Joshua Schulte, suspected CIA leaker, claims he's being tortured awaiting trial
The Washington Times ^ | October 31, 2018 | Andrew Blake

Joshua Schulte, a former CIA computer engineer suspected of leaking classified hacking tools to WikiLeaks, said he is being subjected to “torture” while awaiting trial for espionage.

Mr. Schulte, 30, said he is being inexplicably held in solitary confinement and denied access to his medication, writing materials, legal documents and lawyer, according to a letter addressed to U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty filed in Manhattan federal court Monday.

“My fellow slaves constantly scream, pound and claw at their cages attempting to get attention for basic needs to be fulfilled. I count myself lucky to be able to eat,” he wrote from Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center.

“No human being should ever have to experience this torture,” the former CIA coder continued. “Otto Warmbier received better treatment and more justice in North Korea than I have received in America. Terrorists receive better treatment in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba — I have seen the footage myself.”

Joshua Schulte is being held on possessing, receiving and transporting 'child pornography' charges.....Accused of Housing 10,000 Files of Child Porn on a Server He Created & Maintained...including images and videos. The files were organized into folders with titles like, “kids” and “young” and subfolders like “13yo in bath” and “11yr old.”

He wrote, “Is pornography harmful to society? I believe that pornography is fundamentally protected by the first amendment of the United States constitution, that pornography promotes freedom of speech and liberty, that pornography is not degrading to women, and that it does not incite violence.

Send him to the Ecuadorian Consulate in London. He can share a bed with Julian’s cat.

Yeah I heard the room service sucks also. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Schulte doesn’t like the showers...... says that “shit-stained showers” leave one in a dirtier state than when one entered.”......

I’m also ok with him being sent to North Korea for “better treatment”....

Yep...You’re right on about about solitary, he’s too dumb to realize that’s keeping him alive.

Bubble wrap kid is a good handle for this sicko.

He's just another entitlement whimp who thought he'd be sent to the Hilton......making demands and writing complaints he'll soon find out does just the opposite. He faces up to 135 years in prison if convicted....so he's got a long haul ahead of him. It's not like the guards haven't seen hundreds ahead of him with the same attitude. They must be laughing that here's another one!

They never think they’re going to get caught let alone be in a (jail cell) prison and what that would be like. So they all go in whining about conditions as if the guards and authorities are there to ensure their rights....

He’s in another world now....he’ll not adjust easily.
