Have you seen the paintings in Tony Podesta's house? I know art is subjective, but if I saw someone who collects the type of art Tony does, I would stay as far away as possible, and maybe report them for it.

Actually, I haven't. What I do know is that he donated some artworks by Maria Marshall to a museum.[0] I find the work of this particular artist repulsive and I would think twice before entering any relationship with a person who is collecting this kind of art. Nevertheless, it's not enough to accuse him of pedophilia.

In any case, if there had been any truth in the accusations, Trump had more than enough time to follow all the leads and find something that could be used as a proof. So everything we have is a smear campaign.

Report them to who? Not sure there's a US government agency that's interested in getting reports of people having art that offends someone's sense of morality. Maybe some CCP agency is what you're interested in?
