Had lunch with my friend today who has practiced law in DC/VA/MD for decades. His info and insights are as follow:
*
Among his peers, even though "pizzagate" is a relatively unused term, the Clinton Foundation, the Podesta emails, and human trafficking have been coming up more and more frequently in every day conversation.
*
Crowd-sourced or citizen-investigation derived evidence is perfectly valid and will hold up. Also, most criminals are convicted on circumstancial evidence. It's just a chain or "pile" of it (like exactly what we are doing).
*
There is (in his opinion) a very high chance of a special prosecutor being appointed for these matters, and very early in the coming administration.
*
He also commended the efforts that have been made. Cheers, keep up the good work.

Did you ask him if "circumstantial evidence" of a crime can just be tasteless instagram jokes and mentions of "pizza" in stolen emails?
Royce_of_Veason ago
It's odd that you mention these. Tasteless jokes (and obsession over grotesque art, for that matter) usually fall into character evidence, which builds a "profile" and is meant to suggest what a criminal is capable of. Mention of pizza in stolen emails (which is obviously still evidence), as part of a code verified and documented by the FBI, will certainly attribute to a conviction whether classified as circumstantial or character or demonstrative. But no, I didn't expressly ask. Thanks for your comment.

Source to FBI verification/documentation of "pizza" or any other terms in those emails referring to pedophilia?
Royce_of_Veason ago
I was wrong here. Only the symbology verification is published openly. But where obvious coded language is in play, the need for correlating definitions for each word will be unnecessary to impart reasonable doubt. Many of the suspects are (as far as those that will actually be prosecuted), I believe, more likely to go down for RICO crimes anyway. Thanks for helping me get this straight, though. Is there anything else you'd like to discuss?

A main if not THE main foundation for all the Pizzagate nonsense was the "pedo code" in the emails. It turns out that there is no known pedo code corresponding to those emails (despite a widely circulated bullshit list made up by some troll), nor any context in those emails that would by any stretch of the imagination suggest pedophilia. What does that leave you? Hey guys these dudes who are always away from home and working late talk about getting pizza a few times over 40,000 emails spanning almost a decade. They must be pedos!
Maybe you should ask yourself why and how the original troll gathered that tiny handful of emails in the first place. Given that "pizza" and "pasta" are NOT pedo code words, why was he searching for them? Why did he single them out? And since that was not pedo code and there was no pedo context, do you think it's just coincidence that all these people actually turned out to be pedos (in your opinion)? Or is it more likely that your pre-conceived bias, based on false claims like pedo code, kill room basement, "I love children", etc, caused you to see pedos where there are none?

It's not that I don't enjoy your replies, but your efforts are likely better placed elsewhere. I'm not here to perpetuate any assumptions. In fact, a general search of my comments and submissions would probably show that I'm a proponent of researching transactions and relationships, especially of the Clinton Foundation. The amount of effort and obsession over satanism, pedophilia, and restaurant fronts is IMO misplaced even if relevant. You do ask good questions (though blatantly leading and inviting conjecture), so I would encourage you to find someone whose mind you can change. I wish you the best.
