  I think that's the point. The leaked emails were boring and normal except to conspiracy theorists.

      That claim is easily refuted with a minute of Googling, just like the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory#Etymology_and_definition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory#Etymology_...

        With a few more seconds one could CTRL-F 1035-960.

        Hah, the difference being some people still believe in conspiracy theories. Nobody believes in Pizzagate.

        The person posting Podesta emails in this thread believes in Pizzagate.

        That can't be. Nobody still believes in Pizzagate. That building didn't even have a basement. Clearly they're part of a conspiracy to make us believe, against all possible odds, that anyone still believes in Pizzagate.

        Yes they must feel like fools, believing that multiple national politicians would associate with an organized pedophilia ring, for instance even flying on a private plane that had been nicknamed "The Lolita Express".

        I mean, they should probably feel like fools believing there was child sex trafficking going on in the basement of a building that has no basement, even if some other conspiracies turn out to be real. It's a textbook case of mob mentality that so many people believed the lies and nobody did even basic legwork. (And let's note: it's not like 4chan broke open Epstein's crimes. Old fashioned FBI legwork did. And the guy had a history of sex trafficking already, which nobody in Pizzagate did. As fun as it is to pretend to be an armchair sleuth, it sure isn't a pass-time that's got a good batting average over professional investigation).
