A 14-page letter from attorney Stephanie D. Thacker to DOJ official John Roth arguing against federal prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. Thacker contends the case lacks federal jurisdiction (no interstate travel for illegal purposes, no commercial sex trafficking) and should remain a state matter. She highlights credibility issues with witnesses who admitted to lying about their age and accuses the lead detective of omitting exculpatory evidence in search warrant affidavits.

This document is a page from a legal memorandum authored by Kirkland & Ellis LLP, arguing against federal prosecution of their client (implied to be Jeffrey Epstein). The text asserts that the alleged conduct—described controversially as 'consensual conduct' in a private home, even involving minors—is a matter for state (Florida/Palm Beach) jurisdiction rather than federal law. It cites various legal precedents, including United States v. Santos (2008), to argue for a narrow interpretation of federal criminal statutes.
