- Epstein's counsel's request to keep the NPA from becoming public.
- The line prosecutor's recommendation to address timing issues in the state agreement to avoid making the federal jurisdiction obvious.

Glad we could get this worked out for reasons I won't put in writing. After this is resolved I would love to buy you a cup at Starbucks and have a conversation.
Please do whatever you can to keep this [i.e., the NPA] from becoming public.
I recommended that some of the timing issues be addressed only in the state agreement, so that it isn't obvious to the judge that we are trying to create federal jurisdiction for prison purposes.
