Subject: Draft Agreements?
Hi Jay -- I was hoping there would be things for me to read this morning, but I will try to remain patient.
I believe there are only two types of agreements that would apply to this case: (1) a plea agreement to a federal charge or charges; and (2) a non-prosecution agreement (which is really a deferred prosecution agreement because the defendant agrees that if he violates the agreement, the U.S. can prosecute him).
A plea agreement is part of the court file. It is not accessible on-line via PACER, but someone can go to the Clerk's Office to obtain a copy.
A non-prosecution agreement would not be made public or filed with the Court, but it would remain part of our case file. It probably would be subject to a FOIA request, but it is not something that we would distribute without compulsory process.
On the obstruction charges, many of the facts I included in that first proffer were hypothesized based upon our discussions and the agents' observations of [REDACTED]. We will need to interview her to confirm the accuracy of those facts. On a second count, we could rely on the incident where Mr. Epstein's private investigators followed [REDACTED] father, forcing him off the road. Or, if there is something more recent related to any [REDACTED] we could consider that.
[REDACTED]ope that helps.
