“Well (”begging the court’s indulgence”), the document the gov was looking for was the indictment, not an exhibit…just thought they should probably know what is included in that one…you don’t agree?”

They were looking for the indictment because they were arguing over the introduction of an exhibit.

BTW, it’s nice to see a member of the defense team posting on my blog. Welcome to thesnipestrial.com !

What is with the term ‘tax denier.’

See this article here.

The Tax Division’s own manual’s chapter is titled ‘Tax Protesters’

Just because the government mislabels a group doesn’t make it right…

I know David Kay at NYT is not using Tax denier as well.

You know no such thing. First of all his name is David Cay Johnston, and furthermore, he uses the phrase on a regular basis. See partial list below:

That’s the best you’ve got? After a horrible day of testimony for the defendant, a conversation over the introduction of the use of an exhibit that didn’t occur in front of the jury???

Dang, you might as well comment that the defense team has prettier laptops (Apples) than the prosecutors (NECs).
