Samsel: I was in the Einstein Medical I.C.U. for 11 days

Samsel: I know this is the government trying to torture me and make me collaborate. Kiss my ass -- they are the terrorists!

OK - now US v. Joshua Schulte, Day 2. FBI Agent Evancech still the witness, awaiting Schulte's pro se cross examination. Inner City Press is covering the trial (filings leagle.com/decision/infdc… & more patreon.com/posts/67792346) and will live tweet, thread below
Trial day was to have started at 9 am. But stand by counsel just said, I need to speak with Mr. Schulte, he still hasn't seen the 3500 material you just gave us.
That is, new discovery provided on the morning of Day 2. Judge Furman not yet on the bench.
More issues raised before judge or jury come in: Schulte would like a longer (45 minutes) lunch break so he can stay in the courtroom and review documents with stand by counsel. Also, he might get a 2d computer, from Federal Defenders.

OK - now US v. Schulte / #Vault7 CIA leaks trial, opening arguments.
Judge Furman: Are you ready, Mr. Schulte?
Schulte: Yes.
Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Judge Furman: If folks in the back could clear away from the doors, the jury will be entering in a moment... Ok, Mr. Denton.
AUSA Denton: Joshua Schulte is responsible for the largest leak in CIA history, and put officers at risk. When confronted, he lied.
AUSA Denton: He stole custom-built software used to track terorrists. Those filed were posted on Wikileaks. It was devastating. Operations came to a crashing halt. Allies wondered if their info could be leaked. The FBI sprang into action
