IV. 
The Facts of This Case Militate Against Bringing a Federal Prosecution 
A. 
Declining To Prosecute as an Exercise of Discretion 
Epstein is being prosecuted by state authorities in Florida. Even if we assume arguendo 
that Epstein's conduct constitutes a federal crime that can be proven, nevertheless no "substantial 
Federal interest" would be served by prosecuting him. On this question, the United States 
Attorney's Manual (USAM) itself gives specific guidance. Section 9-27.230 provides: 
In determining whether prosecution should be 
declined because no substantial Federal interest 
would be served by prosecution, the attorney for the 
government 
should 
weigh 
all 
relevant 
considerations, including: Federal law enforcement 
priorities; the nature and seriousness of the offense; 
the deterrent effect of prosecution; the person's 
culpability in connection with the offense; the 
person's history with respect to criminal activity; 
the person's willingness to cooperate in the 
investigation or prosecution of others; and the 
probable sentence or other consequences if the 
person is convicted.I7
Each of these factors militates against prosecution. As indicated, federal law enforcement 
priorities focus on particular phenomena involving the sexual abuse of minors, the use of the 
" Each of these factors is discussed in greater detail in USAM 9-27.230(B).

internet to lure minors to engage in prohibited sexual activity, child pornography, or trafficking. 
The conduct in which Epstein is alleged to have engaged fits nowhere in these categories. Given 
its essentially sui generis character, its prosecution would have little or no general deterrent 
effect. 
If prosecuted under statutes designed to address far more serious conduct and far more 
dangerous offenders, he would be subject to punishment that is grossly disproportionate to his 
alleged behavior. Even though society has a legitimate interest in preventing and punishing 
sexual exploitation of minors, under our federal system, that interest is one that is shared 
between the federal government and the states, and one in which there is a division of 
responsibility. Under our system of federalism, the states, and only the states, act where the 
concern is local, and the federal government only where there is a federal interest at stake. This 
is just as true with respect to sexual activity involving minors as it is with respect to murder, 
which can be prosecuted, federally, only in special circumstances where there is a genuine 
federal interest to be served. 
Most importantly, there is no identifiable federal interest to be served by prosecuting the 
conduct at issue in this case. The federal interest lies in addressing the problem of Internet 
predators, a problem of uniquely federal interest. As the Director of the Office for Victims of 
Crime of the DOJ has stated, "...the nature of Internet crimes presents complex new challenges 
for law enforcement agencies and victim service providers with regard to investigating crimes, 
collecting evidence, identifying and apprehending offenders, and assisting child victims and their 
families." U.S.D.O.J., Office of Justice Programs, OVC Bulletin, Internet Crimes Against 
Children, December 2001. Federal lawmakers recognized that while the internet presents 
wonderful opportunities for young people, at the same time "criminals are also using modern 
technology - to prey on innocent victims." Id 
That should be sufficient to end the matter, as Epstein's case has nothing whatever to do 
with internet predation, or the type of predators to which the legislation is addressed. 
After all, it is a first principle that the Constitution creates a federal government of 
enumerated powers. See United States v.= 
514 U.S. 549, 552 (1995) ("Just as the 
separation and independence of the coordinate branches of the Federal Government serve to 
prevent the accumulation of excessive power in any one branch, a healthy balance of power 
between the States and the Federal Government will reduce the risk of tyranny and abuse from 
either front.") (quoting Gregory v. Ashcroft, 501 U.S. 452, 458 (1997 
Thus, Congress's power 
to legislate in this area is constrained by the Commerce Clause. As 
demonstrates, the

Clause imposes real limitations on Congress's power to criminalize essentially local behavior. 
See United States v. Morrison, 529 U.S. 598 (2000) (Violence Against Women Act exceeded 
Congressional power under the Commerce Clause or § 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment). 
M
, of course, recognizes Congress's power to regulate "the use of the channels of 
interstate commeind "to keep the channels of interstate commerce free from immoral and 
injurious uses." 
514 U.S. at 558. But this confirms that the legitimate federal interest is 
in the misuse of instrumentalities or channels of interstate commerce. This suggests that, in 
defining and weighing the federal interest, the focus should be on the use of interstate travel, and 
not upon the sexual conduct itself. Clearly, Epstein's interstate travel can be of no legitimate or 
significant federal interest. He spent a great deal of his time in Florida because he has owned a 
home there for seventeen years and has many professional, social and personal interests centered 
there, none of which has anything to do with sexual conduct. Given the attenuated relationship 
between sexual conduct with any person under 18 and interstate travel, the federal interest in this 
matter is negligible. 
The conduct at issue is not an example of a widespread or growing phenomenon that in 
general crosses state or international lines (like intemet sexual predators or sex tourism) that is 
difficult to police or prosecute and that the United States has a special interest in eliminating. It 
does not involve the special targeting of children. It does not involve organized prostitution, sex 
trafficking, or organized crime. It does.not involve violence or the threat of violence, nor 
physical harm or threat of harm. It does not involve child pornography. Indeed, the 
circumstances of this case are so idiosyncratic that its pursuit would not significantly advance the 
protection of minors. Instead, the conduct at issue here is precisely the conduct that is primary 
interest to the state. And it is the state that has the authority, and the right, to establish and rely 
on reasonable criteria for deciding which cases to bring and which to forego. 
To the extent that the federal statutes in this area are broadly drafted, this is to confer on 
the authorities sufficient leeway to exercise their discretion and "get the bad guys" who do 
exploit minors, often on a massive scale or for financial rewards. The very breadth of the 
statutory language places on federal prosecutors the weighty responsibility of insuring that their 
discretion is exercised thoughtfully. Certainly, the fact that conduct arguably falls within the 
broad scope of a broadly worded federal criminal statute cannot itself establish that a substantial 
federal interest is at stake. 
Nor does the statutory breadth mean that prosecutors should strive to test the statutes' 
outer boundaries. This is particularly true here, where private conduct is at issue; where the

federal statutes, broadly read, would criminalize sexual conduct that state law may permit; and 
where the question of whether federal le
 in this area exceeds Commerce Clause 
authority, in light of United States v. 
supra, remains unresolved by the Supreme Court. It 
is well to remember that hard cases make bad law — for the government as well as for its citizens. 
Indeed, if the use of a handgun that traveled in interstate commerce does not allow a federal 
prosecution by invocation of the Commerce Clause, as the Supreme Court ruled in 
then 
surely purely local sexual activity would not, either. 
B. 
Petite Policy 
In addition to the factors discussed above, the Petite Policy (regarding dual and 
successive prosecutions), a limitation on prosecutorial authority, may also stand as a bar to 
federal prosecution. If it is arguable whether the policy applies, the policy itself may require that 
Justice Department authorization to proceed be obtained. 
The Policy, which takes its name from Petite v. United States, 361 U.S. 529 (1960), is set 
forth in the USAM at 9-2.031. The Petite Policy "establishes guidelines for the exercise of 
discretion by appropriate officers of the Department of Justice in determining whether to bring a 
federal prosecution based on substantially the same act(s) or transactions involved in a prior state 
or federal proceeding." 
The purpose of the policy "is to vindicate substantial federal interests through appropriate 
federal prosecutions, to protect persons charged with criminal conduct from the burdens 
associated with multiple prosecutions and punishments for substantially the same acts or 
transactions, to promote efficient utilization of Department resources, and to promote 
coordination and cooperation between federal and state prosecutors." USAM 9-2.031(A). 
Though the Policy does not create any substantive or procedural rights enforceable by law, see, 
e.g., United States v. Snell, 592 F.2d 1083 (9th Cir. 1979), it nevertheless provides a valid basis 
for arguing against the institution of charges in this matter. 
The crux of the Policy is this: 
This policy precludes the initiation or continuation 
of a federal prosecution, following a prior state or 
federal prosecution based on substantially the same 
act(s) or transaction(s) unless three substantive 
prerequisites are satisfied: first, the matter must

Page 24 
involve a substantial federal interest; second, the 
prior prosecution must have left that interest 
demonstrably unvindicated; and third, applying the 
same test that is applicable to all federal 
prosecutions, the government must believe that the 
defendant's conduct constitutes a federal offense, 
and that the admissible evidence probably will be 
sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction by an 
unbiased trier of fact. 
In addition, there is a 
procedural prerequisite to be satisfied, that is, the 
prosecution must be approved by the appropriate 
Assistant Attorney General. 
Satisfaction of the three substantive prerequisites 
does not mean that a proposed prosecution must be 
approved or brought. The traditional elements of 
federal prosecutorial discretion continue to apply. 
Whether the matter involves a substantial federal interest is a determination to be made 
on a case-by-case basis, applying the considerations applicable to all federal prosecutions. The 
second prerequisite is that the prior prosecution must have left that substantial federal interest 
"demonstrably unvindicated." "In general, the Department will presume that a prior prosecution, 
regardless of result, has vindicated the relevant federal interest." USAM 9-2.031(D)28
The presumption may be overcome when the prior prosecution resulted in a conviction if 
the prior sentence was manifestly inadequate in light of the federal interest involved or if the 
choice of charges in the prior prosecution was affected by certain inappropriate or irrelevant 
factor such as "incompetence, corruption, intimidation, or undue influence." 
No such factors operated here. The negotiations between the State Attorney were 
conducted at arms length, and at times in an atmosphere of mutual hostility. At no point was 
Epstein granted any sort of break in his case due to his wealth, his political affiliations, or the 
prominence of his lawyers. If anything, those factors worked against him. The state prosecutors 
devoted enormous resources to a lengthy investigation, refused to reveal the nature of the charges 
1s All three substantive pre-requisites for approval of a prosecution governed by the Petite Policy are 
discussed in greater detail in USAM 9-2.031(D).

they were considering, refused to speak with Epstein's attorney of choice, and tried to strong-arm 
Epstein to plead guilty to a violent felony by threatening to place witnesses, whom the State 
knew were not credible, on the stand before a grand jury. 
In determining the charges, the State Attorney took into account the fact that both of the 
principal victims - 
and 
- have serious credibility problems, 
including damaging histories of lies, illegal drug use, and crime. The State Attorney, quite 
appropriately, took into account the substantial possibility that, with witnesses of their ilk, it 
might not be able to make any case against Epstein at all. In fact, according to Barry ICrischer, 
the State Attorney for Palm Beach County, his reason to take the case to the grand jury, rather 
than proceed by information, was to determine whether his witnesses would testify under oath, 
even without being lS&
eeted to cross-examination. Tellingly, though subpoenaed to testify at 
the grand jury, Ms. M 
failed even to appear. 
The charging decision was not an act of favoritism, but a rather harsh exercise of the 
State Attorney's discretion. The State Attorney had never before prosecuted a case involving 
erotic touching unless the victim was exceedingly young, vulnerable, or in a trust relationship 
with the perpetrator. Cases brought by the State Attorney previously involved far more 
egregious conduct, including the videotaping of sexual activity, multiple rapes, and keeping 
minors as sex slaves, including tattooing them to indicate ownership and control over them. Any 
suggestion that Epstein received preferential treatment - or that the State prosecutors were 
corrupt - would be utterly without merit. 
For all of these reasons, we submit that no prosecution can or should be brought against 
Jeffrey Epstein. We would like to reserve the opportunity to make a further submission in which 
we address more specifically the applicable law once we have had the benefit of narrowing the 
focus at our meeting.
