Now we know why New Mexico didn't properly investigate Zorro Ranch evidence.

They were apparently one of several law enforcement agencies instructed to stand down in the investigation.

1. It appears that the powers that be thought this entire pedophile ring

Would die with Epstein

[Irish_Dem]

2. How does one pedophile become so powerful?

[Wicked Blue]

8. Blackmail

[Irish_Dem]

13. Had to be much more than that.

Extensive global sex ring involving the most powerful and rich men in the world.
If Epstein was black mailing them, they could have easy disposed of him sooner than they did.

He was untouchable even to them.

[Wicked Blue]

17. Epstein wasn't the only blackmailer

DJT might have been involved, Putin was involved, and who knows how many other powerful shady people in other countries were in on the blackmail.

[Irish_Dem]

19. I think Putin, CIA, Mossad, MI6.

[Wicked Blue]

28. Absolutely

[Trueblue Texan]

18. I'm also convinced it was more than the sex ring...

It was an international plot, stealing state secrets, blackmailing, manipulating markets, consolidating wealth, holding working families hostage to increase the wealth of an international oligarchy and concentrating power in the hands of a few very evil people. Accountability must be severe and guaranteed.

20. This is the ONLY explanation that makes any sense.

There is no way this was just a sex ring.
No way.

You should take this comment TT and make it an OP.
You are spot on.

[Trueblue Texan]

21. Done. I think.nt

[Irish_Dem]

30. Excellent!

You did great.

[MuirHero]

23. Absolutely!

3. The FIRST Trump administration did the ordering.

From Raw Story:

A bombshell report revealed Monday that under the first Trump administration, the FBI appeared to have issued a “stand down” order to New York Police Department investigators regarding their criminal probe into Jeffrey Epstein, an order that came just five days after the disgraced financier’s arrest in 2019.

The existence of the supposed directive was revealed by law professor and legal scholar Ryan Goodman, who found it buried within the Justice Department's recent release of around 3.5 million files on Epstein.

“The directive applied to NYPD’s Special Victims Unit – the group specially trained and equipped to handle sex crimes and child abuse cases,” Goodman wrote in a report published Monday in Just Security, a non-partisan law and policy journal.

10. THIS ... and certainly contributed to the fat asses

determination to run again in 24. Actually, he kind of had to … or risk possibly being imprisoned for life.

Where the fuck was Garland? And Wray?! Oh yeah, Garland was an appeasement choice (i.e, right of center) for SCOTUS that McAsshole torpedoed and Biden appointed to show them!; and Wray was appointed by the fat-ass himself — another semi-appeasement in itself by demonstrably playing by the rules when the other side had thrown the rules out!

Admittedly subjective and partly unfair on my part — but in the end, that’s exactly how it kinda turned out and partly why we’re in this god/damned clusterfuck! It pretty darned frustrating and really really sucks!

4. It's so obvious.

ANY TIME an intelligence agency in the US decides to stand down in an investigation, it should call for an investigation.

[John Farmer]

5. If there are hidden graves at Aorro Ranch,

They may well be hidden from the current owner.


The tech to examine the entire property for recent graves remains to be employed.

[bluestarone]

6. So, where is this at?

Anybody doing any investigating anywhere on that ranch? Not hearing anything.

[Trueblue Texan]

22. The state of New Mexico is investigating now. nt

[Botany]

7. Cover up of rape, murder, and kidnapping by Trump.

Why is he still President?

[Alice Kramden]

9. Because he serves at Putin's pleasure

And according to Putin, he's doing a great job

[MerryBlooms]

14. Way bigger than Putin,it's global and it's the most powerful

[MuirHero]

24. Is this the global Devil worshipping cult that QAnon was constantly squawking about?

[Ilikepurple]

27. I think so too, but don't think it's a unitary conspiracy.

I think Epstein was just at the crossroads of many of the world’s nefarious doings whether political, financial, sexual, or military. Maybe too much for any country to want to open the can and let the worms fall out. I think if Putin had that kind of power over other leaders, he would have made more headway in the last 10 years. I’ll just say I don’t think it’s more than one conspiracy, but not the type where everybody’s on the same page except wanting to suppress or minimize evidence. Of course this is just me placing some narrative on what little I know to try to make sense out of it. I’ll be glad to modify my thoughts if more information ever gets out.

26. Trump seems to be Netanyu's puppet

Most all Americans are against war with Iran but Trump doing what Netanyu wants. It must be some horrific stuff Epstein gave Israel.

In the Epstein files, Jeffry and Bannon are talking about Trump being a super borderline. Even the psychopaths calling out Trump for a personality disorder plus saying if he became president, the 25th amendment should be used. But the were all into money laundering around the whole world.

[GiqueCee]

11. Why is he still...

... stumbling around loose and not busy smearing feces all over his 8 x 10 cell?

[Attilatheblond]

12. Guessing part of the reason is that blackmail is still going on

GOP pols who went to Russia were idiots beyond compare.

[MerryBlooms]

15. Of course, and explains Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, etc...

[Attilatheblond]

25. Has Lindsey shown up to anything sober lately?

Every time he shows up in a news clip, he is extremely cranky and looks 3 sheets to the wind, as my mom used to say. That boy ain't been OK since those files started trickling out.

[MerryBlooms]

16. The falling out between Trump and Epstein was probably due to trump

Skimming money, or scamming people and taking money he wasn't sharing with the epstein enterprise. Trump tried to spin it to his advantage, any way possible. Trump was a partner, maybe not originally, but I believe, for some years.

[czarjak]

29. The scary part.

The worst is yet to come?
