We really appreciate it. We are now working on responding to your reply on the issue of remedies. As you know, the Government has placed the entire reply under seal. With all due respect, we believe that placing the entire document under seal is inappropriate. The vast majority of the issues and arguments in the pleading are not confidential. We believe that placing them under seal violates DOJ policy as well as constitutional First Amendment principles. Placing the document under seal also creates significant problems for the victims. Just as you have been consulting your colleagues in Washington, D.C., on these issues, we have been consulting with our friends in the victims' rights movement around the country. Because your document is entirely under seal, it appears that send it to them for their review would violate the sealing order. In view of these facts, we are writing to ask whether the Government would oppose a motion by the victims that the Government file a redacted pleading in the open court file, redacting only information that refers directly and specifically to grand jury proceedings. We are planning on filing on unsealed motion to that effect shortly. We are also writing to ask what would be the Government's position on an additional motion, asking for unsealing of all information mentioned at page 32 n.20 of the Government's pleading (information regarding Epstein's offenses committed in other jurisdictions). Thank you in advance for providing the Government's position on these issues. Paul and Brad Paul G. Cassell Ronald N.

Hey (USAFLS) ( I gather from your public filing yesterday you have a sealed response on the remedies issue — which is presumably heading towards us in snail mail. Would you be able to send Brad and me an electronic copy today? I want to read it this weekend, because I'm pretty jammed up next week. Thanks in advance for any help you can extend. Paul Paul G.

Dershowitz’s evasive discovery responses in Edwards v. Dershowitz case

Dershowitz’s evasive discovery responses in Edwards v. Dershowitz case The passage reveals a pattern of non‑compliance and vague objections by a high‑profile attorney in a civil suit, suggesting possible concealment of documents. While it provides specific dates and procedural details useful for follow‑up, it lacks concrete allegations of wrongdoing, financial flows, or involvement of powerful political actors, limiting its impact. Key insights: Discovery requests for “absolute proof” were served well before February 2015.; Dershowitz’s counsel promised production by Feb 23, 2015 but delivered no documents.; Responses were limited to generic objections and promises of “non‑privileged” documents.

We would request that your motion for extension of time give us an extension on our reply document, such that our reply would be due 10 days after the main Justice Department declaration that will be coming in two weeks. If you would include such language as well in any proposed order, saving us (and the court) drafting time, that would be very much appreciated.

Dershowitz seeks to seal Giuffre affidavit in Edwards‑Cassell defamation case, claims media attacks are fabricated

Dershowitz seeks to seal Giuffre affidavit in Edwards‑Cassell defamation case, claims media attacks are fabricated The passage hints at a possible concealment of evidence in a high‑profile defamation dispute involving Alan Dershowitz, a prominent attorney, and references the infamous Giuffre allegations. While it names well‑known legal figures, it provides no concrete financial transactions, dates, or new factual revelations beyond already public claims, limiting its investigative utility. However, the suggestion that a court record may be sealed to hide potentially damaging testimony offers a moderate lead for further document‑review and freedom‑of‑information requests. Key insights: Dershowitz requests the court to declare portions of Ms. Giuffre’s affidavit confidential.; He publicly denies the allegations on BBC Radio 4, framing them as a coordinated false‑story campaign.; Dershowitz threatens perjury prosecution against accusers and seeks disbarment of opposing counsel.

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
