Okay, so y'all remember Pizzagate, yes? In case you don't, it was, and I suppose still is, the conspiracy theory that prominent Dems and some supporters were using a pizzeria as a base for sex-crimes against children.
Well, one of the reporters, Peter Bright, who insisted that it was all nonsense and that's not how pedophiles would operate has just been arrested on child sex-crime charges himself.

However the fact that he called himself Dr. Pizza and was so active in denouncing the claims makes it seem like he was covering for people, maybe even himself. I don't like to wear the
but in this case it might be justified.
Here's a collection to some of his tweets:
If the charges are true, I both hope and do not hope that he has something to trade for a lighter sentence. As in the dirt on certain Dems and supporters.
Because if he does have something to trade that means there really were crimes, a lot of of crimes, against children and that's freaking horrible to contemplate. But if there were and he rolls then that means justice will be coming for those who truly deserve it. And maybe this could be the domino that starts a lot more of a reckoning for a bunch of folks who have committed a wide range of other crimes as the pedophiles trade that info in an attempt to mitigate their own fates.
But if he doesn't that could mean that there were no crimes against children and he's just a one-off pervert working his own thing or that he was not privy to any information about actual crimes and maybe took a defensive stance because he didn't want others, even if he had no idea if they did anything, who were possibly like him to be outed.
On balance, if I had to choose, I would choose the option where there were no crimes against children of course. But if there were, I hope he has salient and actionable information.
