So it's 3am on a Saturday night. Seeming as though I have nothing to do and since I've just recently got into the pizza gate community, I decided to call Comet ping pong, just for shits and giggles. Their website says they're open late, so i figured I'd call them, just to see if anyone would answer. Well, sure enough I get an answer. I was shocked just to get someone on the phone with me (just a random employee..and I guess the shift manager in the background) that I really just started talking to them.
Within seconds they seemed annoyed with me since I brought up pizzagate. I asked if James was available to talk, but they said he doesn't often close (It was 3am but I might as well ask anyways), I asked about the evidence of child trafficking and collusion between the Podesta brothers and the Owner, as seen in the wikileaks emails, and expressed how concerned I was about all of it and how strange it looks from an outsiders point of view. They both took turns taking to me for about 10 minutes about how they've received numerous threats against employees from strangers, people coming in only to make a scene and act like assholes, and just all around malicious and rude behavior from random people who identify themselves as investigators into pizza gate. I brought up several talking points about why they're being targeted and why so many seemingly random people are concerned about the place, and James. (they also mentioned James is a MAJOR asshole as a boss....but went on to and on about how he's not into child abuse, from what they could tell).
Surprisingly, they were pretty chill dudes who just seemed to be really frustrated and bothered with the amount of unwanted harassment from people looking into the investigation. Apparently several employees have quit on the spot or tendered their resignations in the past few days because they were so uncomfortable with receiving multiple death threats from people claiming to know about the abused children in the restaurant. I don't want this to come off as defending James Alefantis or trying to discredit looking into this thing as a whole....but to those on here or anywhere prank calling the restaurant or legitimately threatening these people with violence or death, please stop asap. The people working there are just doing their jobs and trying to make a living in the service industry. I kind of empathized with these people when they expressed how scared they were in the past few weeks with all the attention on their workplace.
I'm not saying this disproves anything, but just please focus on the owner himself, and stop threatening and harassing the people that work there.

Nobody from here is threatening or harrassing anyone at all.
you however are making prank calls and need to stop.

They don't close before 11pm, at least not when bands are playing. At least when there is live music, the show doesn't even end until 2am much of the time.

Well, someone posted the Facebook profiles of the Comet staff the other day. As far as I could tell, they seem like the typical lefty denizens of DC. A number of them had children of their own, and seemed to treat them well. Now, one would think that if your place of work was just a front company for a criminal ring, you might know about it. That's not necessarily the case.
Imagine setting up a front company pizza place that really just existed a distribution point for heroin. Are you going to hire a bunch of people you know are addicts, and tell them it's a front company? Hell no. They'd be in the back room all day, every day.. people getting dropped off at hospitals every week. Maybe they'd shamble out once in a while and freak customers out. Instead, you hire normal people, and get maybe one or two trusted guys to handle deliveries.
Same thing here. If you have 20 kids in a basement.. do you expect a bunch of pedophile and sadist staff to be up topside working for $15 an hour when they could be downstairs with their hearts desire? No, you hire normal people and never show them the secret basement. Otherwise, when people walk in, they'll be greeted by deranged blood soaked people, and that sure as hell isn't good cover for the operation.
I'm all for doxxing as part of the investigation, but we shouldn't be harassing people until we at least have solid evidence that they, as individuals, did something wrong. Also, perhaps wait for their circle of people to be investigated as well. We tipped these people off, and hard. Do you think there's any incriminating evidence left at Comet Ping Pong at this point? If people threatened innocent staff - that's not good either. I mean, I don't want to take the witch hunt out of the witch hunt, but can we at least figure out who the witches are before burning them?

Here's a quote from someone who says he used to work there: "It is a pedophile ring. I am sorry; not everyone there is complicit but the men behind the scenes are."

The people you were talking to may know absolutely nothing particularly if they were hired fairly recently. There may even be considerable turn over among the staff, so that only those with a continuous history of employment there may be in the picture.

If they're there that late after hours they know SOMETHING. And GLP is hilariously paranoid I miss it. I think the AMA is bullshit though he didn't release any tangible evidence, no smoking gun just wanted to say he worked there put himself in danger and that's about it...i personally would of never said anything

Why is it funny? I'm just trying to explain to people on here to not harass the employees at Comet
