''The theory claimed "cheese pizza" was code for "child pornography," since the term had been used in this context previously on the website 4chan. This was extrapolated to other mentions of food in non-political emails. However, as the Times pointed out, the Podesta brothers were famous in Washington circles for their Italian cooking and big salon and fund-raising dinners, often cooked by their mother.''
First, this could be code language aswell, second you can't play dominos on pizza, Illogical, John Podesta uses Pizza as a codeword, meaning all uses of the term are coded. Flawed logic.
''Theorists linked the conspiracy to Comet Ping Pong, through similarities between company logos and symbols related to Satanism and pedophilia. However, The Times noted that striking similarities may also be found in the logos of a number of unrelated companies, such as AOL, Time Warner, and MSN.[2]''
Illogical If all X is Y that doesnt mean that all Y is X, Pedos use these symbols, that doesnt mean that all these symbols are pedo, All zebras have stripes therefore stripes only occur on zebras.
''A photograph was circulated purporting to show President Barack Obama playing ping pong with a child inside Comet Ping Pong. The original picture hangs framed in the White House, where it was taken.[2]''
Yes, but the photos featured Alefantis, owner of comet.
''Theorists claimed an underground network beneath Comet Ping Pong; however, the restaurant actually has no basement, and the picture used to support this claim was taken from another facility.[2]''
No investigation to prove that a basement doesnt exist.
''Theorists claimed to have a picture of restaurant owner Alefantis wearing a T-shirt endorsing pedophilia. However, the image was of another person entirely, and the shirt, which read "J’ :heart: L’Enfant," was actually a reference to the L’Enfant Cafe-Bar in DC, whose owner was pictured in the image, and which itself was named after Pierre Charles L'Enfant, designer of much of the layout of Washington, DC.[2]''
Maybe, but there are plenty of other weird pedo images with Alefantis.
''Theorists claimed John and Tony Podesta kidnapped Madeleine McCann using police sketches which were, in fact, two sketches of the same suspect taken from the descriptions of two eye witnesses. Furthermore, the claim that the brothers were in Portugal at the time of the kidnapping was sourced only to the conspiracy website Victurus Libertas, notable for, among other things, suggesting that the Queen of England was a reptilian alien.[2]''
No investigation in this claim.

Debunking the "debunkers":
1: no one has explained what the original email means. A handkerchief with a map on it which seems pizza-related and which seems to belong to Podesta? And this is somehow debunked because they like to cook with their mother? 2: of the logos presented by the Times, only 1 actually resembles a pedo logo, the others are a stretch. But Comet, Besta, and their associated freak shows are infested with pedo logos, depraved Instagram images and commentary, and nastiness. For the Times to compare Walls ice cream with Comet and Besta is cynical and misleading in the extreme. Does the management board of Walls employ pedo bands to perform at their company parties and make pedo jokes on their Instagram page?
3: An interesting indirect piece of evidence is simply how rapid, co-ordinated, aggressive, and extreme was the response to pgate and how consistent the response has been. People stir up shit all the time, but this must really be close to the mark this time to merit such an all hands on deck response. Even 911 truth didn't get such a coordinated and hostile response.
