I was hooked looking into the Madeleine McCann case extensively a while back, and I just want to point some things out. I agree the Podesta comparisons might be distraction, however the information of both e-fits being given by the same man of the same man are incorrect. They are supposed to be of one man, but the witness wouldn't have been able to draw detailed e-fits up...

Martin Smith, an Irish tourist, is alleged to have given the information to draw the e-fits when visited in Ireland by the McCanns' private investigators, NOT the police. He was approached after he saw Gerry McCann getting off a plane on television when they landed back in the UK, and thought it could have been Gerry he saw that night.

Martin gave statements to the Portuguese police on the 26th May 2007. Madeleine vanished on the 3rd May 2007. He didn't make statements for 23 days.

Let's look at the information he gave on the man he saw carrying the child, taken from his statements to Portuguese police:

"Regarding the description of the individual who carried the child he states that: he was Caucasian, around 175 to 180m in height. He appeared to be about 35/40 years old. He had an average build, a bit on the thin side. His hair was short, in a basic male cut, brown in colour. He cannot state if it was dark or lighter in tone. He did not wear glasses and had no beard or moustache. He did not notice any other relevant details partly due to the fact that the lighting was not very good."

Does that sound like he would be able to provide enough information to draw an e-fit? Given the fact he couldn't remember hair colour, and that the lighting wasn't very good?

Further on:

"States that it is not possible for him to recognise the individual in person or by photograph."

How would it be that Martin Smith could provide enough detail for e-fits months later, despite it being dark, and him being unable to recognise this person again even some 23 days after the sighting?

I think it's plausible that the private detectives knew who they wanted to draw up, which may or not be the Podestas. If the McCanns are involved in a paedophile ring, as I suspect due to their connection to Clement Freud, and top-level help from the UK government, I don't think it's a giant leap to consider they might have released the e-fits of the Podesta brothers as blackmail, given no one really connected the fact that they look alike until the Pizzagate shit.

I think Madeleine is dead. I'm pretty certain of it. I don't know if the Podestas were involved, but the e-fit information being of the same man might be a way to silence intrigue if it is repeated enough, when it could actually be an avenue to keep in mind. I'm not saying the Podesta brothers snatched Madeleine, or that two men were seen, but they could be involved in a much bigger cycle, and were blackmailed, or had a falling out, etc.

If Martin Smith couldn't remember who he saw that night, it means someone else decided who to draw, meaning they could be depictions two separate men.

Worth noting that Martin Smith and his family declined to return to Portugal for a reconstruction like they had agreed to after the visits from the private investigators.
