Tucker ran in elite circles. It was a business the elites frequented. We know that Comet Ping Pong was still a legitimate business front, and was the talk of the town due to Alefantis' status as one of the most powerful people in D.C.

Everyone who ate there or checked it out is not guilty just for visiting, nor booking a VIP slot.

Just like the suspected human trafficking where you buy a rug with some missing kid's name and get rejected, it is sound to conclude that you have to be whitelisted to actually have that go through.

Was Tucker white listed? Who knows.

But it's not necessarily a point against him if you consider the circumstances. Worth investigating further, not working to discredit based off of that alone.

Why would it come out now, when Tucker is separated from Mockingbird and successfully battling their programming? Some discernment is important instead of latching on to rumors and speculation.
