So, is there any viability to the ridiculous notion that subway tunnels in Brooklyn Heights near the Hillary for America HQ (where John Podesta and Huma Abedin had their offices) can be accessed and used in smuggling/trafficking operations?
Apparently so.
It seems that a couple on 135 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn heard tales from a neighbor that there was a secret passageway to an abandoned subway tunnel in their basement.
One night after a few drinks the couple took a sledgehammer to a wall and found two well-preserved spaces of the abandoned Atlantic Avenue Tunnel. After some artful renovations and refurbishing they converted the spaces to a sophisticated speakeasy named Le Boudoir where you can enjoy drinks with clever names like the Guillotine, Air Balloon, Dauphin and Intruder and appetizers and listen to jazz.

New Yorkers will remember the tours of the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel given by Bob Diamond, where you’d literally hop down into a manhole near Trader Joe’s. Those tours were shut down but you can get a glimpse of a portion of that tunnel today through Le Boudoir. I wonder why those tours were shut down? Hmm. Possibly for another use? I believe there are parts of those tunnels in use for the trafficking of children and others for slaves.and organ harvesting later maybe. The elite are a disgusting lot. Thank You. Great and Entertaining Post. @Gilderoy

@Gilderoy Nice use of the Brooklyn Eagle! When you come to Kings County to investigate all this, you can get some great Pizza right near Le Boudoir. I forgot about Luzzo's BK. Not as good as the original location in Manhattan which might be the best pizza in NYC, but hey it's just steps from your tunnel.
carmencita have you been to that Trader Joe's? Because then we have just two links of separation, if so.
The reason they shut down the tunnels is he teamed with a film group and was doing movie screenings in the tunnel and the Fire Department thought this was a terrible idea.
Why do you believe that?
Gilderoy, how much do believe this as an actual possiblity? Is this just a parlour game of what if for you? Or do you believe the Le Boudouir story actually supports this idea? Because I think the idea that you need to have someone tell you about rumors of access and then break through a wall and create your entrance not to the full tunnel, but a cozy bar-sized room supports my contention. Because all this gives you is a super-cool basement, it's not entering one place and exiting another. It's just a space. You don't need tunnels for that.
