The state of New Mexico tried to investigate. The Feds claimed jurisdiction and forced them to stand down. Then did nothing.

In 2019, shortly after Epstein’s arrest in New York, New Mexico’s Attorney General Hector Balderas opened a state-level inquiry into potential crimes connected to Zorro Ranch.

That effort was halted after federal prosecutors in Manhattan requested that New Mexico “cease any investigation into sex trafficking” and that they “would pass along any information [federal investigators] may have gathered about state crimes that were committed.”

Subsequent emails released by the Justice Department indicate that federal authorities ultimately had “not searched the New Mexico property.”

“”The state of New Mexico tried to investigate. The Feds claimed jurisdiction and forced them to stand down. Then did nothing.”””

The Feds can’t force a state to stop investigating a state crime. Why did Biden/ Garland shut this down? Why weren’t the democrats dragging out the “survivors” during that time frame? Why didn’t the “survivors” just name names? Now they blame Bondi for not going after people that they won’t name. It’s a coverup by AG Bondi, right?
