1 defendant, the less important it becomes to identify and

4 if the court -- and we have suggested them, but they may be
5 modified by the court -- can put in place stringent bail
6 conditions, we don't need to have a side-long, month-long
7 hearing about my client's assets which is just designed to keep
8 her in detention. That was an observation by Judge Raggi in
9 Sabhnani.
10 Judge, very quickly on the nature and circumstances of
11 the offense and the weight of the evidence, we don't think,
12 your Honor, this is the place to litigate legal motions. This
13 is a bail hearing. It is not the place to litigate complex
14 legal questions that we will be presenting to your Honor. It's
15 very soon on the motion schedule, and we thank the court for
16 agreeing to the schedule. But there are a few things that are
17 worth pointing out.
18 We believe there are very significant motions here
19 that will affect whether this indictment survives at all or the
20 shape of this indictment and, given the government's
21 representation that it is not planning to supersede, will
22 affect the shape of the entire case, or any case at all that
23 proceeds before the court at trial, if there is a trial. That
24 is exactly what we submit the court can consider, again, in
25 exercising its discretion as to the weight of the evidence.
