In CIA Leaks Trial Schulte Grills Carlos on Phones for Him & Omar Amanat, Blogger Notes

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
Books - Guardian - Honduras - ESPN NY Mag

LITERARY SDNY, June 30 –  For the CIA witnesses, even just the paper-pushers, the courtroom was sealed in the Joshua Schulte trial.

But when Carlos Betances from the Dominican Republic by way of the MCC was the witness, the courtroom was re-opened. Not that many people went.

  Kurt was there as Betances on direct said that he lived in Rockland County. Why then was he in a prison uniform?

He described getting phones for not only Schulte but also Omar Anamat, scammer and first cousin of Huma Abadeen. The political echoes were everywhere, Kurt thought. At least Maurene Comey wasn't prosecuting this case.

  Betances was being held, and not deported, to squeeze everything they could out of him as a cooperator.

Now that two jurors had been knocked out of the Schulte case due to COVID, the possibility of a second mistrial this time on virus grounds arose. Would they keep Carlos on ice for a third trial? The US would never let Schulte go.   

Meanwhile Reality Winner, who pleaded guilty to leaking NSA intelligence about Russian interference in election, was asking the Administration for a pardon.

If convicted on the CIA counts, or even now with only lying to the FBI and the pending sex charges, Schulte would never get a pardon. They'd left him no option. He pressed forward with cross examination, in an emptying courthouse with a shrinking jury. And the blogger would remains. More on Patreon here.
