🚨 BREAKING: Former New Mexico AG Hector Balderas reveals federal prosecutors asked his office to HALT its investigation into sex trafficking at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in 2019 promising to share information in return.
They never did.
"Cooperation was a one-way relationship."
New Mexico handed over police reports, witness interviews & investigative records to the Southern District of New York. In return? Silence.
Balderas urged feds to SEIZE Zorro Ranch in 2020 to preserve criminal evidence files, video recordings. No response.
None of NM's investigative records appear among the 3M+ pages DOJ released last month.
The investigation was "gutted" just weeks before Epstein died in custody.
Now NM AG Raúl Torrez is reopening the probe and a legislative truth-finding commission with subpoena power has been formed.
The investigation should have been BROADENED, not narrowed.
Who was being protected?

Amazing the total connections. I think Epstein was a world-class psychopath.

Epstein had a central role in what is most likely the biggest criminal organization the world has ever known.
