I've been compiling notable quotes from the 2016 deposition transcripts that were unsealed. Here's what stands out:
**Page 47, Lines 12-18:**

The legal terminology here is interesting. "LegalEagle99" - can you explain what "proffer" means in this context?
Full document: Case No. 1:15-cv-07433-RWS
Trying to understand the support structure. The documents mention various staff members:
**Confirmed Roles:**
- Pilots (multiple, named in flight logs)
- House managers (Palm Beach, NYC, USVI)
- Personal assistants
- Security personnel
**Legal Status:**
- Several granted immunity in 2008 NPA
- Two testified in Maxwell trial
- One cooperated with 2019 investigation
I'm not posting names here per sub rules, but the HOC documents have them.
Question for LegalEagle99: Can immunity agreements be revoked if the person lied during the proffer?
This still confuses me. The US Attorney who signed off on the NPA became Secretary of Labor, then resigned in disgrace when the deal became public again.
But he was never charged with anything. Why?
The DOJ OPR investigation found "professional misconduct" but recommended no criminal referral. The report is partially public (DOJ-OPR-2020-001).
Is there a legal theory under which his actions were criminal? Or was this just prosecutorial discretion that we don't like but isn't illegal?
This comes up constantly and there's a lot of misinformation. Here's what the actual flight logs show:
**Documented flights (from released logs):**
- Multiple trips confirmed on N908JE
- Destinations included Africa (documented humanitarian trip)
- Asia trips also documented
- TIST (St. Thomas) trips: Logs show several instances
**What Secret Service records show:**
- USSS accompanied on some trips
- SS has separate records (not fully released)
**What's NOT confirmed:**
- Claims beyond what logs show
- Specific island visits require manifest cross-referencing
I'm not defending anyone - just trying to keep us accurate. Document what's provable.

The August 2019 death at Metropolitan Correctional Center remains controversial.
**Official findings:**
- Medical examiner: Suicide by hanging
- DOJ investigation: Multiple failures by staff
- Two guards charged, later acquitted
**Documented failures:**
- Removed from suicide watch early
- Guards falsified check logs
- Cameras malfunctioned
- Cellmate transferred night before
**What documents show:**
- MCC inspection reports from 2018 show chronic understaffing
- Previous incidents at facility
- Guards working overtime shifts
I'm not saying what happened. I'm saying the documented failures are extraordinary.
