Sustained.Proceed, Mr Schiff.
:01:52
when you entered thatSuite 405 of the Holiday lnn.
:01:55
Mr Lombardo was alone inthe room with Richard Colbert,
:01:58
a deputy director of thelnternal Revenue Service,
:02:01
who was kneeling beside a coffee tablecounting out stacks of $100 bills.
:02:04
And will you tell the juryhow you knew of this...
:02:13
Therefore, with probable cause,you applied for a warrant?
:02:15
- Yes, sir.- Which Federal Judge Griffen granted.
:02:19
Thank you. Your witness.
:02:22
Agent Powell, as you know,my client, Ed Lombardo,
:02:25
- is charged with extortion.- Yes, ma'am.
:02:29
Did you observe Richard Colbertwhen he first entered the hotel?
:02:32
- Yes, ma'am.- Was he carrying anything?
:02:38
- No, ma'am.- Why not?
:02:40
We didn't want him to knowthat we were there.
:02:42
So Richard Colbertcould have conceivably brought
the $125,000 in with him.
:02:47
He could or he could not have.
:02:51
Your agency has a well-deservedreputation for thoroughness.
:02:55
Did you also investigateRichard Colbert's background...
:02:58
to ascertain why he might havebeen carrying such a large sum?
