The defense team asked for restrictions on prosecutor questions to Sussmann if he took the stand. Unclear what if anything the judge granted (all is kept under seal). He must have decided it was too risky to open himself up to Durham's questions. So we're looking at closing arguments next -- with the Jury likely getting the case later this afternoon. Buckle up! Update: Judge wants to shutdown the case to go on VACAY by 2:30 PM Friday. Defense wants the Jury to get the case on Tuesday after the holiday. Looks like the defense will get their way..... Update #2 Defense unexpectedly rests. The prosecution offers no rebuttal. Jury instructions being debated now (for next hour)
