Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 1:58 PM Subject: RE: Potential Epstein recusal (criminal) I have told the case agents and the group supervisor, don't know if it has gone any higher than that. Let me know if you want me to ask if he is chain of command. Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 1:S6 PM Subject: Potential Epstein recusal (criminal) I spoke to at EOUSA/GC about our office seeking recusal from any new investigation into allegations against Epstein (-is no longer with GC). S agreed that we should seek recusal and asked that we submit something to him giving a brief history of the case and the basis for recusal. He doesn't need (or want) anything too detailed, but we should provide him with enough information to allow him to formulate the recusal request. can you draft something for us to send to him? Also, does the FBI know that we are seeking recusal? I don't want them to be blindsided. Thanks. Ben EFTA00205957
