Kenneth Starr’s email to Mark Filip wasn’t just a lawyer whining about aggressive prosecutors—it was a calculated appeal to the very power center that ultimately let Epstein walk. Starr complained bitterly that the Florida team was digging too hard and treating Epstein like an actual criminal instead of the elite figure his defense team believed he was. What Starr was really doing was pressuring Filip—one of the highest-ranking officials in the Department of Justice—to step in and shut down a legitimate investigation. And the troubling part is that the email landed exactly where Epstein’s legal machine wanted it: at the top of Main Justice, the same place that would go on to bless the non-prosecution agreement. The narrative that Alex Acosta “acted alone” collapses under the weight of communications like this. Starr wasn’t appealing to Acosta. He was appealing above him—because that’s where the real decision-making power sat.


Filip’s role in all this is even more damning when you consider the final outcome. DOJ headquarters didn’t just look the other way—they authorized the sweetheart deal. They were the backstop that allowed Epstein’s legal team to bypass federal prosecutors who wanted to charge Epstein with crimes carrying real prison time. Filip didn’t just receive the email; Main Justice effectively delivered what Epstein’s lawyers asked for. The infamous non-prosecution agreement wasn’t Acosta freelancing—it was Washington signing off. The email illustrates how Epstein’s team successfully moved the fight out of Florida and into D.C., where connections, prestige, and pressure carried far more weight than the testimony of dozens of abused children. Filip and Main Justice weren’t bystanders—they were the reason the deal happened.
