Who is on today? Big list for a single "lying to the FBI" case…
According to the transcript for the pre-trial hearing yesterday, here is the status of the witness lists. The most interesting one, to me, is Michael Horowitz, who presumably will testify that Rodney Joffe shared a worthwhile tip on the same terms that Sussmann attempted to do with James Baker.

Apple custodian: stipulation
Manos Antonakakis: “Possibly yes” for less than an hour of testimony
