That was my question too. And my gut feeling is it's related and is probably one of the reasons Seth took the risk he took. DC is a pretty small place and word traveled fast down there before the Interwebs. God knows how fast it travels today. I bet a lot of people down there know what a panda means.

I believe I've read it had to do with appearance of the children. Meow, if I recall, they get black under their eyes from abuse.

Considering the closeness to politics and pizza gate, and beanies quietness on this. its a possibility there may be more to this. combined with the fact that the family doesn't seem so interested in finding his killers

Could he be a furry?

1. He could have gone to the Smithsonian zoo and seen the adorable Panda babies because they really are too frickin cute

2. Somebody (like say Podesta) could have started calling him Panda to fuck with him and he had no clue. That email where someone comments about the walnut sauce, and another person says "he doesn't even know what he's talking about"...

3. He likes to fuck drugged children while dressed as a panda

I'm voting for #1 only because #3 wouldn't be consistent with a whistleblower and not #2 as its probable that someone would have clued him in after a while.

Any other options?

I've been wondering the same thing.
