Subject: RE: Epstein case

That sounds perfect. I actually like the written stuff, so I can work on that with backup help for the flood of motions I expect.

One other strategic thing. I want the judge and jury to see that, rather than the big bad government vs. the poor little defense attorney, it is the big bad defense attorneys ganging up on the nice, polite, hard-working government.

Thank you so much, Drew. I really appreciate it.

Well, has those qualities - and there isn't a federal prosecutor in the land who knows more about dealing with teenaged victims of prostitution offenses. That said, this matter is unique for reasons you know better than anyone.

Writing responses to complex legal claims - bogus or otherwise - is definitely not strength. On the other hand, she's extremely good in court. I told Jeff that perhaps it's best to partner you with and give you back up on motions and other legal pleadings from someone else in my section with that strength. How do you feel about that?





I thought she was great, but I leave it completely to your discretion. I am happy for all the help I can get. You kind of know the lay of the land on the case, and I think we will get either Judge Middlebrooks, Judge Marra, or Judge Hurley. Tenacity, patience, and an ability to work with troubled young women will be key.
