1 individuals. I plan on cross-examining to name individuals
2 that are not going to link up to anybody who needs to be
3 anonymized. The examples we just looked at are perfect
4 examples. I don't see why that's not permissible.
5 THE COURT: I was going to say, this struck me as
6 overly redacted in any number of ways, including from the fact
7 that you read from parts that are redacted. So I recognize
8 it's labor, but this needs to be more narrowly tailored. I
9 don't know why it wouldn't be permissible.
10 MR. EVERDELL: That's my understanding too, your
11 Honor.
12 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, there was no particular reason
13 why I wasn't referencing the names of those other people other
14 than I didn't think that they were relevant to the question I
15 was asking.
16 So I have no objection to Mr. Everdell saying the
17 names of other individuals, except for obviously those who have
18 been granted anonymity by the Court.
19 I also understand the Court's view on narrowly
20 tailoring these redactions. That will be very time-intensive,
21 your Honor. I would ask for permission to do that over the
22 long weekend break that we have coming up.
23 THE COURT: Okay. That's fine. Let's do that.
24 Relatedly, the message pads, I think you only have one
25 or two unredacted exemplars, but most of those -- other than
2 that are not going to link up to anybody who needs to be
3 anonymized. The examples we just looked at are perfect
4 examples. I don't see why that's not permissible.
