I've been looking into this for only a month, but with my analytical mind I've already concluded the following:

• Someone, somewhere has managed to paint "pizzagate" with so unbeliavable "facts", falseflags and dissinfo that it is seen as a conspiracy theory (as a term) by the blind masses
• This painting is an ongoing project, and a typical tactic used by trolls to stamp the whole thing with a "forget it, it's nonsense" tag

So... As the "pizzagate" is seen by investigators here as part of a larger "pedogate", I've decided to drop pizzagate as a term in my studies. Too bad, but I don't see it has a future as a serious claim for investigations. Our enemy might have won a battle but not the war. I'm moving on with "pedogate", follow if you will. Discussion, however, is in place before that.

Snopes is a fact checker used by MSM, and has been claimed for spreading disinfo. Founder of Snopes isn't actually clean either
