Can someone summarize pizzagate for me in a few sentences?
(I believe this has legs, so my quick review will probably have some bias) Allegedly, nothing has been proven, and most things are circumstantial at this point.
1. Pizza shop owner has very creepy tweets/instagrams etc involving children. There is also a lot of associated "art" (seriously don't look it up) that the main perp and some political figures have been tied too.
2. In the Democratic Party email release a lot of emails involved said owner of pizza shop and code words for pedophilia. These connected a lot of people back to this pedophilia ring. including some elements who have actually been convicted of pedophilia charges.
3. Main points revolve around a secret basement under the pizza shop where some of the acts happen. Owner was caught lying about there being no basement.
4. There have been a number of threatening responses to inquiries. I can't really blame them, I would react pretty bad if someone came to my work and accused me of such.
5. Some facts while not directly related to this case lend credence to the charges. DC and a couple other places mentioned have higher than usual child kidnappings/pedophilia related crimes than elsewhere. One of the major media figures denying this as a real case was fired for covering up the pedophilia of another similar figure.
as of now I have seen nothing to press charges on but how much this is getting swept away/ignored gives me pause. this isn't a political thing, both Hilary and Trump have been tied to this.
