From: To: ' Cc: '' Subject: Letter from Paul Cassell re Epstein Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:06:06 +0000 Importance: Normal Attachments: al fredo-assert-rights-lettendocx Hi a Here is the letter I received from Paul Cassell yesterday. I have already talked to him about it, and he is as intractable as always. He wants us [or the FBI, I guess] to waive its statutory protections and just turn over the "Black Book" to his clients. I explained that, in my opinion, his clients are not victims of the crime that I am investigation, which is obstruction of the federal criminal investigation, not disobeying a civil subpoena, which wasn't even served by Cassell or Edwards. Victims don't have a right to get copies of discovery. More importantly, my bigger concern is that I don't feel comfortable turning over names and telephone numbers of potential child sexual abuse victims. I explained to Cassell that I spent most of Sunday researching Florida's rape shield laws and I don't think I can turn over the book in accordance with that law. (This is the same concern that the FPD's office has, and it is why they have refused to take copies of the discovery.) Cassell's stock response is that the government's obligation is to put the victims where they would have been if the crime hadn't taken place, and if the butler hadn't obstructed justice by disobeying the civil subpoena, they already would have had a copy of the book. I said that was a non-starter for me because if the butler hadn't obstructed the criminal investigation, WE would have already had the book, and the victims would not have had access to it without going through the hoops of issuing a subpoena to a federal agency. I also told him that, since the butler stole the book from Epstein, taking Cassell's approach, we would have to name Epstein as a victim of the crime, too. In the end, I think this will have to be litigated, but we should discuss the best way for that to happen. Thanks. Assistant U.S. Attorney 500 E.

From: To: "Paul Cassell" Cc: ' "Brad Edwards" Subject: : ovemments osition on Several Pending Issues? Still Waiting for Answer Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2011 16:56:28 +0000 Importance: Normal Paul, 1. Yesterday, I provided you with the name and phone number for OPR Acting Associate Counsel, who received your December 10, 2010 letter to Mr. Ferrer, asking for an investigation of the Jeffrey Epstein prosecution. 2. The government will not be making initial disclosures to plaintiffs, because we do not believe Fed.R.Civ.P. 26 applies to this matter. 3. The CVRA applies to the criminal case which has been filed in district court, where an individual is deemed to be a "victim," not any civil litigation which may be initiated to enforce those claimed rights. We do not believe there is any right to discovery in this case. Moreover, we do not believe that whatever Kenneth Starr or Lilly Ann Sanchez may have said to this office, or what this office said to Kenneth Starr or Lilly Ann S

Alleged criminal extortion plot discussed during Alan Dershowitz's 2015 Broward County deposition

Alleged criminal extortion plot discussed during Alan Dershowitz's 2015 Broward County deposition The passage references a claim that Alan Dershowitz disclosed a criminal extortion scheme involving unnamed clients during a deposition, and mentions related defamation lawsuits. While the details are vague and unverified, the involvement of a high‑profile attorney and a federal courtroom provides a concrete lead (date, location, parties) that could be pursued. The claim is moderately controversial and potentially sensitive, but it lacks clear novelty and specific financial details, limiting its score. Key insights: Dershowitz allegedly told lawyers Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell that "your clients were involved" in a criminal extortion plot.; The statement was made on October 15, 2015, during a deposition in Broward County, Florida.; Bradley and Cassell had sued Dershowitz for defamation, and Dershowitz had filed a countersuit.
