However, the AG, Mukasey, was a close enough friend of Giuliani and Kerick to recuse himself in all cases related to them. We know Giuliani was close to Trump. Could he also have been close to Epstein? Consider that Giuliani was considered a possible nominee in 2008. (Remember Biden skewering him as 911, a noun and a verb and his strategy to not participate in any state before Florida.) Could he have been the one protected by the sweetheart deal?

Note that although Gonzales, his predecessor was subpoenaed, Mukasey wasn't.
