LITERARY EDNY, Oct 4 – The Tom Barrack trial was just starting on EDNY's 8th floor when Kurt Wheelock got there.  FBI Special Agent Liz Sidaros was back on the stand, eyeglasses off, for cross examination.

First question: what is a social media platform? She laughed.

  There followed a series on Rashid Al Malik's Instagram, with the Orange Man, and with Barrack in Abu Dhabi by a fountain. Graduation from Pepperdine. Disaros was asked, Why do people post things?

  I'm not in their minds, she answered.

  Right at 10 am, Kurt went down to the Clerk's office. The guy behind the counter finally came to the window. When I saw you, he said, I called upstairs. He paused. You might want to. Call up there.

   Kurt went to the candy stand by the metal detectors, which the sign called a coffee shop, and got a dollar of quarters. From the payphone on the second floor, to the side of the Arraignments Court.

The answer was, I don't see anything that would change my mind. But I'm willing to hear you out, if you're in the building. If so, could up to the fifth floor.

    Kurt was, in the building. And he would, go up to the fifth floor. More on Patreon here
