The Senate cannot confirm Todd Blanche on Wednesday, because Todd Blanche is actively covering up the Epstein files.

Thirty miles south of Santa Fe there are 10,000 acres called Zorro Ranch. Jeffrey Epstein owned it for a quarter century. Survivors say girls were flown there and abused there. There was a tip about girls buried in the hills, disturbing enough that the state searched with cadaver dogs this spring.

In all those years, no law enforcement agency ever searched that ranch. Not once. In 2019 the FBI raided Epstein's Manhattan townhouse and his island the week of his arrest. The ranch? Never. And when New Mexico's attorney general built his own case that year, with victim statements and suspects beyond Epstein and Maxwell, federal prosecutors called and told him to stand down. They promised to share their evidence for state charges later. His words, on the record: "I don't think that they were forthright, and I don't think that they were operating in good faith." Epstein died and the case of Zorro Ranch died with him.

This February, New Mexico tried again. A new attorney general, Raul Torrez, reopened the case: the only active criminal investigation into Zorro Ranch anywhere on earth. In March his investigators became the first law enforcement officers to ever search the property. To charge anyone still living, he needs one thing from Washington: the unredacted files. The names of victims, witnesses, and co-conspirators that are blacked out in the public release.

He asked on February 13. He asked again. And again. Five times, plus a formal legal letter, plus an attempted meeting in Washington. On June 30 he sent a letter addressed to Todd Blanche, by name: 130+ days of silence. The delay is "unreasonable under any rule of reason." And this sentence, which should be read aloud at Wednesday's hearing: "Every avenue of investigation that begins with a redacted name, a blacked-out face or an obscured date is an avenue that ends before it begins." Statutes of limitation are dying while the files sit in a building in Washington.

The man that letter is addressed to is Todd Blanche, the acting Attorney General of the United States.

Before he ran the Justice Department, Todd Blanche had exactly one job: personal criminal defense lawyer to Donald Trump. Trump's PAC paid his firm nearly $10,000,000. Trump appears in more than 5,300 of the released Epstein documents. The Justice Department's own ethics chief told Blanche, in writing, in his first two weeks, to recuse himself from his former client's matters. He refused. Then he took personal control of everything Epstein.

Personal control looks like this. He flew to Florida and spent nine private hours with Ghislaine Maxwell, the only living witness who knows everything. She came out announcing Trump did nothing wrong. A week later she was moved to a minimum-security camp that Bureau of Prisons policy says sex offenders can't be in. Under oath, Blanche described it as "low-security to low-security." That is false on the Bureau's own records. She has made it public that she'll "speak fully and honestly" if she gets clemency. Think about that...

Personal control looks like this. When a 2015 DEA memo surfaced in the files tying Epstein and 14 redacted names to drug and prostitution money, about $50 million in flagged wire transfers, a senator demanded the unredacted version. The DEA administrator was ready to hand it over. Senator Wyden says Blanche personally stopped him. Blanche's response was to call a sitting senator a fabricator. The memo is still sealed today. And the 43-year-old task force that wrote it, the one that caught El Chapo? Blanche shut the whole thing down.

Personal control looks like this. His department withheld FBI interviews of a woman whose abuse allegation mentioned Trump, and quietly deleted one from the public database after release. It came back only when reporters caught it. He certified to Congress, in writing, that nothing was withheld for political reasons. A federal judge has now ruled, in the government's own words, that "the Attorney General has conceded that he is in violation of the Act." Blanche's answer to the unsealing order was to refuse and ask for 60 more days. His answer to you was: "We are not sitting on a single piece of paper."

One man sits between the Epstein files and every investigation trying to open them. That man was paid ten million dollars by the most famous name in them.

And Epstein is only the first file. The deep dive covers the rest: the tax immunity he signed for Trump's family, "FOREVER BARRED," worth $600M+, that a judge is now probing as a possible fraud on the court.

The prosecution a federal judge dismissed as vindictive, finding Blanche "started the investigation to implicate" the defendant.

The bodycam of an opposition mayor arrested "per the deputy attorney general of the United States" as the cameras were ordered off.

The armed marshals at a whistleblower's door the night before her testimony.

This is a dangerous man. Not a partisan, a dangerous man: one who has proven he will point the entire machinery of American justice at protecting a single client and burying a single story, and who is days away from owning that machinery permanently.

The hearing is Wednesday, 9am. Your two senators decide. Tag them below and ask one question: "Will you confirm the man covering up the Epstein files before the Inspector General tells you whether he lied to you?"

@SenThomTillis @SenatorCollins @LisaMurkowski @JohnCornyn @SenBillCassidy @HawleyMO: you said you had concerns. This is what they look like on paper. I'll email you the full 20 page report.

Repost so no senator can say they didn't know.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

We learned from COVID 19 that oil is worthless in a society without consumption, healthcare has to be public because health is public, 50% of jobs can be done from home while the other 50% deserve more than they're being paid, and that we live in a society, not an economy.

I spent 8 hours investigating the 197 members who voted to spy on us at 2:09 AM while we slept. If I could pull all this from public records, imagine what I could do with their texts, calls, and emails..like they want to collect on us.

Based on my findings (follow the $, red flags, LLCs), I put them into Tiers. Meet Tier 1 - The Kings of Corruption:

Rep. Gottheimer (D-NJ)
Rep. Schweikert (R-AZ)
Rep. Buchanan (R-FL)
Rep. McCaul (R-TX)
Rep. Sessions (R-TX)
Rep. Comer (R-KY)
Rep. Harshbarger (R-TN)

Between the 9 of them:
- $6.5M in AIPAC money
- 3,300+ stock trades
- Offshore shell companies
- A sealed felony
- 'Congressman-1' in a federal indictment
- 700+ hidden trades worth $10.9M
- $10M funneled through charter schools
- The SOLE vote against releasing the Epstein files

Full investigation on Tier 1 (it's free!): https://t.co/y9DqkhCKq9

Part 2 coming soon!

No Kings Protests and voting for milquetoast democrats is cute and all, but a dozen warehouse fires and gunshots into a billionaire’s home has Sam Altman calling for UBI, 4 day work weeks, and universal healthcare.

So I looked it up and literally the MTA employees multiple times would give him their shifts because they knew him so well. And he did the job so well, passengers loved him.

Meanwhile instead of hiring him like companies did with Frank Abagnale, he’s been on jail since 2018

Dear @IMAX,

I would like to be trained as a projectionist. I'm not joking — I'd love to learn how to do it. I don't have any engineering qualifications, but if you showed me how, I'd be able to learn.

I worked as a full time unpaid caregiver for my mom after my dad passed, while she was dying from cancer

3 years. No paycheck. Emptied my 401k to survive

Now I'm 42, without retirement, and I can't find work because of my history of "unemployment".

This system is a sick joke

i want to point out that Jeffrey Dahmer got a last meal, Ghislaine Maxwell got a therapy puppy, but a 7 year old couldn’t get a glass of water and died in custody due to dehydration. We are completely broken
