Re: ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE

Mike and Justin,

I trust this message finds you both well.

I wanted to let you know that I received the attached self-explanatory correspondence by certified mail today from the Miami Herald. I obviously will not respond.

I assume you received a similar inquiry but just wanted to be sure that you were aware of the communication. I am copying Sarah on this note so that she is contemporaneously apprised of the Herald's effort to reach her through my office.

Best,
Johnny

did they get it unsealed? is this the time for someone to pooint out all girls got paid. . no fed case.. at home.? etc. alan ken starr. ? etc.

1. No, J sweet denied their motion (I will verify).

2. We can work on a short written statement but in today's climate (and with J Marra possibly being in our future) we should take the high road, justify the NPA (lacking federal element points) to blunt the article putting pressure on the federal prosecutors, and add the point that not all accusers are victims. Saying they were paid $ will be part of story (the "enticement"). Who sends Brown the letter (or is it co-signed by several of your attys) we can think about. This is not happening overnight.

This is consistent with what they told J Sweet in the Giuffre case, see attached for paragraphs that parallel the letter. They relied on Holland & Knight (one of the largest Fla-centric law firms) to do 35 pgs of pleadings to get their reporter the sealed materials. I don't know Julie Brown but I could ask Roy and Jack if either has had any experience with her — or if they know the attorney who signed the pleadings for the Herald. This did not happen by accident. She has done reports on criminal law and women's issues before.
