Former NM gov Bill Richardson lives close by, in Santa Fe (only a couple of miles away).

He was a friend of the pedophile artist RC Gorman, and held a public eulogy at his funeral, although he must have known that the FBI found evidence that Gorman raped boys. The Albuquerque PD also investigated Gorman.

At least one of the boys said Richardson attended the parties were boys were raped.

Richardson has also been accused by Victoria Giuffre, one of Epstein's victims, whom Epstein took to NM and his Zorro ranch, of raping her.

The plot thickens.

Of course Richardson is a buddy of Billy Boy Clinton (of blue dress and red shoes fame), and served as Energy Secretary for the Clinton administration.

Also, he was involved in some shady stuff concerning nuclear energy, and has been accused of 'pay to play' (now, where did we here this before...).

He has also ties to Richard Branson.
