Not illegal

The thing is, we're not just dealing with one issue here. We've got a problem here in England as well and officials on the current investigation are constantly resigning because they are being blocked from accessing the required evidence. Only somebody at the very top could restrict a public inquiry, simple as that. Defend them, go ahead, take your place next to them against the wall.

Not illegal
Do you have any links to legislation confirming that?
Just think about this for a moment. We're not exactly talking about a child in underwear in a clothes catalogue, which would likely be exempted from any existing laws so long as they're modest enough (I wouldn't exactly call it modest at all, I don't think catalogues should be allowed to do this but it unlikely to be illegal anywhere in the USA).
I'm specifically concerned about two paintings; one which depicts a fully grown man engaging in oral sex with what is clearly a child, and the other being three people stood around a bed watching an adult having sex with a child. Anybody with half a braincell would be condemning that if it is being displayed anywhere, be it in a home, a gallery or a pizza joint. Now, in this case I believe the paintings were by a victim of child abuse so I'm not going to question the intent behind their creation, but as soon as they're being displayed for all to see then the only conclusion is that the person displaying them is gratified by it and is glorifying the abuse of children. If that isn't illegal then it damned well should be.

you must be symbol illiterate. You are also ignoring mountains and mountains of previous evidence agains the "leaders" of this world.
I am not friends with any pedofiles. I'm guessing you are not either, and if you found out one of your friends was that would be the end of the friendship.
The Clinton Foundation is surrounded by convicted pedofiles and connected to some very suspicious restaurant owner/instagrammers.
Anyone against a full scale investigation of this is completely out of their minds.
If there is a full scale investigation and nothing comes up, thats great. But all I see in the media is an absolute cover up.
edit: I'm sure your just defending your belief system.

I must admit it's a little ironic to be accused of any sort of illiteracy by someone who does not spell "pedophile" correctly.
You are conflating different accusations. Whatever you may think of scandal X does not translate to supporting evidence for accusation Y. Further, most people who accuse the Clintons of being thus "surrounded" are similarly exaggerating and conflating. This is specifically true in the case of #PizzaGate, where no relationship between the owner and Hillary Clinton exists. That doesn't keep people from asserting it is so as though it is beyond question, however.
I'm not defending anyone. I am pointing out how irresponsible and wrong it is to levy such accusations based on the fevered imaginings of the extreme right. There is always a reason why a cogent argument cannot be made and evidence cannot be provided. It's just so obvious! I'm not going to do your research for you! And then skeptics are accused of ignoring the "mountains of evidence". If the evidence is so clear and there is so very much of it, why is it so difficult for someone here on ATS to compose a calm and rational argument for why this is true?
And do you see how this lazy application of language and logic becomes dangerous? You've reframed my skepticism about the truth of the accusations as a defense of pedophilia. That's unethical and irresponsible in the extreme.
Immediately preceding this post is a train of logic that seems to suggest #PizzaGate must be true because of the existence of paintings in Europe. The implication was that the paintings were owned by and displayed at Comet, but they weren't. The people propelling this myth are playing very fast and very loose with the truth.

Actually the topic is pizzagate's validity. Claiming that these paintings had been at Comet seems to have been another fabrication.
It really isn't building up at this point and some things are being debunked.
