I have your letter. I think we are on the same page, but to be sure I do want to clarify that we spoke the other week and 
I did say that if you want to meet with me again, I am ready to do so. The wording of your letter, however, suggests 
implicitly that I agreed to contact you before a decision is made to seek an indictment of Mr. Epstein. If that was your 
understanding, then please allow me to clarify. Our investigation is ongoing and if we decide to seek an indictment, we 
don't intend to call Mr. Epstein's representatives to let him know that. Of course, in the interim, if you would like to 
make a presentation to us, we are willing to listen. 
Along those lines, given the fact that we have already met once, with schedules being what they are, it makes sense for 
our criminal chief, Matt Menchel, to be included when you make another presentation, rather than working up the 
chain incrementally. I realize you were being respectful in not attempting to leapfrog over me, which I appreciate. I 
will pass on your request to meet with the U.S. Attorney as well, but can't commit for him one way or another. When 
you have some dates in mind, let me know and I will try to set up a meeting in Miami.

Re: Operation Leap Year 
Marie, 
You will not have approval to go forward tomorrow with an indictment or to poceed 
by complaint. Alex has your memo and lefcourt's letter but he is out of the 
district at the US Attorney's conference for the next several days. 
I'm having trouble understanding - given how long this case has been pending -
what the rush is. This is obviously a very significant case and alex wants to 
take his time making sure he is comfortable before proceeding.

Good morning: I just received a call that Epstein's plane is flying from the 
Virgin Islands to Newark now, so it looks like Epstein is going to show up for 
his court appearance tomorrow. Can you let me know if the indictment is going 
tomorrow or, if not, whether we are authorized to proceed by_Complaint?__

2007-05-22 letter to AUSA Lourie.pdf 
Gentlemen, 
Marie and I have already met with Lefcourt, which is really the meeting I promised him. I spoke to him last week and he 
said he had more information they wanted to present. I told him he could make an appointment to come in again if he 
wanted to and that we would meet with him again, but I did not promise that we would wait to give him a meeting 
"before" we charged. 
So, I think he is really ready for the next level rather than .a second meeting with me. Mike Tein also mentioned to me 
at some point that they wanted to make a presentation on the law and I suggested to him that he contact Matt without 
telling him exactly what stage of review we were at. I don't know if Teln and Lefcourt have crossed wires or not. 
In any event, I am forwarding this letter to you. I am going to suggest to Lefcourt the same thing that I suggested to 
Tein. I assume you would grant his attorneys a chance to make whatever presentation they desire. It would probably 
be helpful to us in any event to hear their legal arguments in case we have missed something. Whether Alex would be 
present or grant them another meeting after that is his call.

Hi Jim -- Thank you for the e-mail, and I will even forgive the football reference. I was 
just set for trial, so the earliest I will be able to reschedule the testimony will be after 
Thanksgiving. I will give you a call to discuss the immunity issue but I am concerned 
about other things we have talked about — if Ms... is given immunity, will she be 
forthcoming and answer the questions? Or am I going to jump through hoops to get her 
immunity and then have to worry about filing motions to compel, motions for orders to 
show cause why she shouldn't be held in contempt, etc., etc.? 
As always, thank you for your assistance. 
Regards, 
Marie

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. I have been out of town for several weeks. As 
to Miss 
, she still does not wish to testify in this case and has a Fifth Amendment 
basis for her position. She wishes not to accept the "proffer letter " cover of immunity, 
which again is her right. I think it is a waste of time to have her appear Friday to just 
take the Fifth. I suggest that you huddle with your people. (It is football season). If 
you want to push the issue you will have to get formal immuni . I will accept service 
now and in the future for you so you don't have to chase 
down. Jim Eisenberg

As i stated in my earlier voicemail today, we were calling to request a two-week 
extension on the return date of the following outstanding subpoenas: 
1. NES 
2. NY Strategy 
3. Investigator Riley 
4. Certification for St. Thomas entity 
We will be providing an additional submission to the Office by July 11 and hope 
to be able to reach a state-based resolution shortly thereafter. 
as your voicemail to me indicted, you would not oppose a one to two-week 
extension. accordingly, we would like to extend the return date two weeks-- to 
July 24.

Follow up re Epstein 
Hi Alex and Jeff— Hope you had a happy and safe New Year's Day. I did check, and if Epstein pleads to 
conspiracy to violate 2422(6), pursuant to 18 USC 371, he will still be classified as a Tier 2 sex offender (the 
same as if he were convicted of the substantive offense). 
Assuming that Jay calls and says that Epstein wants to plead to a federal offense, I would like to recommend a 
plea to a two-count information. Count I would be the 371 offense and Count 2 would be conspiracy to travel 
in interstate commerce to engage in illicit sexual conduct, in violation of 18 USC 2423(6), all in violation of 
2423(e). Both of those crimes have no mandatory minimum. The statutory max for the 371 is 60 months and 
the statutory max for 2423(e) is 30 years. I would like to include 2423(e) in case any of the victims try to sue 
under 2255 and Epstein claims that they are ineligible because 371 isn't one of the enumerated sections listed in 
2255. 
There is very little Il th Circuit case law related to ABA pleas, but the cases from other circuits suggest that 
there should be no problem. 
I would recommend that we not mention or suggest the idea of a conditional plea. If they want to make a 
counteroffer, they can do so. If so, I recommend that they be forced to specify the exact issue they wish to 
preserve on appeal. They also will ask us to: agree that Epstein can go to a "camp," agree to waive the PSI, 
and agree that Epstein be placed on bond and remain on bond pending appeal. I suggest that we not agree to 
any of those, but leave them to the judge's discretion. 
I'm not sure when Bob will be back and able to finish his review, but can we set January I8t  as the deadline for 
signing a plea agreement and January 25th as the deadline for the change of plea? If we file the Information by 
January 18th, we should be able to get an initial/arraignment and change of plea set up for the 25th. 
We also should discuss how we meet our discovery obligations but also keep Epstein from using this as a means 
to see all of our discovery and then decide that he wants to go to trial anyway. 
I will send a proposed plea agreement to you later today. 
Thanks.

Change of Plea Procedure 
Hi all — I just spoke with 
. She said that it varies from judge to judge, and Judge McSorley can vary 
from day to day, but sinceEpstein is pleading guilty (as opposed to no contest), there should be a written plea 
agreement and a full plea colloquy that goes through all of the terms of the plea agreement and a factual proffer 
that the defendant has to agree to. She said that, after the rest of the colloquy is finished, the judge asks the 
prosecutor to state the factual basis, and the prosecutor then reads the factual proffer into the record. After it is 
read, the judge asks the defendant is he did the things recited in the proffer and/or if he agrees that the State 
could prove those facts. 
She said that the length and detail of the factual proffer varies from prosecutor to prosecutor and thought that 
Lanna was less detailed than most. 
I will try to send you a proposed factual proffer later this afternoon.
