Lee Fang has 77K followers. The Intercept boys have been silent about pizzagate, so this tweet was a little surprising. Although it's not all that risky since the article he refers to is anti-Trump rather than anti-establishment (which, one can assume, is the same reason Washington Post is reporting on it whilst they deleted the article about Podesta's art collection).
He links to this article: Labor nominee Acosta cut deal with billionaire guilty in sex abuse case
There was once a time — before the investigations, before the sexual abuse conviction — when rich and famous men loved to hang around with Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire money manager who loved to party.
They visited his mansion in Palm Beach, Fla. They flew on his jet to join him at his private estate on the Caribbean island of Little Saint James. They even joked about his taste in younger women.
President Trump called Epstein a “terrific guy” back in 2002, saying that “he’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Now, Trump is on the witness list in a Florida court battle over how federal prosecutors handled allegations that Epstein, 64, sexually abused more than 40 minor girls, most of them between the ages of 13 and 17. The lawsuit questions why Trump’s nominee for labor secretary, former Miami U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta, whose confirmation hearing is scheduled to begin Wednesday, cut a non-prosecution deal with Epstein a decade ago rather than pursuing a federal indictment that Acosta’s staff had advocated.

Lee Fang is a very good writer. Even though some may not agree with his politics, this is a really big deal for him to bring this out into the open. "Pizzagate Person" needs to be tweeted more often.

He and i have the same politics, I believe. But I have to call the journalists at Intercept out for totally sidestepping anything to do with pizzagate all this time. I do wish they would use "pizzagate person" when it refers to the folks involved in the Podesta emails, and not just mimic the MSM with an anti Trump bias that leaves their journalistic integrity in question.

I personally think they are all either involved as pedos (MSM) or they know if they come out with the truth they will be ruined and never be able to even fight for their right to publish the truth. This is the first time in my life in this country that I have been afraid that we will not be able to find the truth anymore. There have always been those that were willing to hide the truth when reporting the news, but now I find that even the ones I have trusted are afraid to step forward. I hope for our good, that this will change. But only if we demand it. Many are too asleep to fight.

Too asleep, and too scared. It's a sad time in America.
