I see no need to change grand juries. Indeed, changing grand juries might suggest that something untoward
occurred, which is not the case.
Nor do I see' requirement to give 1404(b) tape instruction. Let's not forget dig the role of the grand is to
investigate, and it is wholly apEropriate that I grand jury in good faith pursued I line of investigation that does
not lead to indictment. That is very different matter from presenting information pursuant to 404(b), to prove
motive, lack of accident, etc.
I share your instinct that just dropping six victims, and the draft proposed indictment, might call for some
explanation, or at least acknowledgement, to the grand jury. It's always dicey, and not really desirable, to
explain and share legal strategies with the grand jury. Perhaps you can simply tell them that the old draft

ifferent set of facts is being pursued, and ask them if they can

The question is now raised as to whether I should continue presenting to Grand Jury', with' 404(b)-type

Grand Jury B, excluding any testimony regarding

is due to expire in August, and I anticipate that the

Question regarding use of Grand Jury

I have been involved in 'long-term investigation of I

have preseled evidence and testimony to Grand Jury
Some of that evidence and testimony related to six
victims (of 'total of 19 victims), including the live testimony of one of those victims. I also began presenting
evidence related to what I called tdraft proposed indictment." For various reasons, the indictment has been
delayed about 9 months. And, for other strategic reasons, we have decided to drop the six victims referenced
above, and replaced them with 'different six victims.
The question is now raised as to whether I should continue presenting to Grand Jury', with' 404(b)-type
instruction related to the evidence of the six dropped victims and some sort ofinstruction regarding the initial

"draft proposed indictment", or whether I should present
Grand Jury B, excluding any testimony regarding
those six victims. One other consideration — Grand Jury

Hi all —I wanted to raise an issue with you regarding the presentation of the Epstein indictment. 1 have been
Il
e West Palm Beach Tuesday grand jury in the past. which has included presentation of testimony from
and agent testimony regarding girls who will no longer be referenced in the indictment.
I have conferred %ith
and
Heck
regarding whether to stay with the same grand
jury or present to Id),
gran jury. They agree that I should present to the same grand jury with some sort
of instruction regarding not relying on evidence/testimony regarding those girls.
That is my intention. I would like to present on March I l a'. Epstein will be in town on March 10'h foliate
court hearing and hopefully we will be able to keep track of his whereabou until the following day.
is
p
reviewing the package now, so it should be in Miami by Monday, March 3"
Also. I invited Myesha to be present for the grand jury proceedings, but she is waitin
a.
about her level of involvement in the case. She is available on that date, so, if
decide
this, she will be able to attend.
Thank you.

Hi Myesha — I won't even tell you about how today is starting off badly on this case (politics, of course, not
facts). But, in any event, the word is that CEOS is going to undertake an "independent review" of the case and
I
meet with Epstein's attorneys some time next week. My supervisor is finishing t
review of the indictment
package and I know she caught some typos. Wls.i I finish those revisions, I will mail to you the entire
indictment package, and you can find out what =
wants to look at. I have one real concern, however. As
you know, there are several girls that are still unknown to the defense. I want to avoid trait possibility that those
names might be disclosed. Should 1 redact the names of all of the girls from the pros memos that I send to you?
Thank you. Myesha.

Cc: Oosterbaan, Andrew
Jay,
The Section Chief of DOJ's Child Exploitation Obscenity Section (CEOS) notified me today that
he will review the matter involving your client Jeffrey Epstein. The Section Chief has indicated
that he is ready to proceed immediately, and I understand you are in the process of providing
him this week with' summary of issues to be reviewed, and expect to meet with him next
week.
The Section Chief also indicated that you would be calling this Office regarding the upcoming
March 3, 2008 court date in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, in and for Palm Beach County. As you
know, the Agreement entered into by your client originally provided that the United States
1522
08-80736-CV-MARRA
1-014630
EFTA00223774
Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida (this Office) would defer prosecution if
your client pled guilty to enumerated state charges by October 26, 2007. Since then, that date
has been postponed for' number of reasons. At this juncture, it would not be reasonable to
keep the current March 3ldate as I deadline for compliance with the Agreement. That said,
this Office is very concerned about additional delays. Despite this concern, I want to assure
you that if counsel for Mr. Epstein meets with CEOS next week (the week of March 3$, this
Office will extend the time for compliance with the Agreement to provide CEOS time to
engage in' thorough review.
It goes without saying that in the event that CEOS decides that' federal prosecution should
not be undertaken against Mr. Epstein, this Office will close its investigation. However, should
CEOS disagree with Mr. Epstein's position, Mr. Epstein shall have one week to abide by the
terms and conditions of the September 24, 2007 Agreement as amended by letter from United
States Attorney Acosta to Jay Lefkowitz.

Hi David - I was just perusing the U.S. Attorney's Manual looking for an answer
on another case and I noticed that Section 9-75.030 (regarding Coordination of
Child Sex Abuse cases) says that cases involving violations of 18 USC 1591
(related to child sex trafficking) are supposed to be coordinated with CEOS and
the Civil Rights Division.
According to Section 8-3.120, prior to presentation to the grand jury, the U.S.
Attorney is supposed to advise the Civil Rights Division in writing of the
following:
Identity of the targets of the investigation;
The factual allegations to be investigated;
The statutes which may have been violated;
The United States Attorney's assessment of the significance of the case and
w ther the case is one of "national interest," and
The U.S. Attorney's proposed staffing of the matter (including whether
C it Rights Division attorney should be assigned to work directly on the
matter).

Hi David — I was just perusing the U.S. Attorney's Manual looking for an answer on another case and I noticed
that Section 9-75.030 (regarding Coordination of Child Sex Abuse cases) says that cases involving violations of
18 USC 1591 (related to child sex trafficking) are supposed to be coordinated with CEOS and the Civil Rights
Division.
According to Section 8-3.120, prior to presentation to the grand jury. the U.S. Attorney is supposed to advise
the Civil Rights Division in writing of the following:
(I Identity of the targets of the investigation;
(
The factual allegations to be investigated;
(

The United States Attorney's assessment of the significance of the case and whether the case is one of

Hi Marie,
What? CEOS conducting its own independent review? Independent of what? Do they not
understand who they are and what their job is? Why are they letting themselves be
manipulated like that? And how can defense lawirs "demand" a meeting II/main Justice? I
am so sorry for you. At least they should wall off few people to help you later with motions.
It's good for me to see my future, I guess,
We know about the John Melk lawsuit and have 'fair amount of info on it. It is odd that JE
fed ex'd him something — I wonder if JE was part of the straw man action. I wonder if DC used
fed ex — not that we know but it's worth checking.
We're moving ahead w/our investigation at this time. We are pretty sure we can charge DC
and his assistants with 'conspiracy of 1201 (kidnapping), citing the new-ish part of 1201 which
prohibits the use of interstate facilities in furtherance of the crime. Here we see international
travel brought about by inveigle or decoy, use of emails and phones to trick her to travel, and
her arrival at the isolated island with no way off and no passport (DC took hers the first night
and held it until they were on the plane out), holding her for ransom, reward or other (here for
sexual activity & whether it's "consensual" or not sho I
1
be decisive).
We think it works, our local FBI ASAC is on board and
emailed with David Karp in DC --
opines that the statute fits this crime. Have you had any contact with Karp on your case?
thinking he's I good guy.
We had' conf call with OIA and the FBI guy in Bahamas today. We really need to search
DC's place to find out about security and surveillance systems, phone s
ems, locks on the
i
doors, etc -
We're still going through the seized computers, including bunch of Macs, and
iphones. The Bureau doesn't have many Mac examiners but I never knew that before. It's
taking forever.
Bruce Lyon called again to ask questions about DC . He again talked about JE rot. When I
asked him if he was' lawyer in the JE case, he said he was one of JE's attorneys. Pretty weird
for 'lawyer for' witness. I haven't mentioned that I know about it or know you.
Let's keep in touch.

Hi Susan — What is the word with you? My word is growing ever more bizarre. JE's lawyers have demanded'
meeting with the head of CEOS with the understanding that CEOS will do an "independent review" of the case
and then will play no role in the litigation thereafter (so when I am swamped with silly motions I will not be
able to reach out to them for help). This meeting is supposed to happen next week. In the meantime, we keep
finding more and more girls.
On the DC/JE front. I have found 'somewhat shady business connection. I am reviewing JE's Federal Express
records from the past 5 years (I treasure trove of info) and found 'package sent by JE to "John Melk/Musha
Cay." I googled those two names and came up with this article.

Hi all - I wanted to update you on
couple of ew developments in the Epstein
case. First,
ff Herman is supposed to give rpress conference today a ouncing
the filing of
third lawsuit against Epstein. That case also involves
victim
whom we are no onger referring to in the indictment [Drew -
tell
that to the defense.] Herman seems to have latched onto the
group
which, as discussed in my third addendum to the pros memo, we ave a rea y
decided to forego for the most part.
Since I am not certain of the scope of your meeting, I do not know how
cal it is for you to see the new facts developed in the supplemental pros
memos (you reviewed the initial pros memo from May of last year). If you would
like the supplements, please let me know. The legal theories have remained the
same.
1455
08-80736-CV-MARRA
1-014656
EFTA00223800
I also wanted to call to everyone's attention the three-year statute of
Ir
il
limitations in Florida for the state solicitation offenses. The st ute will run
for all
e victims this summer. Once it runs we cannot insist on
state court
plea to
new charge. It also means that the state cannot charge t e crimes
related o the victims discovered after the initial investigation. We have asked
the Palm Beach Police Department to forego presenting thdse charges for state
prosecution in deference to our prosecution. If we do not intend to go forward,
it is imperative that we communicate that to the Police Department as soon as
possible so they can present those victims for state prosecution.
I have reserved time with the grand jury on the 18th. I had hoped to present the
indictment at that time, but in light of Jeff's communication with Jay, I will
push it off until the 25th. I would still like to start the presentation on the
18th so we aren't accused of rushing the grand jury. So; I hope that the final
indictment packet will be approved by that date.
Thank you.

Hey Marie,
I just heard from Joe that Mr. Herman is holding another press conference tomorrow at Palm Beach Town Mat
1:00pm. He called the Town of Palm Beach to see if he could hold It at EPSTEIN's residence. They told him "NO".
Also FYI, there Is' three year statute of limitations on the State charges of Solicitation. Joe feels like that State or
Epstein's Counsel may be waiting for those dates to pass. September/October 2005 is when most of the other victims
reported so that means in Sept/Oct 2008 the statute of limitations applies.

Thank you for the update. On the statute of limitations. it doesn't matter for the pending charges because they
were indicted in time. it just matters to adding new charges.
Can you call Mr. Herman and see if he will give us the following items without I subpoena?
I. Copy of
deposition transcript
2. Copy of any vi eo and/or audiorecording of that deposition
cil
3. Transcripts)
any other depositions taken in that suit
4. Copies of any
mails and correspondence sent to or received from Epstein or his lawyers
5. Co ies of anv agreements — formal or informal — entered into between Epstein/his lawyers and
dad/their lawyers.
And maybe you can ask him why there will be 'press conference?

I just heard from Joe that Mr. Herman is holding another press conference tomorrow at Palm Beach Town ■
at
1:00pm. He called the Town of Palm Beach to see if he could hold it at EPSTEIN's residence. They told him "NO".
Also FYI, there is' three year statute of limitations on the State charges of Solicitation. Joe feels like that State or
Epsteln's Counsel may be waiting for those dates to pass. September/October 2005 is when most of the other victims
reported so that means in Sept/Oct 2008 the statute of limitations applies.

Hi all — I wanted to update you on couple of new developments in the Epstein case. First. Jeff Herman is
I
supposed to give I press conferenc today announcing the filing of I third la
• against Epstein. That case
also involves victim whom we are no longer referrinia the indictment
t
— please do not tell that to

erman seems to have latched onto the
group w
. as discussed in my third
addendum to the pros memo, we have already decided to forego for the most pan.
Ill
_ Since I am not certain of the scope of your meeting. I do not know how critical it is for you to see the
acts developed in the supplemental pros memos (you reviewed the initial pros memo from May of last
year). If you would like the supplements. please let me know. The legal theories have remained the same.
I also wanted to call to everyone's attention the three-year statute of limitations in Florida for the state
solicitation offenses. The statute will run for all the victims this summer. Once it runs we cannot insist on'
state court plea to' new charge. It also means that the state cannot charge the crimes related to the victims
discovered after the initial investigation. We have asked the Palm Beach Police Department to forego
presenting those charges for state prosecution in deference to our prosecution. If we do not intend to go
forward, it is imperative that we communicate that to the Police Department as soon as possible so they can
present those victims for state prosecution.
I have reserved time with the grand jury on the 18Th. I had hoped to present the indictment at that time, but in
light of Jeffs communication with Jay, I will push it off until the 25*. I would still like to start the presentation
on the 18* so we aren't accused of rushing the grand jury. So,1 hope that the final indictment packet will be
approved by that date.
