Armed Man Enters Comet Ping Pong to Investigate "Pizza Gate"

[CPUd]

Flynn's son 'is no longer involved in transition efforts'


The son of President-elect Donald Trump's incoming national security adviser, who has sparked controversy with his public defense of a conspiracy theory that a Washington pizza place is a front for a child abuse ring run by Democrats, is no longer working with Trump's transition team.

Trump spokesman Jason Miller told reporters Tuesday that Michael Flynn Jr., the son of former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, had been helping his father with "administration and scheduling duties early on in the transition process."

"He is no longer involved in transition efforts," Miller added on a conference call with reporters.

The Flynns have become embroiled in the controversy over the conspiracy theory, nicknamed "Pizzagate," after an armed man walked into the Comet Ping Pong pizza place in Washington on Sunday, telling police he wanted to investigate the theory that accuses top Democrats like presidential nominee Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta of involvement in a child abuse ring.

While the incoming national security adviser has previously tweeted about conspiracies and similar allegations against top Democrats, his son has taken to Twitter to trumpet the conspiracy theory and accuse detractors of looking to hide the truth.

CNN reported on Monday that the younger Flynn had been given an official transition team email address, sparking questions about his involvement with the incoming administration. Vice President-elect Mike Pence told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday morning that the son has "no involvement in the transition team whatsoever."

The Sunday arrest at the family-friendly pizza parlor has supercharged the debate over the dissemination of fake news, and a group of liberal organizations has called on Trump to rescind his appointment of the elder Flynn over the issue.

What kind of logic would make a person think this?

1. Pizzagate consists of more than just a word or an idea, such as the Bigfoot example. Those millions of hits are representative of millions of discussions on the matter referencing incriminating images, phrases, comments, associations, emails, etc.

2. Fiction means to not based on fact, to be untrue or imaginary. To state that Pizzagate is a fiction is a blatant misnomer.

3. Pizzagate is about more than simply Comet Ping Pong and (at this time) bears no direct associations to Killary Clinton, but such is not the case for her underlings--however, we do know she was involved in Haitian cover-ups and some very strange happenings there with children.

So what? What' the point of the post Cpud? Trying to smear anyone that calls for an investigation?
Podesta should be investigated.

[Philmanoman]

Found something odd ...if it hasn't been mentioned here..

In th e movie theres a missing person board someone is looking at

Can't remember if most on it are children but
At the bottom there is a pizza with a circle around it.

So you aren't even going ot believe this, but it is true:
The "gunman", Edgar Maddison Welch, was an actor, right?

Sure but Cpud specfically chose it to post. What does it have to do with the stage actor Welch that entered Comet ? What motive is behind bringing Flynn to the goofball Welch thread unless it is a smear attempt to somehow irrationally connect Flynn to the armed stage actor because Flynn is one of the many millions that called for an investigation?

Trump fires Michael Flynn Jr., son of national security adviser, after phony-news tweets

On Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump dropped Michael G. Flynn, the son of designated national security adviser Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, from his transition staff. Transition officials say the cause for the firing was the younger Flynn's social media posts, especially his support for the false "pizzagate" conspiracy theory that Democratic operatives were running a child sex ring out of a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant. Flynn, 33, continued to insist the story was true even after police arrested an armed man on Sunday who came to the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria and fired at least two rounds, claiming he was there to "self-investigate" the fake story.

Before Trump transition spokesman Jason Miller announced Tuesday morning that Flynn, chief of staff and scheduler for his father, was no longer involved with the transition, Vice President–elect Mike Pence had said on MSNBC's Morning Joe that the younger Flynn had "no involvement in the transition whatsoever." On Tuesday night, CNN's Jake Tapper repeatedly pressed Pence on why Flynn Jr. had a transition email account and if he'd been aware that the transition team had requested security clearance for the younger Flynn, and Pence called the whole story a "distraction" and insisted that Flynn has just been helping his father schedule meetings.

This appears to be the first time Trump has taken action against a Trump insider who has spread fake news stories. Gen. Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, is weathering bipartisan criticism over, among other things, his own promotion of false conspiracy theories, though he has taken to tweeting anodyne messages since Trump's election. Flynn Jr.'s last post before going silent Monday afternoon was a retweet of a fake-news article claiming the Comet Ping Pong gunman is an actor hired to debunk the fake sex-trafficking story. The younger Flynn had reportedly planned to join his father on Trump's National Security Council. -Peter Weber

Maybe they kicked him off for telegraphing moves, and this is their way of undoing that.

Why would a jailed individual be able to videoconference with the NYT yet not be able to speak to his parents?

SALISBURY, N.C. (AP) — The man accused of firing an assault rifle inside a Washington restaurant said he regrets how he handled the situation but refused to completely dismiss the false online claims involving a child sex ring that brought him there.

"I just wanted to do some good and went about it the wrong way," Edgar Maddison Welch, who's been jailed since his Sunday arrest, told The New York Times in a Wednesday videoconference.

Tadlock said Welch's parents haven't been able to talk to him to ask what he was thinking, and the family's only information comes from the news and the public defender.

Maybe he didn't want to talk to his parents?

Possible. I just find it rather odd that a jailed individual has access to video conferencing. Usually information is disseminated through their lawyers.

I would use an internet archive site to see if it was up there a couple weeks ago.

IMDB isn't as easy to edit as wikipedia, but it is largely or partly based on user input.

You are comparing a fictional sex movie to actual events that entails hard evidence? Where is that herpa derpa meme at...

And when using "50 and shades and of and grey" the difference decreases from "About 5,380,000 results (0.48 seconds)" to "About 5,080,000 results (0.54 seconds)."

It wasn't. But when it's fixed then a new round of "news" will be published saying "OMG IMDB SCRUBBED THE TRUTH! JEWS JEWS JEWS ETC ETC"

And the cycle will begin anew.

Why would a jailed individual be able to videoconference with the NYT yet not be able to speak to his parents?

Depends on what the videoconference was. If it was a remote video session then it's bull$#@! since jail staff isn't going to set him up with a computer terminal to skype, unless he's getting special treatment for some reason. If it was a NYT reporter actually going to the jail and having a "visit" with the inmate then it could be legit. "Visits" are done by video at more and more jails so money can be extracted out of visitors ("pay to visit"). However, jails usually require visitors to be on an approved visitor list in advance so if the NYT reporter was on his visitor list then it's more evidence of bs. Just a lot of variables, though imo it's mostly an academic exercise since I'm sure the whole shooting narrative is bs.

The fact that there are millions of google hits is no proof that something isn't fictional, as proven by the fact that fictional stories get millions of Google hits.
