LITERARY SDNY, June 29 – The CIA witness they called Jeremy Weber was in the witness box in the semi sealed courtroom. Kurt Wheelock, delayed by NYC's broken subway system, ran up to the overflow courtroom where the trial was being shown on a screen.
There was no one else there but for a Court Security Officer. Another had asked, Why aren't you covering Maxwell? Or, only covering Maxwell?
Later, back in the courtroom, Kurt saw that in the second row were Schulte's parents and a younger man, maybe a brother. (This was later confirmed to him: a brother).
"How much more cross do you have?" Judge Furman asked Schulte.
"Maybe ten more pages," Schulte replied.
"How many pages have you gone through so far?" the judge asked.
Schulte flipped through his binder, that he carried with him up to the ninth floor SCIF, and apparently in the van back to the MDC in Brooklyn, where he said he'd wait for hours to get readmitted. The most exclusive ticket in town. "Fifty," he finally said. "So I'm five-sixths through."
"Good," Judge Furman said. "We're going to need to streamline things."
It was all being streamlined. There was almost nobody here. Why? More on Patreon here.
