The more that surfaces about the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, the harder it gets to read the official story as anything other than a coordinated refusal to actually look.
Back in 2019, then New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas was deep into building a state-level case against Epstein and the Zorro Ranch, interviewing survivors, gathering evidence, preparing charges. He got a call from the Southern District of New York telling him to stand down, with a promise that federal prosecutors would share their evidence later and let him pursue state charges then. He paused his investigation and trusted them. He later told Scripps News, "I don't think they were forthright, and I don't think they were operating in good faith. I'm very angry."
The federal piece of that promise never materialized. According to reporting, investigators never once executed a search warrant on the Zorro Ranch itself, despite the fact that the word "Zorro" appears nearly 14,000 times in the released Epstein files. This is a property where survivors have alleged r**e, sexual assault of minors, forced births, and eugenics, and federal authorities never searched it.
Then there is the part of the story I genuinely don't know what to make of, given it remains unsubstantiated. A local radio host received an email from someone claiming to have worked at the ranch, alleging that the bodies of two foreign girls had been buried "in the hills outside the Zorro." He forwarded it to the FBI immediately. The tip then sat unentered in their system for two years with no investigation opened. It never reached Balderas's office, and he only learned about it this year, when Congress released the Epstein files.
New Mexico's Commissioner of Public Lands has acknowledged the open question directly. "We do know there are missing individuals," she said. "Those girls, their bodies have not been recovered. So, there is a potential there." The ranch has since been sold to a former Texas state senator, which will likely complicate any future investigation of the property itself.
Meanwhile, Pam Bondi recently sat in a congressional deposition and declined to answer a single question about Trump and the Epstein files. DOJ lawyers intervened to stop her from answering. Ghislaine Maxwell, around the same window, was quietly transferred to a more comfortable facility.
"The answers are not in the documents that have been released," Balderas said. "They're in the millions of documents currently being withheld."
Survivors deserve justice, the public deserves the truth, and until both of those start happening in a serious way, the cover-up is still happening.
