Subject: RE: Epstein 
Ili Jeff— Funny you should ask. I have been wondering the same thing. Here is the term sheet and guidelines calculation 
that we provided at the last meeting. You and Matt and I had also discussed a possible federal plea to an Information 
charging a 371 conspiracy, with a Rule 11 plea with a two-year cap, but I think Matt must have asked Alex about it and it 
was nixed. Just to be prepared for tomorrow, I was just starting to draft a Rule II plea agreement in case Alex changes 
his mind and a formal non-prosecution agreement containing the state plea terms. As soon as those are ready, I will e-
mail them to you. 
Genf Plea 
gotiations final.% 
There are three concerns that I hope we can address tomorrow. First, that there is an absolute drop-dead date for 
accepting or rejecting because it is strategically important that we indict before the end of September, which means 
presenting the indictment on September 256. Second, the agents and I have not reached out to the victims to get their 
approval, which as Drew politely reminded me, is required under the law. And third, I do not want to make any promises 
about allowing Epstein to self-surrender because I still believe that we have a good chance of getting him detained. 
On another note, Junior got a call today from the Palm Beach Police Chief because he got information that there will be an 
article released tomorrow about our meeting and that Epstein is going to plead to a state charge and the Chief wanted to 
know if the victims had been consulted about the deal. There has been some coverage in the New York press about Ken 
Starr, but I haven't seen anything local yet.

Did we consider these, or any other factors, in deciding not to advise the victims of the plea negotiations, which 
appeared to have commenced in mid-2007? Thanks.

RE: Factors in Not Disclosing Plea Agreement Terms 
Hi Dexter — I will forward to you an e-mail that I sent to Jeff and Alex about victim notification during the 
negotiations. The terms of the agreement were proposed by Matt Menchel, and I worked on drafting an 
agreement in accordance with those terms. 
think the Office's position is that the number of victims, timing, and the confidentiality provisions included in 
the agreement made victim notification impossible. I would add that, after seeing how the defense twisted the 
disclosure of the terms to the first few victims, premature notification of them would have compromised their 
trial testimony.

Subject: Factors in Not Disclosing Plea Agreement Terms 
Marie, 
The Attorney General's Guidelines lists several factors in determining whether to notify a victim of a proposed plea 
agreement: 
(3) Proposed Plea Agreements. Responsible officials should make reasonable efforts to notify identified victims of, and 
consider victims' views about, prospective plea negotiations. In determining what is reasonable, the responsible official 
should consider factors relevant to the wisdom and practicality of giving notice and considering views in the context of 
the particular case, including, but not limited to, the following factors: 
(a) The impact on public safety and risks to personal safety. 
(b) The number of victims. 
(c) Whether time is of the essence in negotiating or entering a proposed plea. 
(d) Whether the proposed plea involves confidential information or conditions. 
(e) Whether there is another need for confidentiality. 
(f) Whether the victim is a possible witness in the case and the effect that relaying any information may have on the 
defendant's right to a fair trial. 
When we spoke this morning, you told me that the initial agreement with Epstein was reached in September 2007. 
An 
addendum was negotiated in October 2007. Finally, an additional portion of the agreement was signed in December 
2007.

Draft Response in Jane Doe 
Alex and Jeff, 
Here is a draft response to the emergency petition filed by Jane Doe in the Epstein case. Our first argument is that Doe 
had no rights under 18 U.S.C. 3177(a)(5) since that provision does not apply where there are no "court proceedings" in 
federal court, and none were contemplated, as long as Epstein complied with the non-prosecution agreement. 
The 
second argument is that the government used its best efforts to comply, since the A/G guidelines permitted us to not 
notify victims of the proposed plea negotiations if the proposed plea involved confidential information or conditions, or 
there is another need for confidentiality. Article IV, Section B(2)(C)(3). 
The government exercised its discretion and 
determined that keeping the terms confidential was necessary in order to obtain the best agreement. 
In particular, 
the government wanted Epstein to make a significant concession on one of the elements in 18 U.S.C. 2255. 
I am speaking with Kim Herd at EOUSA regarding the government's position. In particular, the first argument will have 
to be cleared by DOJ before I can assert it. Please feel free to make any comments. Thanks.
