Alleged link between Alan Dershowitz, Jeffrey Epstein, and flight‑log evidence in FBI investigation

89 oraoos 1 according to a -- to a later FBI report, Alessi or407 2 identified information that was pertinent to the FBI's ot4oo7 3 investigation. orton 4 And so when I look at the little black book onora 5 that I have seen copies of, there are a handful of names ovo? 6 in that black book that have been circled, apparently by oraoz22 7 Mr. Rodriguez, and one of the names that's -- that has o4023 8 been circled is Alan Dershowitz. And so that, to me, oraox0 9 was suggesting that Mr. Rodriguez had identified, you oo3s 10 know, Alan Dershowitz as somebody who had information ot4o3a 11 about this -- this international sex trafficking ring, oraoao 12 But just as a side note, but an important orsoaz 13 note, when the -- the thing that was circled on the Alan oraoes 14 Dershowitz page was not a single phone number ov4oz9 15 indicating, you know, somebody had bumped -- you know, ovaost 16 Epstein had bumped into at one point. I believe there ovoss 17 were 10 or 11 phone numbers that were associated with o:4087 18 Mr. Dershowitz that had all been circled and an e-mail o4i00 19 address as well. orato2 20 So that started to corroborate my sense that ota0s 21 Mr, Dershowitz was, indeed, a very close friend of ovatto 22 Jeffrey Epstein. Now, I had then continued to do -- ovata 23 there's been reference today to, you know, using Google oraine 24 todo research and so forth.

What I can ovataa 12 remember right now is that in the Vanity Fair article, orats3 13 the -- in the Vanity Fair article, Mr. Dershowitz said, oraiso 14 ‘I've written 20-some odd books; there's only one person 014203 15 outside my immediate family with whom I share drafts, ovaz08 16 and that's Jeffrey Epstein. orazos 17 So I took that as indicating a -- a very oazt0 18 close personal association that -- you know, among the o14213 19 people that -- that obviously he's sharing this -- these oraz1s 20 kinds of things that he wants evaluated before he shares ot4218 21 them with the broader world, there's his immediate 014221 22 family and then there's -- there's Jeffrey Epstein. orar2s 23 There was also another similar quote in the o14z24 24 article that indicated that -- that Mr. Dershowitz said o14229 25 that he wasn't interested in Epstein just because he had ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 23 of 38 sheets 04:43:41 01:43:43 04:43:45 01:43:48 04:43:50 04:43:52 01:43:54 01:63:56 01:44:02 01:44:04 01:44:07 01:44:08 01:44:11 01:44:15 01:44:20 01:44:23 01:44:25 04:44:27 01:44:34 04:44:35 01:44:39 04:44:45 04:44:46 01:44:49 01:44:52 ON Pah Wh = <a) 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 On Ooah Wh = 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Page 89 to 92 of 151 91 a lot of money. I mean, Epstein was identified as a billionaire in this article, billionaire with -- with a B, so the record is clear. But he said, look, if Epstein lost all his money -~ I'm paraphrasing here -- I would be, you know, happy to walk down, you know, the Coney Island Boardwalk with him and discuss things with him, as -- you know, even if he didn't have any money. So now I'm seeing Dershowitz is a very close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein. And then I started to look at flight logs. There were -- there were some very interesting things that I noticed on the flight logs. One of the things I noticed was when I began to, you know, get into this, that, you know, I was wondering, well, what -- well, how do these flight logs come into the possession of, you know, law enforcement agencies? And the answer turned out to be that they had been provided by Epstein’s defense attorney and -~- and, you know, coincidentally, I suppose, or in my mind, suspiciously, they were not provided by just any defense attorney on this rather large defense team. They were provided by one attorney according to Detective Recarey. Detective Recarey testified under oath that the flight logs were provided to him by Alan Dershowitz. ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 92 So one of the things that was -- was interesting is, Dershowitz has had access to these flight logs, and now I'm beginning to wonder, well, has there been an opportunity to sanitize those flight logs or remove any incriminating information? And -- and one of the things that was interesting about the flight logs that were produced -- I believe just so the record is clear, that was Exhibit 1 that -- if we could -- if I could refer -- I need to refresh my recollection as to -- well, I don't -~ you may not want me to look at documents, It was either Exhibit 1 or 2 this morning during Dershowitz's deposition which was covering a time period of January to, I believe, September 2005. These were flight logs that were produced by Mr. Dershowitz to the Palm Beach Police Department. And you wonder why did they stop in September -- you know, why stop in September 2005? What's the significance of that? Well, later on, additional flight logs were obtained, and sure enough, who shows up on an October 2005 flight log with Jeffrey Epstein? Mr. Dershowitz. So that led to a suspicion that Mr. Dershowitz had provided to the Palm Beach Police Department flight logs that, the time period of which ESQUIRE DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS (954) 331-4400 10/20/2015 01:07:28 PM HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_010832
