Summary
A page from a transcript where a speaker, identified as a former federal prosecutor and judge, discusses drawing adverse inferences because three women—Sarah Kellen, Miss Mucinska, and Miss Marcinkova—invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about Alan Dershowitz. The speaker identifies Jeffrey Epstein as the 'kingpin' of an 'international sex trafficking organization' and notes that these three women, described as the 'next echelon,' were covered by a 'highly unusual' nonprosecution agreement.

1 But what I discovered there was that when
2 Sarah Kellen was asked about Alan Dershowitz, she took
3 the Fifth and she wasn't the only one. There was
4 Miss Mucinska who also took the Fifth when asked
5 questions about Alan Dershowitz.
6 And then there was Marcin -- Miss Marcinkova
7 who also took the Fifth. So what we -- what I had at
8 this point was Jeffrey Epstein's international sex
9 trafficking organization. I had the next echelon and
10 both the top kingpin of the sex trafficking organization
11 and the next echelon had taken the Fifth, had refused to
12 answer questions about Alan Dershowitz.
13 And so at that point, I was drawing an
14 adverse inference, not just from one person, but from
15 four persons and that adverse inference was being
16 strengthened by the surrounding circumstances, some of

25 four years, I had been a federal judge for about
