There’s not a lot of conserving ofanything going on there any more, other than the interest of a very small number of lobbyists and donors. And it’s been that way for a generation or more now

He is speaking only to the part of the audience that will align the two event without issue. He always does that what make him so dangerous, there are many, who will never give any thought to rational analysis ofanything he utters.

His elitism seeps out of him. He has no self awareness, no humbleness, no true concern ofanything beyond his own needs. He exudes being pampered all his life withthe capacity for pouting & whining when things didn't go his way. He has no authenticity & you know, he would betray youfor hisown gain.

EFTA01977641 | EFTA01977642 Dear All, I can't thinking ofanything more interesting than spending an afternoon talking with David Deutsch. So here's a preview of a new EDGE piece which includes a 47-minute video which is worth every minute of your very valuable time. Hope you enjoy it. Comments for a Reality Club discussion are welcome. In addition, we're trying something new for this edition - using an artist's representational drawing rather than the usual photo. We're divided on it - some of us like it. Some don't. I would appreciate any feedback you may have.

No way, you mean the same network of channels that keep Michael Waltrip on payroll?
Michael Waltrip mentioned in the Epstein files: "To: Jeffre E teirfeevacationSgmail.com] From: Sent Thur 5/30/2013 7:01:57 PM Subject: Re: The general manager ofMWR called • to ask about it. Someone sent them an email with links to some articles about me, the one with me and Story and Prince Andrew. I was on the call as well..I may have misunderstood, but it sounded like he said there was an article on Gawker that talked about dating me and referencing that story. He could have been referring to an old Gawker link the person may have emailed to them as well. We then called the 2 owners ofMWR, Rob Kauffman and Michael Waltrip to discuss with them and answer any questions they may have. They are good with it on a personal level, but said they have to keep the best interest of the team in mind and the CEO of Aaron's is the kind of person who doesn't even want someone holding a beer in their hands while wearing an Aarons shirt. Rob doesn't think they will care what the truth really is, just what the perception is. They don't intend to bring it to Aaron's attention right now and are hoping they won't find out. We are going to try and confirm with MWR who sent the email, but we think its a girl B has had issues with in the past who is behind the blog. We think she's the one who also emailed his current sponsor, Dollar General. We have been working with a web reputation company for me. Before when you googled girlfriend" the first thing that came up was the blog which was saying nasty things about us. They wanted to push that down in the list, so they needed to create content with that term to move to the top. Also, when you googled my name, the first thing that would come up was the article about Prince Andrew, so they are trying to push that down too. Rob has asked that we hire a lawyer to (1/2) go through the documents online and to basically write a statement saying they've researched the case and that I was never convicted ofanything and that all the articles are slanderous and gossip and overblown. has a lawyer he uses in NC he's going to have do this. He may want to speak with Jack if that's OK. We won't give the statement to anyone unless its necessary if sponsors question it. They just think its a good thing to have a third party professional statement since there is nothing out there from me or any statements denying my involvement. On May 30, 2013, at 7:15 AM, Jeffrey Epstein leevacation@gmail,com> wrote: ask who exactly who called and what did they say? the only bad story on line we can find are from a blog with two or three retards, this can't be it. Im not sure why you have your the girlfriend blog. that attracts nuts and unnecessary attention."

EFTA01657063 | EFTA01657068 726 R. FISHER, E. GE1SELMAN, AND M. AMADOR Because the Cognitive Interview is more complex and encourages more extensive and focused retrieval. we expected it to take longer to conduct than the standard police interview Such differences have been found in previous laboratory studies (Fisher, Geiselman, Raymond, Jurkevich, & Warhaftig, 1987; Geiselman et al., 1985); however, in neither of these two studies was the extra time responsible for the superiority of the Cognitive Interview. In the present study, the interview times were surprisingly similar for the various interviews. The posttrained interviews of the trained detectives (11.47 min) were not reliably longer than their pretrained interviews( l0.65 min) or than those conducted by the untrained detectives (9.05 min). both h's< I, = (1, 6) and (I, II), and Atces = 10.587 and 21.295, respectively. Of the sewn trained detectives, four took more time to conduct posttrained interviews than pretrained interviews, and three took less time. In this study, therefore, the observed superiority of the Cognitive Interview over the standard police interview was not due to differences in interview time. Discussion The overall pattern of data—an increase in the amount of investigatively relevant information accompanied by extremely high corroboration ratcs--provides strong support for the effectiveness of the Cognitive Interview in field investigations. Training in the Cognitive Interview enhanced performance in both the before-after and the between-groups comparisons. Six of the seven detectives improved with training; only the one detective who did not use the technique as intended did not improve. In the between-groups comparison, the two groups of detectives were equivalent before training, as judged by their supervisors and by empirical observations. After training, the trained detectives elicited 63% more information. That the effectiveness of the training was comparable for the before-after and between-groups comparisons suggests that the conclusions are unlikely to be a product ofanything unique to either design. Furthermore, the magnitude of the effect (50%-60% improvement) is reasonably dose to what we would expect on the basis of the previous laboratory findings, in which the revised technique was 45% more effective than the original (Fisher Geiselman. Raymond, Jurkevich, & Warhaftig, 1987), which, in turn, was 25%-35% more effective than standard police interviews (Geiselman et al., 1985; Geiselman, Fisher, Cohen, et al., 1986). The similarity of the corroboration rates associated with the Cognitive Interview and with standard police interviews also mirrors the findings from our laboratory studies, in which aeonracy rates were equivalent. In sum, the Cognitive Interview increased the effectiveness of investigative interviews without any apparent negative consequences. How does the Cognitive Interview compare with other memory-enhancing techniques used by investigative interviewers? Historically, little training has been provided to law-enforcement interviewers to enhance the recollection of cooperative witnesses. Similarly, there is no formal training in memory-enhancement techniques for law students or attorneys to conduct effective interviews with clients, even though the fact-finding stage is often critical to successful legal inquiry (Fisher, 1986). We know of no formal technique other than hypnosis that appears regularly in the training of investigative interviewers, at least for memory-enhancement purposes. How does the Cogni- tive Interview compare with hypnosis? Although we have never directly compared the current version of the Cognitive Interview with hypnosis, Fisher, Geisclman, Raymond, Jurlcevich, and Warhaftig (1987) found that in similar observing conditions across two experiments, the Cognitive Interview elicited 33.4% more correct information than did hypnosis. The Cognitive Interview also is not beset with the problems sometimes found with hypnosis. The Cognitive Interview does not lead to increased error rates and does not render respondents hypersuggestible to leading questions; if anything, it mitigates the effect (Geiselman, Fisher, MacKinnon, et al., 1986). Yuillc and Kim (1987) recently analyzed several police hypnosis interviews and found that interviewers frequently used some components of the Cognitive Interview. Yuille and Kim concluded that "the advantage of hypnosis found in the present study has nothing to do with hypnosis. . . . [Instead) the cognitive interview is the 'active' memory component ofhypnosis" (p. 427). Because the Cognitive Interview has been a reliable technique to enhance recall, yet has none of the negative consequences of hypnosis, it has been suggested as a preferable alternative (Delfenbacher 1988; Orne, as cited in Commonwealth v. Di Nicole', 1985), and one that should be more acceptable by the courts (Yoffie & Kim, 1987). In addition to its technical merit, the Cognitive Interview has considerable practical utility; that is, (a) the technique can be learned within a few hours, (b)it requires little theoretical background or previous training, and (c) it is easily administered. Finally, because the technique is based primarily on proper timing, sequencing, and phrasing of questions, the respondent should not perceive that any special intervention is occurring. As such, eyewitnesses should have no apprehensions about participating in this form of interview. Although the Cognitive Interview is an effective investigative instrument. there are a few limitations. First, its usefulness may vary from one event to another Its primary contribution for police will be in cases such as commercial robbery or battery, in which the bulk of the evidence comes from eyewitness reports, as opposed to crimes that rely more heavily on physical evidence. Second, the Cognitive Interview can be used only with cooperative witnesses. Witnesses who wish to withhold information intentionally will not be "broken" by the Cognitive Interview. Third, although our study found no differences between the time taken to conduct the Cognitive Interview and a standard interview; we expect that the Cognitive Interview takes somewhat longer. It can be used to greatest effect, therefore, when there is ample time to conduct the interview. Finally. the Cognitive Interview requires considerable mental concentration on the part of the interviewer He or she must make more on-line decisions and show greater flexibility than is typically demonstrated in standard police interviews. In that sense, it is probably more difficult to conduct the Cognitive Interview than the standard interview. As with other skills, however, with practice, many of the resource-demanding mental operations required initially will he handled automatically. Because this version of the Cognitive Interview contains several components, we cannot be sure which of the suggested techniques are primarily responsible for its overall effectiveness. Some components may have only marginal value. Others may vary depending on the specific features of the interview, for example, whether the witness is a child or an adult and whether EFTA01657068
