the defense lawyer down to a toothpick here. he's saying, hey, this was her stuff the government seized. we should be able to do whatever we want with it. you can't stop us from giving it to the press. the judge says, seriously, it's evidence in a criminal trial and if what is seized from her is relevant to other ongoing open investigations, then of course, you can't do anything you want with it. on that last point of the transcript how his client has already been questioned by other parts of the government he raises congressional investigations and stuff, that actually ends up being important, too. we'll come back to ha in a second. there's one last thing you should see from the hearing today. i mentioned there was a discussion about sex related allegations. this is that part. it does not go well for the defense lawyer. remember where this came from. last week, the prosecutors laid out a case for the judge maria butina shouldn't be released on bail. they were arguing she's a flight risk and might go back to russia.
