| | :The reliable source is James Alefantis own Instagram account archived for all to see. I can provide the link if you can't find it. He is a public figure, having been featured in GQ. He wrote an op-ed for WaPo last week. It's relevant to point out that a person at the center of the conspiracy is of questionable character. And again, he is well connected with the top of the democrat party. It is well documented how the left uses their resources to smear the right. I am for promoting smears against the left. Eventually like all conspiracies, this will become old news such as 9/11 truthers. Until then, the pressure will be kept on. --Jpatt 22:40, 22 April 2017 (EDT) | | :The reliable source is James Alefantis own Instagram account archived for all to see.

| | ::I personally never have used Instagram. Conservapedia's policy is well grounded in libel law and the ''New York Times v. Sullivan'' case. I doubt that James Alefantis qualifies as a public figure, even if he was featured in GQ magazine. Hypothetically, if CP were to publish gossip about Mr. Alefantis and he in turns sues CP for libel, we (particularly the author) would have a tough time defending ourselves. In contrast if Hillary Clinton sued CP for libel, under New York Times v. Sullivan, we would argue that Clinton would have to prove "actual malice" to win the case. For these reasons, the Conservapedia Commandments should be applied to allow coverage of PizzaGate and the historic fact the Clinton and Posdesta were implicated. We should not name lesser figures, describe their deleted social media accounts, or take a position that the rumors were true. CP is not a fake news website with hidden ownership. Rather it is a legitimate online encyclopedia with clear ownership, management, policies and accountability. If you and Andy want to take the legal risk and lead with your chin, I will not stop you, but I won't donate to the PizzaGate Legal Defense Fund either.
