Members of #Sussmann's nine-member legal team and several of Special Prosecutor John #Durham's five attorneys are sorting through documents, presumably answered questionnaires from the remaining 38 juror candidates.
Judge Cooper said he calls this part of jury selection "musical chairs" as jurors are struck and/or selected which, for some reason, requires them to change seats. Prosecutors have just asked for more time in presenting their "wish list" of jurors
.
Hard to say who is in and who is out. Juror candidates, all identified by number, are being asked to stand or sit when their number is called ... about 10 standing as attorneys confer.
#Durham's team and #Sussmann's attorneys have agreed on a 12-member jury with four alternates. They are being sworn in now.
Cooper tells the jury: "Picking a jury is more of an art than a science. A lot of work went into this. Go home and get a good night's sleep and be back here at 9 a.m. tomorrow."
Former Perkins Cove attorney and #Clinton Campaign General Counsel Marc Elias and FBI Special Agent David Martin, who leads the agency's Cyber Technical Analysis Unit Chief, will be among witnesses testifying Tuesday.

Prosecutor Jonathon Algor questioning Fine, an attorney who now works for the Open Society Institution. She was a deputy campaign counsel. Asked if she could explain the campaign's leadership structure, she said: "No." #SussmannTrial
Algor is asking Fine about what "opposition research" is. "I conducted research to support the campaign. I am not comfortable discussing what that was used for," Fine said. #SussmannTrial
