Former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas says his 2019 investigation into Jeffrey Epsteins activities at Zorro Ranch was abruptly halted after federal officials asked him to pause so they could take the lead. Balderas agreed, expecting coordination, but records show the FBI never searched the New Mexico property and federal prosecutors later abandoned the case without notifying him.
Emails reveal internal FBI concerns about the lack of a search, yet federal authorities claimed they lacked probable cause. Balderas found this alarming, saying his office could have helped secure a warrant and offered repeated assistance but never heard back. He believes key evidence may have been lost and describes the experience as early signs of a cover-up. Years later, New Mexicos current attorney general still has not received unredacted DOJ files on Zorro Ranch.

Anyplace that Epstein lived or did business could have held video footage of underage girls.
Just on the child pornography basis alone every known place he owned would have been approved.

(5,009 posts)... HILLARY'S EMAILS!
As we wade through the fetid swamp that is Trump's fevered mind, it is impossible to ignore the poisonous evil that surrounds anything and everything even tangentially associated with this repulsive pig of a man.
But tired, shopworn nonissues (like Hillary's emails) that Trump and his malignant minions persist in throwing in everyone's faces whenever they're caught redhanded doing the only things they know how to do, which are lying, cheating, stealing, and occasionally killing, are no longer having the effect these shitbirds are hoping for. Anyone with the reasoning power of a potted plant can instantly see though their bullshit, and they're fucking sick of it.
We've only seen the tip of a very ugly iceberg as far as Trump's association with Epstein is concerned, and the fallout, once all is revealed, is going to taint a LOT of people, and they'll deserve the consequences. Oh, but Donnie, baby, you're in for a beating the likes of which no one has ever seen before, to paraphrase your own gaslighting. And no one is gonna want your foul name on ANYTHING ever again. I, for one, hope I never have to even hear it vomited forth ever again.
America will survive, however diminished because of this short-fingered vulgarian and his oily sycophants, but any that enabled him will soon know the pain of being shunned and ostracized for the rest of their rotten lives because of that incredibly poor judgement.
You broke it; you own it, assholes.
