- Description

The request for an agreement on preservation, rather than discovery, is slightly unusual.

Notable Quotes 2
I think its more consistent with a taint review - if that is indeed the search protocol that you will use or (if there is a challenge) attempt to use to review the seized Epstein phones/electroncs - for the attorney list to go to the taint prosecutor to guard against any risk that identifying an attorney may in combination with other evidence in your possession disclose a privilege.
With respect to the electronic devices, we've obtained a warrant to search them and so will be retaining them as evidence.
Red Flags 2
- Concerns about the handling of privileged communications on seized electronic devices.
- Discussion of the recusal of the SD Fla and involvement of the ND Ga, potentially indicating jurisdictional issues or conflicts of interest.
