Still waiting for a valid explanation of what pizza is code for because they certainly aren’t talking about pizza the food in those emails.

Okay, I'll bite. I don't think John Podesta has officially commented on what the emails mean, but I think it's pretty safe to assume it is actually quite literal, and they were indeed talking about a handkerchief, a map, and pizza.

> Subject: You left something at the Field house > Susan & Herb > I just came from checking the Field house and I have a square cloth handkerchief (white w/ black) that was left on the kitchen island. > Happy to send it via the mail if you let me know where I should send it.

> I also meant to inquire yesterday about the pillows you purchased. I can send them as well, if you let me know where they are in the house.

> Safe travels to all > Kate

> Hi John,

> The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related. Is it yorus? They can send it if you want. > I know you're busy, so feel free not to respond if it's not yours or you don't want it.

> Susaner

I mean, they're talking about a handkerchief with a pattern of a map, with various food items on it, like pizza. I have never seen such a handkerchief, but this is almost certainly some sort of a novelty handkerchief with a map of Italy, featuring various types of cuisine common to the region. Which kind of makes sense, since it's a napkin.

Why would you assume it is coded? The realtor emails and says, hey, you forgot your handkerchief. Podesta's friend, who was with him, emails him and says, hey, I think that's your handkerchief, the one with the map and pizza and stuff.

And this is supposed to be unusual? This is just how people talk.

I somehow hope they were talking about light drugs. Given the amount of storm it caused, it's beyond me why there was no official examination, to say nothing about explanation.

[newacct583]

Official examination of what? I mean, yeah, you're probably right. More likely than not they were talking about weed. Or plausibly sex workers. Something embarassing. Certainly not child trafficking in a literal pizza shop.

> Given the amount of storm it caused

It really didn't. Except for the lunatic who walked into the restaurant with a gun, almost none of this stuff penetrated mainstream media. FOX watchers got their fill, but they weren't swayable votes, by definition. To the eyeballs the Clinton campaign cared about, Pizzagate was a non-issue.

Lefties like me only like to talk about it because it was so crazy insane. This isn't what cost the election.

[IIAOPSW]

Why are you certain they aren't talking about pizza?

[recursive]

You may be waiting for a long time. That doesn't really provide any support for the satanic child sex cult thing either though.

[rorykoehler]

I don’t know what they’re talking about. Could literally be anything but they would only codify something they wanted to hide. It’s very weird but I’m not into speculating.

[lowtolerance]

You’re outwardly speculating that it’s coded speech simply because you lack context.

[oblongx]

Don't forget the 65K in hot dogs.

[blockmarker]

Drugs maybe?

[_curious_]

Has it been proven that those emails were real in the first place?

I too was confused by the use of what appears to be coded language, but then thought to myself: wait, is what I am reading authentic?

[dependenttypes]

The DKIM signatures were valid.

[bassrattle]

Yes, the emails were real. It was proven and never denied.

[ben_w]

Would you even bother trying to confirm or deny emails about pizza? I'd consider it an even bigger waste of time than supplying the long form of a birth certificate after someone decided that the short form wasn’t good enough proof of nationality for someone who was by that point already the elected president.
