From: USAFLS) Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 6:09 PM To: R th John ODAG) (SMO) Cc: (USAFLS) Subject: Epstein John, Epstein is facing trial on a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution. This does not resemble the charges that Epstein agreed to plead guilty to in the September 24th Agreement nor what he would face federally. That case is set for trial on Monday July 7. If we are given the go ahead from the DAG's office, we would give Epstein one final chance to comply with the September 24th Agreement. In that regard, it would be most preferable to have a decision by next week. That would give us the opportunity to seek an indictment on Tuesday July 1“ if Epstein fails to comply with the September 24th Agreement by Monday June 30th The reason this timetable is important is to address our concern that Epstein may continue to keep us in a holding pattern if he pleads to the pending state solicitation of prostitution charge before a federal indictment is returned. In that scenario, I anticipate Epstein's counsel raising petit policy issues, thus throwing another possible monkey wrench in the process. Although I don't believe that the petit policy would be affected, I can imagine someone calling a timeout until the issue is vetted. That's why I would prefer being able to seek an indictment before Epstein pleads to the pending charge and after he has repudiated the September 24th Agreement. Thanks, a 951 EFTA00180235
