Trump Jr. praises writer who pushed 'Pizzagate' conspiracy theory
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/327144-trump-jr-praises-writer-who-pushed-pizzagate-conspiracy-theory ^

President Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. tweeted praise Tuesday for writer Mike Cernovich, a promoter of the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, saying he deserved a Pulitzer Prize for his scoop on a story about former national security adviser Susan Rice requesting the "unmasking" of American citizens connected to Trump in intelligence reports.

"Congrats to Cernovich for breaking the Susan Rice story. In a long gone time of unbiased journalism he'd win the Pulitzer, but not today!" Trump Jr. tweeted.

The tweet references reports that Rice, while still serving in the Obama administration, legally requested the "unmasking" of incoming Trump officials in intelligence reports. "Unmasking" refers to revealing the names of people whose communications and information are incidentally collected in broader surveillance of foreign targets, and which are normally redacted in reports.

Former intelligence officials have described unmasking as a routine part of the intelligence process, and no reports so far have shown that Rice's request bypassed proper channels. Cernovich is known for promoting the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which, among other things, falsely said that the Washington, D.C., pizza shop Comet Ping Pong was home to an underground sex-trafficking ring that included Hillary Clinton and her former campaign chairman, John Podesta. In December, a North Carolina man was arrested for firing shots inside the pizzeria in an attempt to "investigate."

When was it determined that Comet Pizza was not the site of sexual predation?

When was it determined that the owner (a several-times visitor to the White House) was not involved in such issues?

Somehow in all the extensive coverage (NOT) of the issue, I failed to discover that.

When these people make up lies, they should at least have the decency to state the source of their contortions. This idiot never even alluded to the source of the “headline”.

“Pizzagate” is the “conspiracy theory” that John Podesta’s emails contain bizarre uses of the words “pizza,” “pasta,” “walnut sauce,” “hot dogs,” and other TRADITIONAL code words for children, rape, sodomy, etc.

BTW: The answer to your questions is, of course, “never.”

The phrase “conspiracy theory” exercises a magical power over most minds. This is true because the vast majority of people care little about evidence, and care almost exclusively about not being ridiculed.

Well here’s a development via infowars that is not based on the usual innuendo:

Recently in Florida three university students were arrested for prostitution in which two of the students were females engaging in sex in exchange for money, while one male student was arranging the encounters and essentially pimping the girls.

One of the girls who was arrested can be seen in her Facebook profile picture with former President Bill Clinton at a campaign event during Hillary Clinton’s presidential run.

You left out ‘dominos.’ Podesta said he was going to play dominos on pasta.

His exact quote:

Ps. Do you think I’ll do better playing dominos on cheese than on pasta?

I believe Cernovich has denied any involvement w/ pizzagate.

Yet the msm will bring up this lie repeatedly attempting to discredit him.

Won't they be surprised when pizzagate turns out to be a real thing.

Wasn’t Cernevich just on 60 Minutes, where they confirmed that although he’s been on the pedophile story, he never pushed Pizzagate (which was a set-up story to try to discredit those on the pedphile trail)?

How can you prove a negative?
