Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2011 22:57:11 +0000 Importance: Normal Dear MI, Thank you for getting back to us. We have to say, however, that we were surprised to see nothing substantive in your e-mail, but rather a proposal that we wait yet another two weeks before doing anything ... and in two weeks we would have another call with no promise of any resolution of this case. We also were surprised by your statement that asking you to step aside will somehow have repercussions "for every U.S. Attorney's Office throughout the country." Why? If you take no position, that can hardly be viewed as somehow setting policy. Indeed, it is probably only by taking a position that you could be doing something that has broader ramifications. You also mentioned that you are trying to balance your obligations to M . "without our obligations to the other identified victims in the Epstein matter." With all ai ect, we're not sure what sort of "balance" you are undertaking. As you know, we represent not only M, but also and M. We can tell you that all of three of these victims are aligned in their position. And it is our belief that many (if not all) of the other victims concur in our proposed plan of attack. We want to work with your Office. But for several years now — stretching back to our attempts in the summer of 2008 to reach a stipulated set of facts with you and our renewed attempts to do the same thing in October 2010 — we haven't gotten anything specific from your Office about what you agree actually happened and what you are disputing. Accordingly, we would like to propose that: (1) on the morning of March 1 or March 2, we have conference call where you update us on what is happening with regard to our proposal. For instance, we understand that you are still waiting for further guidance from Washingto
