architectural firm during high school college and shortly after receiving his finance degree Brian Jessen became interested in the financial side of projects including residential new construction and renovation projects “Seeing how excited people were for their new dream home which is when I gravitated toward private banking and residential mortgage lending,” he says Jessen is a senior vice president and senior lender at Wintrust Mortgage Corporation which he describes as a company with a national reach but a local he specializes in jumbo mortgage loans for primary and second homes residential construction and renovation projects mortgages to medical professionals and portfolio lending With a solid team of experienced sales assistants and processing staff members to support him Jessen is business-driven but balances his lofty expectations with caring “My team and I provide honest advice and counsel,” he insists “We are good listeners and problem-solvers with a straightforward process and a specific plan of action We will always do whatever is best for the client which can mean sometimes that not getting a mortgage or borrowing against other assets is actually better for the client.” Recognized for his excellence in the industry Jessen has been a recipient of the Five Star Professional Award for over a decade He was also voted 2023 Mortgage Loan Officer of the Year by Chicago Agent Magazine and the Illinois Mortgage Bankers Association With a client satisfaction score (NPS) of 98% He is an affiliate member of the North Shore-Barrington

that trains and places former military personnel into high school and college coaching careers which provides no-cost support to children and adults with Down’s Syndrome Jessen is proud of getting his children through college and their master’s programs without incurring school debt and reading books and stories about interesting people giving back to their communities Reproduction in whole or in part without permission is prohibited Editor's Note: This story was supported by the Pulitzer Center Bruce Jessen – who helped design the CIA's interrogation techniques used on terrorism suspects captured after the Sept 11 attacks – testified this week that waterboarding the accused plot mastermind took “a great toll” both on himself and the detainee “I felt it was something that had to be done,” Jessen told prosecutor Jeffrey Groharing “But I didn’t like doing it.” Waterboarding is “a nasty thing,” Jessen said acknowledging he used it aggressively on Mohammad shortly after his capture in March 2003 to elicit intelligence about possible future attacks The former CIA contract psychologist testified that he and Mohammad eventually developed a relationship of trust once Mohammad began to cooperate and was transferred out of the so-called “enhanced interrogation” sessions and into conversational debriefings with CIA analysts was completely cut off from the outside world He became emotional when Jessen gave him an update about his youngest child “Even in the most austere and unpleasant circumstances Groharing questioned Jessen from the court’s remote hearing room in Virginia; they appeared in the Guantanamo Bay court on a large screen hung above the witness box The testimony came during an unusual evening session on Thursday – lasting from 5 p.m – following four days of direct examination by the defense teams for Mohammad and his three alleged co-conspirators Mohammad attended court for most of the week sitting at the first defense table with members of his team The defense lawyers who questioned Jessen did so from Guantanamo Bay Picking up the pace of the long-running suppression hearing has become a matter of urgency for the Judge On Wednesday evening, Jessen told the judge that he did not want to miss his Saturday flight for a long-planned trip that he and the witness were on “the same page.” Even before the hearing began McCall told the parties to be prepared to work late hours to fit the six planned witnesses into the four-week session Jessen’s testimony had been postponed from an earlier session for unspecified health issues The defense teams want McCall to suppress those confessions on the grounds that the brutality and isolation imposed by the CIA program had devastating and lasting effects rendering all subsequent statements involuntary Groharing elicited testimony from Jessen to counter that argument Jessen said that the fear instilled by the condensed periods of harsh interrogation techniques would have dissipated during the much lengthier debriefing phases of CIA custody The CIA program did not destroy the defendants’ “will to resist” nor their ability to voluntarily participate in interviews with U.S The government has the burden to establish the statements given to the FBI on Guantanamo Bay in early 2007 were made voluntarily prosecutors plan to call their final witness at the five-week session scheduled to begin in mid-September McCall intends to hear oral arguments on whether to suppress the statements in November – a schedule that could queue up a ruling by year’s end said at the last hearing that he may be open to another extension despite his preference to avoid one McCall also recently set the court calendar for next year Absent any plea deals – which defense lawyers and prosecutors have said remain a possibility – the parties will spend close to half of 2025 in court to continue the pretrial litigation A trial date is still not set in the case.  testifying that it was inconsistent with decades of research on the effects of severe trauma on the human brain.  Jessen was on the stand for less than a full day in January 2020 His testimony this week on the CIA program echoed much of Mitchell's accounts Jessen testified that the “enhanced interrogation techniques” or “EITs’” developed by him and Mitchell – including sleep deprivation slapping and use of confinement boxes – were determined to be safe and legal by senior members of the Bush administration He and Mitchell based the techniques on those used on trainees in the military’s survival school Jessen testified the program's goal was to use the techniques for a brief period to convince detainees to cooperate with intelligence debriefings at which point their conditions and treatment would improve CIA personnel entered into “a social contract” with detainees that gave them a degree of “control and predictability” over their treatment through cooperation He added that his role during this phase was to be an “advocate” for detainees by helping them secure certain amenities and maintaining constructive relationships with debriefers at the various black sites He acknowledged that the detainees were intermittently reminded that unsatisfactory participation could send them back to “the hard times” of enhanced measures Jessen also acknowledged that CIA interrogators applied the enhanced techniques far more aggressively than SERE instructors referred Jessen to a CIA cable describing an interrogation of Mohammad that followed a full week of sleep deprivation He said he was unaware of any empirical studies concluding that a more extreme application of SERE techniques was safe Jessen testified that some CIA interrogators used unauthorized techniques on detainees An interrogation team led by a CIA officer known in court by his code identifier “NX2,” subjected Mohammad to rectal rehydration prior to his transfer to the black site where he first met Jessen and Mitchell Sowards asked Jessen if “forcible sodomy” was an approved technique “Of course not,” Jessen answered Jessen described Mohammad as both intelligent and resilient noting that he withstood enhanced techniques longer than most detainees Mohammad wrote him a poem that was unrelated to any topics covered in interrogations or debriefings “It was a personal thing,” Jessen said Sowards asked Jessen to demonstrate the technique of walling on Nicholas McCue a civilian lawyer on Mohammad’s team who was in the remote facility Jessen took off his suit jacket and walked from the witness box to a column behind the podium where McCue wore a purple ski mask as a hood Jessen used a rolled-up towel wrapped with duct tape and placed it around the back of McCue’s neck He lifted the hood and came within inches of McCue’s face as he gripped both ends of the towel He would typically pause in this position to instill more anxiety in the detainee Jessen did not push McCue against the wall neck and head should hit the wall at the same time to lessen the impact on the head and brain “You don’t want the head flopping around,” he said The judge in that case suppressed al Nashiri’s confessions to the FBI in early 2007 concluding that his prior torture by the CIA made his participation in the interviews involuntary A prosecution appeal of that ruling is pending before the military commission’s appellate court Jessen had comparably less interaction with the other 9/11 defendants as well as Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al Hawsawi Jessen told the lawyers for each of those teams that he did not personally subject their clients to any enhanced techniques he met with the detainees in what he described as “maintenance visits” to hear their concerns and check in on their relationships with debriefers Jessen acknowledged that the lawyers would be better off talking to actual witnesses to their interrogations than to him the government prohibited defense teams from independently attempting to contact CIA witnesses who might have knowledge of the black site program McCall will factor that and other restrictions imposed on the defense teams when ruling on whether to admit or suppress the FBI statements He also could issue another sanction against the government Prosecutors have long contended that the investigative restrictions related to the CIA program are necessary to protect current and former covert operatives In his exchanges with both Groharing and Sowards Jessen recalled receiving a credible threat from ISIS that forced him and his daughter’s family – who was living with him at the time – to leave their home with just a 15-minute warning appeared irritated on Friday morning when McCall ordered him to answer additional questions from Sowards about other threats he and his family have received over the years Jessen finished his testimony before the lunch break on Friday McCall contemplated hearing oral arguments on pending legal motions before breaking for the day and allowing the teams to prepare
