In case u missed it, Alefantis emphatically stated for the record yesterday on the Kojo Mnambi radio show that Comet Ping Pong DOES NOT HAVE A BASEMENT.

Now, this is problematic because it contradicts all the available evidence we currently have. Including James Alefantis hinself talking about canning 10 tons of tomatoes at Comet and storing them in said basement. Which can be found here in this Metro Weekly article.

In addition to his own words previously confirming the existence of a basement, we also have this book, Boutique Restaurants, which documents the interior of Comet Ping Pong. The only available images are too low of a resolution to make out the description. However, the space depicted is able to be assumed to be a basement area of the building. (Cant find the link to the book right now, i have screenshots on my twitter tho)
Another puzzling piece of information is the listing of Comet, 5037 Connecticut Ave. on propertyshark has the stories of the building listed as '2'.

Other supporting evidence is a confirmed basement level in a neighboring business, Politics and Prose. Across the street there is Joe's Basement Bar, so we know buildings in the immediate vicinity have basements.
Fox News biggest argument in favor of "debunking Pizzagate" was the statement of fact that "Comet Ping Pong does not have a basement"
I'll leave it to the greater community to interpret the implications of these findings published above.

If not a basement, James might have possibly created an opening or access to a nearby tunnel or network from his 18 months of permit-less building construction? Placing him and his pedo pals physically off of the property and underground surrounded by darkness. These pedos picked this group of buildings for a reason.

Yeah, he very well could be referring to something else when he says "basement." I doubt he'd say that Comet has no basement over and over if it could be easily proven false. It seems like he's saying it because he knows he can.

This. You know how the MSM all said people alleged that "the pedo ring was led by Hillary Clinton and John Podesta." And his response was "I have not even met Hillary Clinton", as if somehow that helped him distance himself from them.
However, he never mentioned that he did meet John Podesta many times before, but the media never asked him about that.
