judge initially excused him, but then called him back to the witness stand and described videotape evidence shown to the jury that depicted Manselli running for a bus, sitting on a bus for extended periods, and bending over without any indication of pain. The district judge asked whether “with that additional information,” Dr. Leone would “still be of the opinion that [Manselli] was totally disabled.” Leone replied “No.” The question was not leading nor was it phrased in adversarial language. Moreover, this question, the only instance of allegedly improper questioning identified by Manselli, takes up less than one page of the transcript. This is much less frequent and much less substantial than questioning that has been found to violate the fair trial right in the past. See id. at 382 (<HOLDING>); United States v. Guglielmini, 384 F.2d 602,
