Apologies if this has been brought up before. I just now stumbled upon this information. All of the explanations I have seen in regard to the 14 and fish on his hands in this picture pointed to the occult (such as in this video, among other places). I thought it was plausible at the time. Today though, I did some looking of my own, and this is what I found:

This is the email which that image was attached to. The last line reads "My favorite of the #GlobalGoals? No. 14— we must protect our oceans and life below water #SDGs".

After Googling, I found this page on globalgoals.org and this page.

So, the 14 represents Global Goals's #14 goal, "life below water". And notice how similarly styled the fish is on both that website and Podesta's hand.

Mystery solved, in my opinion.

I'm not trying to debunk pizzagate in its entirety. I think there are many strange things that deserve being answered and looked into. I'm just trying to do my part in uncovering the truth, regardless of which side it comes down on. The explanation I've provided seems much more plausible to me than the previous popular explanation.
