Bill Clinton Named, Thomas Pritzker Accused, and Michael Jackson Mentioned - Epstein Docs

After years of obfuscation, the infamous "Epstein docs" have finally been released. They specifically deal with a lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre, who was sex trafficked as a minor by a now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein.

For years, rumors have swirled about what was contained in the various depositions taken during the case. Now, there are actual quotes to go along with some of the allegations, and they are eye-opening.

In one document, the deposition of Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg, revealed that Sjoberg alleged Epstein had said the former president likes younger girls. Notably, as of this writing, not a single mainstream press outlet has found that line interesting. One would think that a former President of the United States being called out by a pedophile as liking them "young" would be worthy of some headlines.

To be clear, that one line is not definitive, but it's another piece of evidence suggesting that Bill Clinton was very close to Epstein, and it's fair to suspect they weren't just flying around together to take in the scenery. That there has never been a serious push to investigate exactly what the former president's involvement was is astonishing. Democrat privilege is real.

It wasn't just Clinton mentioned, though. According to testimony given by a victim in the case, billionaire Thomas Pritzker (who is related to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker) was allegedly one of the people she was forced to sleep with.

Of course, one name that expected to make a lot of appearances was Prince Andrew of the British Royal Family. He has already settled a case out of court with Giuffre. The documents are over 1,000 pages so there is a lot to sift through. Overall, there aren't a ton of surprises.

DOD's 'Military Extremism' Investigation Is a Dud

A new Department of Defense report purporting to study the extent of "extremism" inside the Armed Forces has found no evidence the military has any more of an "extremism" problem than the society from which it draws recruits. According to the report:

[Institute for Defense Analyses’s] review found no evidence that the number of violent extremists in the military is disproportionate to the number of violent extremists in the United States as a whole, although there is some indication that the rate of participation by former service members is slightly higher and may be growing. IDA also found no evidence of violent extremist behavior by DOD civilians.

The participation in violent extremist activities of even a small number of individuals with military connections and military training, however, could present a risk to the military and to the country as a whole.

This project started shortly after Lloyd Austin was confirmed as Secretary of Defense. On February 3, 2021, Austin ordered a 60-day "stand down" in the Department of Defense to "address the challenge of extremism in the ranks."

This study was completed in June 2022 and only saw the light of day after repeated Freedom of Information Act requests by USAToday. USAToday isn't terribly happy with the findings as they were one of the outlets pushing the narrative of a racist and extremist military.
