This document is an email chain from May 2008 between FBI agents and USAFLS attorneys discussing the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. Key topics include frustration over delays caused by Epstein's defense team, the presentation of arguments to the Deputy Attorney General (DAG) by Acosta to prevent further stalling, and the urgency created by expiring statutes of limitations and grand jury terms. The emails reveal that investigators had identified over 20 known child victims, one of whom confirmed telling Epstein she was 14 or 15, to which he allegedly replied he did not care about age. The correspondence also mentions a plea deal reduction from 2 years to 18 months and concerns about private investigators harassing victims.
