Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice asked New Mexico investigators to shut down a 2019 probe into a ranch owned by convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein.

Comer joined Fox News’s Jesse Watters on Tuesday evening after New Mexico authorities searched a ranch in the state once owned by Epstein. Victims of Epstein have said they were trafficked at the ranch. This is the second time the property has been investigated.

The property was being probed in 2019, but federal investigators reportedly took over and shut things down. Epstein died of an apparent suicide in 2019 while incarcerated awaiting sex trafficking charges. Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, said on Tuesday:

The federal government asked New Mexico to stop their investigation, I believe, back in 2019 of that ranch. So there’s just so many questions about how the government failed, the victims and how government failed in trying to prosecute Epstein sooner. I mean, this whole thing doesn’t make sense. Everyone has conspiracy theories on how Epstein was able to get away with it. Was it because he had powerful friends? Was it because he was an agent? We don’t know, but we’re gonna find out and I’m glad that they’re on the ground now in New Mexico searching that property.

The "conspiracy theories" were and still are, the core of the GOP QAnon faction. Bondi proclaimed that she had the Epstein client files "sitting on my desk right now".

It’s disgusting that they practiced their satanic rituals here in this beautiful state.

7. There will be literal bodies.

He may have tried to destroy evidence with lyr to saponify or sulfuric acid. But there will be evidence...and some of it may be teeth or other things are super resilient to getting DNA evidence.

There may be hidden storage areas with video or other blackmail and kompromat material.

3. Fuck them! Let's start by explaining why THEY didn't investigate this

YEARS and YEARS ago?

9. I've been getting a lot sent to me by my NM family. This came to me this morning

I don't know a lot about substack but I found this one from Dissent in Bloom very interesting It seems to be a series of articles

https://dissentinbloom.substack.com/p/new-mexico-finally-wants-answers?fbclid=IwY2xjawQebVBleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE3UXUxZjlONkppVHA4RDZTc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHo6s8tPWd9cW0SEnp-jRoBVxwiTbiDmcnOOXa4VHxLqmzaa7JocIT4qFx0ap_aem_YfgFJlbkREnf9DmpSPcwSA

The year is 1993. Jeffrey Epstein writes a check for $12.5 million and Bruce King, former governor of New Mexico, hands over the keys to Zorro Ranch. What changed hands isn't just real estate, but 10,000 acres (15 square miles) of isolation, along with six underground floors.

It is located 30 miles from Santa Fe, 50 miles from Los Alamos National Laboratory, and 20 miles from the Santa Fe Institute, and yet much further than that from anyone paying attention. Epstein launched his human trafficking operation here, sustaining it through connections with powerful figures.

And yet the FBI never conducted a formal investigation of this place — not even when they were given a tip about buried bodies on the property.

In fact, the federal government actively prevented the state of New Mexico from investigating claiming it could jeopardize an ongoing federal investigation and compromise potential charges.

11. What was that "ongoing Federal investigation" ? Produce the records ! nt

[Autumn]

16. There are several article with a lot of information and the author provides links to back it up

This article begins in 1993 at Epstein's Zorro Ranch when he first bought the ranch. So far what I have seen is very interesting. Even back then it seemed to be obviously sketchy.

12. Thanks for sharing this link, Autumn. There's info drawn together that I haven't seen before. Compellingly damning.

[Autumn]

17. New Mexico Author Alisa Valdes Rodriguez has written a lot about this. She's on FB and posts a lot

on her page Look her up. I read about the new owners she posted yesterday. It's an interesting read.

18. no words...

[druidity33]

19. That was a fascinating read. Thank you. K&R, nt.

[Autumn]

20. If you are on FB search for New Mexico Author Alisa Valdes Rodriguez. She has a series

of articles she has written on Epstein's Zorro Ranch

[Bristlecone]

10. "Failed?" No, they tried to cover up

Failed indicates that a mistake was made, but this was intentional.

[BidenRocks]

13. Epstein with a shovel?

I don't see that. He would have hired help for the dirty work and the help can be sloppy when nobody is watching.

I also don't see the workers making a burial map. Easy evidence.

LIDAR may help finding old, seldom used roads used to service the ranch.

Good luck!

[FakeNoose]

14. In 2019 the Attorney General wasn't Bondi ... it was Bill Barr

Isn't it time the House Oversight Committee started asking Barr some pertinent questions?

[Martin68]

15. Yes, the DOJ is working 24/7 to cover up Trump's complicity in the Epstein pedophile ring. It's hard to do because

Trump figures so prominently and frequently in the files.
