But other than referring the two parties to the Bar, you never entered, to your recollection, striking a party's pleadings; is that right? A. That's right. Q. Okay. I want to ask you a few questions about the issue of striking pleadings. Would you agree with me that courts generally disfavor a motion to strike? A. No. Q. And that striking allegations from a pleading is a drastic remedy to be resorted to only when required for the purposes of justice and only when the allegations to be stricken have no possible relation to the controversy? A. I think that's what some courts have said, yes. Q. And is it fair to say -- is that what you represented to the court in response to Professor Dershowitz's application to intervene? A. That's right. Q. And you wouldn't have represented that to the court unless you believed it to be accurate; is that right? A. That's right. ROUGH DRAFT ONLY

Alleged criminal extortion plot discussed during Alan Dershowitz's 2015 Broward County deposition

Alleged criminal extortion plot discussed during Alan Dershowitz's 2015 Broward County deposition The passage references a claim that Alan Dershowitz disclosed a criminal extortion scheme involving unnamed clients during a deposition, and mentions related defamation lawsuits. While the details are vague and unverified, the involvement of a high‑profile attorney and a federal courtroom provides a concrete lead (date, location, parties) that could be pursued. The claim is moderately controversial and potentially sensitive, but it lacks clear novelty and specific financial details, limiting its score. Key insights: Dershowitz allegedly told lawyers Brad Edwards and Paul Cassell that "your clients were involved" in a criminal extortion plot.; The statement was made on October 15, 2015, during a deposition in Broward County, Florida.; Bradley and Cassell had sued Dershowitz for defamation, and Dershowitz had filed a countersuit.

Civil lawsuit alleges Epstein‑Maxwell sex‑trafficking scheme tied to federal plea negotiations and possible high‑level cover‑up

Civil lawsuit alleges Epstein‑Maxwell sex‑trafficking scheme tied to federal plea negotiations and possible high‑level cover‑up The passage provides concrete allegations from a civil complaint (named plaintiff Ransome) that Jeffrey Epstein recruited a young masseuse with promises of fashion‑design work, kept her passport, and forced sex with powerful figures. It links the timeline to a non‑prosecution agreement negotiated by federal prosecutors (including an unnamed Acosta) and notes that the deal quashed an FBI investigation. The mention of Prince Andrew, [REDACTED - Survivor], and potential involvement of senior DOJ officials gives actionable leads (names, dates, alleged transactions) that merit follow‑up, though the claims are unverified and rely on a single civil filing. Key insights: Ransome’s civil complaint (filed Jan 2017) alleges Epstein promised career help in exchange for sex and kept her passport.; Complaint ties alleged abuse to the period when Epstein’s lawyers were negotiating a non‑prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors (Acosta et al.).; The plea deal allowed Epstein to plead guilty to state prostitution charges, receive a private‑wing jail sentence, and allegedly halted an FBI probe into an international trafficking network.

Dershowitz seeks to seal Giuffre affidavit in Edwards‑Cassell defamation case, claims media attacks are fabricated

Dershowitz seeks to seal Giuffre affidavit in Edwards‑Cassell defamation case, claims media attacks are fabricated The passage hints at a possible concealment of evidence in a high‑profile defamation dispute involving Alan Dershowitz, a prominent attorney, and references the infamous Giuffre allegations. While it names well‑known legal figures, it provides no concrete financial transactions, dates, or new factual revelations beyond already public claims, limiting its investigative utility. However, the suggestion that a court record may be sealed to hide potentially damaging testimony offers a moderate lead for further document‑review and freedom‑of‑information requests. Key insights: Dershowitz requests the court to declare portions of Ms. Giuffre’s affidavit confidential.; He publicly denies the allegations on BBC Radio 4, framing them as a coordinated false‑story campaign.; Dershowitz threatens perjury prosecution against accusers and seeks disbarment of opposing counsel.

It provides specific dates, alleged actions, and mentions lawsuits, offering concrete leads for further investigation (e.g., subpoena of attorney communications, review of police search evidence). While many details are already public, the editorial context adds new angles on legal strategy and potential financial motives. Key insights: Epstein allegedly used MySpace to recruit a 13‑year‑old and other minors.; Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and former prosecutor Kenneth Starr were on Epstein’s legal team.; Jack Goldberger reportedly told a columnist the case would end without trial within two months.
