Here is the original email invitation from Wikileaks:

I wanted to take a closer look at the property where this event happened. (The address is in the email). Here is a composite photo of what I observed:

A few things struck me after taking a closer look at the house and considering the implications of the invitation.
1) Who schedules a regular cookout in late December in cold Washington DC? (This is supposed to be the 3rd annual event). Very odd.
2) The house is very narrow so not ideally suited for large gatherings. It appears that the invitation went out to many people: “you should bring all children that are available”; “3rd annual cookout”; invitation is from and to the same email, implying that guests were bcc’d. This is something you frequently do when you have many invitees. My rough guess is at least 30 guests would have been there. Possibly as many as 50 to 100.
3) They were going to be cooking “an entire suckling pig” presumably. (Unless they had it delivered???) But delivery would be very strange since: a) who the hell delivers entire roasted pigs in Washington DC; and b) it’s supposed to be a cookout!
4) The only place to cookout would be a small deck roughly the size of the garage (see above photo).
Conclusion: I just don’t see an entire pig on a spit in December roasting on this tiny deck in the middle of the most urban section of DC (I know this area well) with dozens of people milling about. This makes no sense at all. Not saying it’s impossible. Just unlikely.
What is more likely is that the event was held indoors and that “cookout” and “entire suckling pig” are also coded talk, just as we suspect that there were no actual handmade tortillas flown in from Mexico, because who the fuck would be that stupid? Not even overpaid, self-important, DC wonks with PHDs are THAT stupid.
Also, interesting to note: this property is very close to Tony Podesta’s DC mansion with the creepy artwork. It’s also very close to where Obama is rumored to live after he leaves the White House. Basically all 3 places are in the same very posh DC neighborhood, which is close to Capitol Hill, the WH and K Street.

Google "On-site bbq catering Washington DC whole pig." It's rich-guy fad.

Yep, never underestimate the epic status signalling get-togethers of DC politicians and lobbyists.
Wouldn't surprise me if the handmade tortillas being flown in from Mexico were in fact actual tortillas, though I guess the use of code talk is possible. Lobbyists are addicted to flamboyant schmoozing with using outlandish pulls to reel in politicians and their families, within their sphere of influence. In Washington DC, everything is about asserting ones relevance, power, and social networking ability ... not that I would ever stand in the same room with creepy Podesta brothers; they make my skin breakout in goosebumps just thinking about it.

Yes, it's so "statusy" to see how many children you can get to a party. Those of the kind of stats that flamboyant lobbyists schmooze about in the hallowed halls. "You only got a measly 12 kids? At out suckling pig party, we got over 32 underage attendees -- most of them still in diapers!!!! Yup, I can see your point that it would be quite a coup. Especially with all the drinking going on. One thing adult lobbyists/lawmakers like is children underfoot so they can trip over them when they're guzzling beer. Status signalling at its finest!! These are the kind of debunking attempts that make everyone convinced there's something going on besides roasting a pig.

You are a complete tool. A very blunt one. I'm not 'debunking' anything you troll. I've had it with your noxious retorts to anyone who attempts to bring uncomfortable facts in the way of your assumptions.
Could they have been having a pedoparty? Yes.
Could they have been having a networking exercise in Washington D.C.? More than likely.
Obviously you don't know how Washington works. Lobbyists send their children PURPOSELY to schools where politicians and high level bureaucrats send their children, and then they use their childrens' relationships to cement contacts and deals ... I know ... you just want to view EVERY WIKILEAKS email, uncritically, as a code, and you want to ignore any contextual reasoning what so ever. Why?
Why are you so keen on asphyxiating the attention of forum contributors on one sided interpretations? Is it because you know that NO INVESTIGATION which is not critical of its own methods, can succeed? You don't want any solid success, do you? You just want every contributor to be frothing at the mouth, thrashing about with dead ends and skewed reasoning. Maybe you would be more comfortable as a Social Justice Warrior? Did you choose the wrong team? In the alt-right, I have noticed that there is a greater concern for the truth and for being correct rather than self-deluded, so maybe you should be a little introspective, for the good of the greater community which is searching for the truth? Screw hyperbole, I want the truth. Either you are doing this purposefully, or you are doing it for some psychological reason which provides you with some sick internal raison d'etre.
I think maybe you are simply a fool though, based on how you have reacted to other peoples points of view all over /v/pizzagate. You probably don't even know why you are doing it. As soon as you enter a discussion, you go straight for the first person who has added any constructive criticism to the op. You immediately call them a 'shill', because they don't share your rabid appetite for salacious hype. You are frothing at the mouth to submit peoples opinions into conformity with your own, just like an SJW. Downvoat me all you want, I don't give a shite.
Obviously the Liberal Establishment (as well as the RINO's) in D.C., are packed full of pedophiles and creeps, but nobody is going to find anything solid unless they start even allowing constructive criticism, or at least cultural context, to be a part of their discussions. Grow up!
