2 THE COURT: All you're doing at this point is asking
3 him to look at the exhibit and read from it. It's not in
4 evidence. He didn't seem to have a basis that he recalled, as
5 far as I can tell for why he thinks it's a different version.
6 So I'm not going to permit him to read from the document.
7 MS. COMEY: Yes, your Honor. All I was going to say
8 is his view of that is based on his observation of the exhibit.
9 I did not intend him to have him read the document not in
10 evidence. My question is based on his observations of this
11 exhibit. What makes him believe that it's a later version and
12 the contents of this exhibit is part of how he forms that
13 answer.
14 THE COURT: The content, other than the date or
15 anything else?
16 MS. COMEY: I think at this point it's the fact that

22 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think his basis would be --
23 THE COURT: I know what you think his basis --
24 MS. COMEY: I just don't want to -- I apologize, your
25 Honor. I just don't want to elicit something that your Honor
