Substantial Evidence of a Basement at Comet Ping Pong (pizzagate)

submitted ago by HomeboyChris

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. https://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2016-11-30/pizza-propaganda-the-local-fallout-from-fake-news

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. http://www.metroweekly.com/2015/04/from-scratch-james-alefantis/

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.

There was an anon on /pol/ that said he streamed video when he went in there. It was before Jack Posobiec. He may have been the first one to do this, but I never actually saw the video. He said that everything seemed normal inside, as we've seen, except for a door in the back that had a keypad and a hole where a doorknob would normally go. He said he thought it led to a basement. It definitely was not shown in the street interview clips when Alefantis took them on a tour.

The Jack Posobiec one had a black curtain over a doorway. Maybe they took out the door.
