We have a podium here for 5 both attorneys and others who may be speaking, and so we would 6 like you, attorneys and others who are speaking, to come up to 7 the podium. This room is a little cavernous. We thought the 8 podium over there would be more comfortable. 9 For starters, and for this you don't have to go up to 10 the podium, if you could just indicate your names. This table 11 in front to my left, your right, are defense counsel, and that 12 table to my right, your left, are government attorneys. 13 fF we could just ask the attorneys to introduce 14 themselves. 15 MS. COMEY: Good morning, your Honor. Maureen Comey 16 and Alison Moe for the government. Joining us at counsel table 17 are Special Agent Amanda Young of the FBI and Detective Paul 18 Byrne of the NYPD. 19 MR. WEINGARTEN: Good morning, your Honor. 20 Reid Weingarten. 21 MR.
