Amazing post! I had similar issues getting my story on Pizzagate past my editor as well. While I never put much stock in the 4chan "translations" of the emails, after viewing them myself I have little doubt that in some instances they were code words for something. Whether they were about drugs, illegal arms, or possibly even children is up for debate. I've spent extensive time researching this and other possible sex trafficking rings. I think Pizzagate was on the cusp of something big and disinfo agents in conjuction with Legacy Media had to shut that conversation down before word spread. When you think about how many conspiracies there are in existance it seems pretty silly they would have gone after the topic so harshly if there wasn't some grain of truth there. Why else would they bother tearing it apart when there's hundreds of conspiracy theories floating around at any given time? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense unless they're trying to hide something. My guess is money laundering, a lot of it, which may or may not have been connected to child trafficking.
