RE: Saw the Epstein news

How are you doing?

U.S. Department of Justice

Civil Rights Division - Criminal Section

So-so. After all the hell they put me through, I don't feel like celebrating 18 months. He should be spending 18 years in jail — with his lawyers in the cell next to him. But I did get to see him leaving the courtroom in handcuffs. And he will have to pay out a minimum of $4,650,000 in damages.

So, how are you?

I was happy about the offender registration, but I wondering about the damages, as the article that I read didn't mention them. Add that to the $57 million he just lost in the Bear Stearns debacle and it may actually crimp his style. (Perhaps karma took care of what DOJ didn't. Perhaps this will hold true during the civil suits.)

Things in the Civil Rights Division are good. I just started a week ago, but they really seem to make a point of giving you every possible tool to be successful. The people here are really happy and seem amazingly stress free, considering all of the travel involved. (I'll get on a plane less often than with CEOS, but may possibly spend more time away.) The differences between the way things are managed at CEOS and the way they are managed here are downright startling. I know that it has much to do with the fact that the section is significantly larger, older and better funded . ..but it's like a different world.

Wait – when did you move to Civil Rights? Are you working with my friend?

I officially left CEOS on June 21st, but I'd been on vacation since June 9th. It's something that I have wanted to do for years and I'm so happy that it finally worked out. (I applied to this section twice before going to CEOS, but didn't have enough prosecution experience for them to hire me.) I haven't met a yet. Is she in the Criminal Section?

Hi – Congratulations. I have always heard that Criminal Civil Rights is the best place to be at DOJ.

is with "Special Programs" — they handle prisons, nursing homes, police departments. She is fabulous and you two would get along great. She and I worked together at the firm in Minneapolis, then she went to a firm in DC and then to DOJ. I think she has been there for around 7 years. She is a Deputy Chief now, I think.

Thank you for the vote of confidence with Epstein. I am trying to focus on the fact that he would have gotten a complete walk if I wasn't so hard-headed.

You are right. But for your tenacity, he'd be somewhere ruining another child's life.
