that we would like them to do in advance of the indictment (namely, interview victims in Australia and New
York), but, given everyone's tight budgets, management doesn't want to spend that kind of money unless they
know that we will indict. You can see the circular reasoning here. The FBI is still very anxious to proceed with
this case, and I wondered whether having an FBI presence at the meeting with the defense would be helpful (the
SAC here attended the last big meeting with defense counsel).
Lastly, the delay is becoming unbearable for the investigators and for me.
and I first met with the defense
attorneys almost a year ago (on February 1st and 20th). The indictment package was presented to Miami on May
1st. The non-prosecution agreement was signed on September 24, 2007. Epstein was supposed to begin serving
his state sentence not later than January 4th of this year. I am concerned that Epstein will work out some slap on
the wrist deal with the State (even weaker than the deal they already worked out), and Epstein will enter a guilty
plea so he really can claim that there is a Petite policy violation (even though the State's charges relate only to 3
girls, not all of the girls that are part of our case).
I would appreciate any guidance that you can give. If there is any information that I can provide, I am more than
willing to put together whatever you or
might need.
Thank you so much.

Hi guys — I haven't forgotten about you, but life has been crazy. I am hoping that we can talk later this afternoon about
your interviews and other things. You may be receiving a call from Jeff Herman, who is a lawyer hired by
dad.
Please do not talk to him and somehow document that you did not speak with him or answer his questions. I will fill you
in when we talk.

Hi
— I have one more book of 302s that wouldn't fit into the bag that I gave you on Friday. Please let me
know if you would like me to send it or if you want to wait until you return next week. Except for a lunchtime
dental appointment on Tuesday the 22"d, I will be around all week, and I will keep my schedule open as much as
possible. During the week of the 28th, I have a suppression hearing on the morning of 1/30, but I am otherwise
around.
I have cc'd
and
on this e-mail so you will have their e-maiUBlackberry addresses.
I will ask them to talk with all of the girls and to do more in-depth interviews with those victims for whom they
only did short interviews before and to update the evidence summary chart for all of the victims. Speaking with
in Australia and the girls in New York are the next priorities. We also need to "audit" the grand jury
responses to see what it missing.
I will start working on revising the indictment taking into account your suggestions and
suggestions. I also want to do an application to get the tax returns for all of the defendants, since Epstein's
corporations have refused to obey the grand jury subpoenas.
Is there anything else that I should or should not be doing?
Thank you, and it was so nice to meet you in person on Friday.

Hi Lanna —
I can put something together. I assume something short and sweet? And has a date been set?

Marie,
Could you please outline what factual basis you think fits the procuring statute for the plea conference. I am trying to
finalize the paperwork.
