@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData Witness is Mark Bradley of National Archives. Wondering what Sabrina Shroff or his colleague(s) will do with him on cross-examination. Thread will continue.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData Bradley of National Archives: I know the Brennan Center publishes reports, that sometimes deal with classification. But I did not read this report.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData Bradley: When I was on the Hill with Senator Moynihan, I worked with him --
Shroff: Were you aware that former CIA Director Goss said there was a lot of gratuitous classification?

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData Bradley of National Archives: Nothing to do with my responsibilities.
Judge Crotty (to Ms. Shroff): He doesn't know.
Shroff: What about over-classifying?
Bradley: We do audits. I try to keep up... I don't read Vice News. I read the newspapers.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData Shroff: Do you know what a FOIA request is?
Bradley: Yes ma'am I do. A citizen of the US can request information. There are nine exemptions.
Shroff: Have you heard of Mr Jason Leopold of BuzzFeed News?
Bradley: I don't know where he works.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData Shroff: Did you know that the CIA had to declassify a Russian recipe for borscht?
Bradley of National Archives: I'm not aware of that.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData Next US witness is CIA Security, being asked about Joshua Schulte not getting outside interaction authorization for going to local court about alleged harassment by Amol.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData AUSA: Do you remember when Mr. Schulte said, There definitely needs to be some punishment for my management?
Witness: I do.
AUSA: And what did you think of it?
Witness: It was surprise. I would have thought his focus would be on his personal safety.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData AUSA: Did there come a time when you interviewed the defendant again?
Witness: Yes, later in the summer, after I had interviewed Amol.
AUSA: Let's play government exhibit 509.
[Inner City Press aim to get & upload exhibit(s)

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @_cryptome_ @EspionageNews @CyberScoopNews @KharonData AUSA Denton: And what did the defendant do when he got his access back to Brutal Kangaroo?
Witness: He removed others from access... It was a red flag. It's just a bad security practice.
