I'm asking about where the Pizzagate outrage brigade is... Are they quiet now because it's their own champions who are implicated?

To be honest I haven't been looking out for them, but I imagine the news/the Internet detectives would've covered them.

"Kernel of truth", hah. Feels more like a distraction tactic. "Oh, Trump barged into dressing room of teenage pageants, let's accuse the other side of running a trafficking ring!"
