Notable Quotes 3
Determinations under Touhy are somewhat discretionary and to the extent our Office exercised discretion to give the W something the W wanted, that could be construed as a benefit. Here, it's a benefit to her civil case. You can see how that might be developed on cross.
BTW, I probably don't need to tell you, our Touhy communications with El are probably disclosable as Giglio info.
We intend to tell them that N.D. Ga. has stepped into the shoes of S.D. Fla. For Epstein purposes, that they can submit a request there (or to S.D. Fla.) for the materials they're seeking, and possibly provide them with a contact at N.D. Ga. if they ask.
