Hi all — and I just spoke with Barry Krischer. He began with his usual complaint about us not communicating with him. I explained that it was the defense who were blocking the channels of communication.¶
He then told us that the current deal he has worked out with Jack Goldberger is 60 days in the County Jail, 2 years community confinement, and 3 years probation. He says that Epstein has agreed to plead to “attempted lewd conduct,” which, Barry says, will require registration. We asked Barry to send us the proposed Information so I can look to see whether, in fact, registration will be required. It also sounds like it will not involve a child sex offense.¶
I told Barry that the defense had told us that Barry objected to Epstein’s plea to the procurement charge and to his having to register as a sex offender. Barry said that the testimony in the grand jury would support the procurement charge and that they have never discussed sex offender registration.¶
Apparently Jack Goldberger told Barry that the delay was caused by DOJ’s internal investigation into my conduct referring business to my boyfriend’s “law partner.” We explained that the delay is caused by the defense appealing our decisions throughout the Justice Department.¶
He also said that Jack Goldberger had shown him a letter from Acosta about having to plead in two weeks.¶
He asked and I to get back to him after we review the Information to tell him if it is okay to go ahead with the plea deal.¶
Strangely enough, I haven’t heard from Roy Black.¶
I will let you know when we receive the Information.¶
