Summary
This document is page 2 of a letter dated May 19, 2008, addressed to the Honorable Mark Filip from Jeffrey Epstein's legal team. The letter argues against federal prosecution, citing a review by CEOS (Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section) initiated by Mr. Acosta which found that while prosecution wasn't impossible, it relied on a 'novel application' of federal law. The authors allege that the USAO in Miami is engaging in misconduct, specifically by commingling criminal law with a civil remedy intended to profit specific lawyers, and request a senior-level review by the Justice Department.
