Exactly - I think the point the witness & US which prepped him were trying to make to the jury is that other CIA employees returned over such automatic cover pages, to follow the rules, while Schulte dropped F-bombs and leaked.

Glad the thread is of interest - given the US Attorney's still semi successful bid to seal the courtroom for this, had to make three filings opposing sealing and righting for the right to report: https://twitter.com/big_cases/status/1221840965327032323?s=19 …https://twitter.com/NewYearsDani/status/1225105326967599104 …

Coming to #SDNY Magistrates Court on 5th floor, saw family members of a defendant ordered to leave hallway. So they wouldn't see CIA witnesses against Schulte? Inner City Press was asked, at Mag Court door, Do you have any business here? Well, yes... Stories soon

Agent 1: Then Josh claimed he had been insulted and threatened, with comments like "I want to piss on your grave" and "I hope you die in a fiery crash."

Agent 1: Josh would call Crew Chief Karen a "dumb b*tch." AUSA: How would he respond? Agent 1: He would acknowledge my viewpoint but not necessarily change his actions.

AUSA: Was there a meeting about this? Agent 1: Yes, in April 2016. AUSA: Did the defendant participate? Agent 1: Yes. AUSA: Was he invited? Agent 1: No. He said, F*ck you I'm going anyway."

Agent 1: "Drifting Deadline" was aptly named, it kept getting postponed... Josh was offended we were hiring an outside firm, that it showed a lack of confidence in him. He thought the contractor would take his work and sell it back to US.

AUSA: Are you sure the defendant never made any complaint about the security of this network? Schulte's lawyer Shroff: Objection! Judge Crotty: Overruled. Agent 1: If Josh had made a complaint, I would have known about it.

Every woman a Jackie, windowdressing on 5th, sipping cocktails on the Vineyard, as spool unrolled, party swung late into night, till morning, a new day in America. Except the sun never rose, bc the film burned in the reel. The production team went indie, underground, undeterred.

AUSA: How was access controlled? Agent 1: Through Microsoft Active Directory. AUSA: How many overseas CIA offices had access? Agent 1: Two. AUSA: I'm going to refer to them as Foreign Office East, and Foreign Office West.

AUSA: At CCI, how did you get in? Agent 1: Turnstiles. You would need to badge in, tap you badge against a receiver and put in a private code. The other entrance had armed guards. AUSA: Could you hop over? Agent 1: I wouldn't recommend it.

AUSA: Were there any restrictions on what you could bring in? Agent 1: No personal electronics or cell phones. AUSA: Why not? Agent 1: They would introduce a risk to the classified information stored there.

AUSA: Are you familiar with the term Gold Source Copies? Agent 1: Yes. But I didn't have access to that folder. AUSA: How much did have access? Agent 1: About 100.

AUSA: What is tradecraft? Agent 1: Lessons learned. The training to turn you from a college software developer to a CIA staffer. AUSA: How do you recognize this source code? Agent 1: It's C++, any developer would recognize it.

Agent 1: As soon as I realized, I took the cover page back in. They told me to never do it again. AUSA: Do you recognize this email? Who sent it? Agent 1: Joshua Schulte. AUSA: Who did he send it to? Agent 1: Rufus, cc-ing me and Sean.

AUSA: Were you allowed to take classified information out of that building. Agent 1: No. Unless you got specific authorization. And you could never take it home. Once I printed off my tax documents at work, and I brought the cover page home. It said "Classified."

AUSA: Where were the SCIFs? Agent 1: They were separate rooms you would badge into. AUSA: Your Honor, I'm going to read a stipulation... This is a floor plan of the CCI... the employee's CIA bio... A letter of warning... His complaint to EEOC...

AUSA: How did you get Top Secret clearance? Agent 1: A background investigation. AUSA: Did you take an oath? Agent 1: Yes, on the seal in the front lobby. "It has a significant amount of significance."

AUSA: You've been at CIA 10 years? Agent 1: correct. AUSA: What are the security clearance levels? Agent 1: Confidential, Secret and Top Secret. Measured by damage that could be caused to US government. Top is "Grave Damage."

Agent 1: It took us a week to go through the initial Wikileaks disclosure. AUSA: What effect did it have? Agent 1: We were shut down for a significant amount of time. We had to re-create a significant number of capabilities
