Safavian Trial, Day 2: Still BoringI checked in with colleagues who are covering the day-to-day of the David Safavian trial, and they largely concurred that day two was uneventful. “They read emails all day,” one told me, referring to the notes between Jack Abramoff and Safavian that prosecutors released to the media many days ago.
I stopped by the courthouse this morning for the opening of the day’s events; the courtroom gallery was mostly empty — maybe half a dozen reporters, and a few more observers.
The hard-core crew seem to have their fingers crossed that the testimony of Neil Volz, the former Ney staffer and Abramoff colleague who’s cooperating with prosecutors, will provide some fireworks. He may take the stand later this morning, I’m told, although smart money seems to be on him being called after lunch.
