Freight Broker covering Sullivan release.
Freight Broker: Sullivan had two privately paid for attorneys representing him in Utah.
From Interview of Supervisory Intelligence Analyst, Thursday, October 29, 2020, pages 53-55:
Mr. Baker [senior Investigative Counsel]:
Now, being more specific with Crossfire Hurricane, did you ever become aware of analysts discussing about the possibility of needing insurance, liability insurance, because of being assigned to Crossfire Hurricane?
ANALYST: I think there was some discussion of professional liability insurance with respect to the analysts who were on Crossfire Hurricane.
Mr. Baker.: And what precipitated that discussion?
ANALYST: I think –
Mr. Baker: What was the concern?
ANALYST: Not so much as a concern as it is that this was going to be – this is an investigation that would likely result in extra scrutiny.
Mr. Baker: So did analysts get this insurance or it was sort of ad hoc, piecemeal, some did, some didn't?
ANALYST: I would say that characterization is correct, ad hoc, piecemeal.
Mr. Baker: When you say there was a discussion, was there a gathering together of analysts to discuss the perils of this case and, hence, the possible need for insurance? Or was this, you know, just a small group of people that raised the issue? I'm just curious. What was the forum for the discussion about the potential need for liability insurance?
ANALYST: There was no overarching meeting, to my recollection, bringing the analysts together to talk about the need for professional liability insurance.
Mr. Baker: And, again, the need that was articulated or the need that you understood to be amongst the people that were talking about it was based on a general heightened scrutiny that a case of this nature might get? Or were there specific concerns about the investigation?
ANALYST: I would say the former, a general heightened amount of scrutiny.
Mr. Baker: Did anybody have a specific concern about it?
ANALYST: Not to my recollection, no.
Freight Broker reading from transcript, Sullivan can't leave Utah without permission, must undergo mental evaluation, and has to turn over his passport.
Sullivan is either cooperating, or both the Assistant U.S. Attorney and presiding judge are corrupt.
