DOJ-OGR-00005189.jpg

This document is a page from a legal filing that presents a legislative history and analysis to argue for a broad interpretation of the phrase "any offense involving sexual or physical abuse." The author cites the 1986 Sexual Abuse Act (SAA) and related congressional hearings to counter what they describe as a narrower definition previously used by courts. The central argument is that the SAA was intended to comprehensively define sexual abuse for federal offenses.

DOJ-OGR-00005187.jpg

This handwritten legal document argues that Congress intentionally excluded specific child abuse definitions found in § 3509(a) when making technical corrections in 1994, suggesting these definitions apply to civil reporting rather than criminal statutes. The text cites legal precedents such as *Ibarra v. Holder*, *Jama v. Immigration & Customs Enforcement*, and *Brown v. Gardner* to support principles of statutory interpretation regarding congressional intent and context.

This document is a page of handwritten legal notes filed on October 12, 2021, as part of Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell). The text presents a legal argument focusing on 'Plain Language' statutory interpretation, specifically distinguishing between 'exploitation' and 'sexual or physical abuse.' The author cites several legal precedents (Patterson v. Schriro, US v. Pharis, US v. Dodge) and criticizes the Fifth Circuit for ignoring guidance regarding statutory construction and the misfiling of statute of limitation language in 1990.

This document is a handwritten page from a legal filing in the case USA v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE), filed in October 2021. The text contains legal arguments regarding statutory interpretation, specifically concerning definitions of 'sexual abuse' and 'exploitation,' and argues for the application of 'repose' (statute of limitations) based on Supreme Court precedents like *Lockhart*, *Toussie*, and *McElvain*. It criticizes the Fifth Circuit's interpretation of these statutes.

DOJ-OGR-00005183.jpg

This document is a handwritten legal motion filed on October 12, 2021, by federal inmate David A. Diehl (Reg. No. 53214018) from USP Coleman II. Diehl argues legal points regarding statutes of limitations, citing 'Stogner v. California' and 18 USC § 3299, to request 'intervenor status' in the criminal case against Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The document serves as a cover letter for an enclosed brief he wishes to file in her case.

DOJ-OGR-00005182.jpg

This document is a handwritten legal argument filed in court on October 12, 2021, challenging a court's interpretation of statute §3283. The author argues that the statute's legislative history, originating from the 1986 Sexual Abuse Act, demonstrates its narrow purpose is for sexual assault and related offenses, not a broader application. The argument cites several legal cases (Davis, Pledges, Bridges) to contend that the court's findings are 'patently wrong'.

DOJ-OGR-00023279.jpg

This document is page 241 of a DOJ report discussing the legal interpretation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) between 2010 and 2011. It details the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) determination that victim rights do not 'vest' until formal criminal charges are filed, a stance maintained in the 2011 Guidelines revision despite Senator Jon Kyl's argument that this conflicted with the Act's plain language. The text highlights the friction between internal DOJ policy regarding pre-indictment plea negotiations and the legislative intent of the CVRA.

This document is page 19 of 83 from a court filing (Document 565) in Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell), filed on December 19, 2021. It contains Instruction No. 12 regarding 'Conspiracy and Substantive Counts,' explaining the legal distinction between agreeing to commit a crime (conspiracy) and actually committing the crime (substantive). The text outlines that the jury will be instructed on substantive Counts Two, Four, and Six before conspiracy Counts One, Three, and Five.

DOJ-OGR-00011560.jpg

This document is page 41 of a court filing from July 22, 2022, discussing legal arguments related to a defendant's sentencing. It focuses on the application of sentencing guidelines 4B1.5(b) concerning public danger and 3B1.1(a) regarding leadership roles in criminal activity, particularly in cases involving sexual abuse or exploitation of minors. The document cites congressional intent and the defendant's objections to these enhancements.

This document is page 40 of a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330) filed on July 22, 2022, related to the sentencing of Ghislaine Maxwell (the defendant). The judge overrules a defense objection regarding sentencing enhancements, affirming that the defendant engaged in a pattern of prohibited sexual conduct with a minor and rejecting the argument that a finding of 'continuing danger to the public' is required by the Guidelines. The judge cites legal precedents (United States v. Sash, NLRB v. SW General) to prioritize the clear text of the Guidelines over background commentary or legislative history.

DOJ-OGR-00011554.jpg

A page from a court transcript filed on July 22, 2022, in Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE (United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell). Defense attorney Mr. Everdell argues that sentencing guidelines regarding 'repeat and dangerous sex offenders' should not apply to his client, noting she has not been accused of a crime in over 18 years. The prosecutor, Ms. Moe, declines to respond verbally, resting on previous written briefings.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019765.jpg

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019709.jpg

This document appears to be a scanned page (p. 221) from a book, likely by Edward Jay Epstein (indicated by filename 'Epst'), titled 'The Russians Are Coming' (chapter title). The text analyzes Russian geopolitical strategy following the year 2000, specifically focusing on the leadership's view of the Soviet collapse as a disaster and efforts to counter US hegemony through alliances with China and military upgrades.
