It was also interesting how the media jumped on the fake news bandwagon once this story started breaking. It was an aggressive full court press regarding fake news. As if they wanted NO ONE looking at it too closely.
That's when the whole fake news agenda was rolled out.

??? No, they knew it was a BS story and were not going to perpetuate it by covering it.

Then why bother mentioning it at all?
So if I hold press rally and bang a drum about how my cat can predict the weather do I need a disclaimer that what I am saying is fake? Why would the news bother with me at all? They wouldn't. They wouldn't even mention me.
However, if what I was saying was true and was a threat ... well they would have an ax to grind and need to discredit the story. So instead of investigating and proving it was false, they yell FAKE NEWS and go on their way. Because they do NOT want anyone looking too closely.
If something is fake, there is no need to worry about it. What do you care if people believe it? If its false, can;t be proven in court. If it's false, then slander and libel apply. Where are all the lawsuits?
Fake news indeed. Has Podesta filed any lawsuits against those calling him a pedophile? Has Alefantis filed any lawsuits against those who claim his pizza place was used for pedophilia?
Ask yourself this: Why is a pizza place owner in the top 50 of influential people in Washington DC? He makes pizza, right? Pizza. Hmm. Something sticks here, and it ain't the pizza.
Years ago, before the scandal broke out, Alefantis spoke openly about his basement at Comet Ping Pong.
In 2015, in Metroweekly he was bragging that they make their own pizza sauce and store it in their basement. There was even pictures on his public instagram of him doing construction in the basement.
But when allegations about nefarious activities going on in that basement are made... now, he doesn't have one.
I guess they must have remodeled.
The basement is not at Comet Ping Pong. He does have a basement in a different restaurant.
Like Pastan, James Alefantis, owner of Comet Ping Pong, doesn’t build his pizza sauce with DOP San Marzanos. For seven years, he has been buying late-harvest tomatoes from Toigo Orchards in Shippensburg, Pa., and canning them at nearby Stello Foods for use at Comet. Last year, Alefantis estimates, he bought 12 tons of Toigo tomatoes, which Stello turned into sauce and canned before trucking the jars to the basement at Buck’s Fishing & Camping, Alefantis’s other restaurant just a few steps down the block on Connecticut Avenue NW.
LOL. This basement defense kills me. That's their proof that nothing happened. "There's no basement."
Yet...He was openly talking about his basement at Comet Ping Pong in interviews years ago. He went into detail about how they make their own pizza sauce and store it in their basement.
The basement that he now claims doesn't exist...and this proves that nothing happened.
Where did you get the idea that anything illegal happened in the basement, if there was one?
Yes, there is something to Pizzagate. It effectively separated gullible partisan nutters from rational thinkers. But as far as factual accuracy goes, no, there is nothing to Pizzagate.

Then why aren't Podesta and Alefantis suing the crap out of everyone?
If someone accused me of being a pedophile without any evidence whatsoever and I knew I was innocent, I'd be suing the crap out of them.
Even Alex Jones admitted it was fake. He is an entertainer, nothing less and nothing more. He is not even a good entertainer at that. Podesta and Clinton know it is not worth their time to go after a hack like Jones.
