown out onto First Avenue from covering the United Nations of/by UNSG Antonio Guterres, many did nothing. But as we've previously noted, the First Amendment stops at First Avenue. We'll have more on this, here and on other platforms.
