LITERARY SDNY,
June 17 – Josh Schulte had
landed a few blows on FBI
agent Evanchec. But how would
he do against his former
supervisor at the CIA, Anthony
Leonis?
It
started well enough, with
Schulte showing the Leonis had
never managed people before he
worked at the CIA. (Judge
Furman did not allow him to
ask where it was that Leonis
had worked). But the things go
too personal, or surreal.
Schulte asked,
You never spoke with me before
you wrote me up,
right?
We planned to
speak with you, Leonis said
calmly. He had prepared for
this. But your
memo was already written,
Schulte
demanded.
There was no memo, Leonis
said.
Schulte
looked at the jury and back.
"No memo?"
Leonis smirked.
"It was a memorandum," he
said.
Kurt
Wheelock thought, this can't
be helping the prosecution
with the jury. But soon
Schulte was getting half of
his questioned objected to,
and Judge Furman was
sustaining the
objections.
The US
objected to Schulte saying
"Foreign Office West," and
revealing a location. There
had been two overseas offices
connected to the supposed
Local access network,
DEVLAN.
"Move it along,
Mr. Schulte," the judge said.
The CIA wanted to get Leonis
out of town by
nightfall. And
they did, and even put a
Microsoft expert, then at
MITRE, on the stand.
It would be long
weekend for Schulte in the
MDC.
And Wheelock
vowed he would try to learn
more about the roots of all
this leaking, before
considering his own. More on
