Summary

This document is an internal email thread from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida dated September 17, 2009. The emails discuss media strategy in anticipation of a Palm Beach Post article about the Epstein deal. An Assistant U.S. Attorney clarifies that U.S. Attorney 'Alex' (likely Alexander Acosta) intended the prosecution to remain a state case to allow State Attorney Barry Krischer to 'save face,' while establishing minimum penalties as a 'floor' rather than a ceiling.

To the extent that we do want to say anything, I think (based upon earlier conversations with Alex) that our Office’s position was that this started as a state case and Alex wanted it to stay a state case, but to provide for minimum protections for the victims, both in terms of jail time and compensation — in other words, this was a floor, not a ceiling. My personal opinion was that Alex wanted Barry Krischer to save face, but Alex never said that openly to me.

What are we going to say, if anything, tomorrow when contacted about this. I’m sure we will get a bunch of calls. Are we directing everything to [Redacted] I presume ?
