Summary
This document details a May 2006 meeting where the Palm Beach Police Department (PBPD) presented the Epstein case to federal authorities (FBI and USAO/Villafaña) due to concerns that the State Attorney (Krischer) was bowing to pressure from Epstein's legal team. The report outlines obstruction tactics used by Epstein's defense, including hiring PIs to trail police, orchestrating conflicts of interest to remove aggressive prosecutors, and potentially obtaining tips about search warrants. It also discusses the legal strategy for federal prosecution under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2422 and 2423, citing flight logs listing anonymous 'females' as potential evidence of interstate trafficking.
