Quoted Evidence
“"Sweetheart deal!" So goes the critique of the resolution of a long-ago case involving our former client -- and now-friend -- Jeffrey Epstein... His offense to the social order -- involving sex for hire -- was entirely a matter entrusted to laws of the several States, not the federal government.”

Reasoning
This is a legal rebuttal/defense document. Per the DENIAL/REBUTTAL rule, the trafficking assessment applies to the underlying allegations being contested, not the act of rebuttal itself. The rebuttal does not constitute trafficking activity and characterizes conduct as 'solicitation of prostitution' rather than trafficking-a deliberate minimization consistent with defense strategy, not trafficking indicators.
