New Mexico lived up to its end of the agreement, ending its investigation and providing police reports, recorded witness interviews and other investigative records to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, former Attorney General Hector Balderas said last week.
Hector Balderas
Balderas, who served as attorney general from 2014 to 2022, said he is unaware that federal investigators provided any information to New Mexico officials that could have led to criminal prosecutions here.
Cooperation between the two agencies "was a one-way relationship," he said.

Wow. The cover up is intense. It’s so insane.
It’s also very expensive.
American lives squanderd by Trump in a war started to try to keep Epstein files toppling him from power.

It is amazing how many. BUT many more people of comparable wealth and influence were not involved.
Good point. Still feels like so many people - more than just a few bad actors.
Yes, slavery too was more than just a few bad apples. A whole swath of immorality and depravity. Even at the highest level of our govt, many found fathers and others were so depraved - slavery, white male supremacy, denying basic human rights to the majority of the population, what they did to the Native Americans - stealing their land, ripping apart families, torturing and abusing children.
I see that you agree with my previous point, but I feel like your frame of reference is off. Morality did not flow from the top down on these issues.
There is plenty of evidence, Harvard elites were funded by slavery after the civil war. The academics loved to go down to Cuba to study plant physiology on plantations... slave plantations that is. It's pretty much the same idea, same Harvard elites.
Like it or not Suffrage for women movement was born in the Midwest, like the abolitionists before.
?? You are not the PP that the post just above responds to. I am.
I am unclear on the point you are trying to make, but I certainly wouldn't use "Harvard" as a catch-all for anything I find elitist.
You seem to think people at the highest level are somehow more moral than the rest of us. EG "Even". Slavery was the institution carried out by the rich. It was their laws. They bought the boats and traded the slaves.

There is only one thing that Trump knows that would turn his MAGA cult against him and that is if he was a closet homosexual. I would bet there are photos and videos of him in flagrante delicto with young boys and, quite likely, even with Epstein.
