This idea moves into general conspiracy rather than pizzagate specifically but I discovered today that Jacque Fresco, founder of the Venus Project, died on the same day as Cornell. If we are willing to entertain the notion that Cornell's death wasn't a suicide (I haven't been convinced yet personally but I'm going to throw this out there anyway) I feel another potential motive could be to distract from Fresco's death? Fresco's work centred on building a society uncorrupted by the greed of the elite, it's a stretch but it might make some sense.
