Everybody PLEASE learn what the word pedophile means. Denny hastert was no pedophile, unless you are suggesting that pre-pubescent kids were in high school and wrestled other high schoolers. At least ONE of the people accusing him of sexual misconduct with was under the age of consent in Illinois at the time of the abuse, but that does not make Denny a pedophile. It makes him a criminal.
I agree. To everyone who seems to "not care" for words, keep in mind, it's still a huge part of #pizzagate's credibility at stake if we start "not caring" for such differences. In the end, we all want the child abusers to be in prison. It does no good, if we are not as clear as possible in this process.
In other words: Who would take this seriously, if the image #pizzagate projects is "They don't even know the difference between pedophilia and 'under age of consent', therefore you can't trust in their investigative work".
This doesn't solely count for words though. We shouldn't jump to conclusions and we shouldn't post stuff claiming "THIS IS EVIDENCE!!!", as long as it is completely vague. I know it's a very emotional subject and it is to me as well, but working emotional instead of rational will do more harm than good in the end.
