While Wikileads #55433 is one of the most cited of the Podesta emails (the "pizza related map" one) there is an aspect that is only rarely mentioned. If you look at the original message from the realtor Kathryn Tate it states: "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." This was sent to Susan and Herbert Sandler. Note that nothing was stated in this email about pizza or a map. Ms. Tate sees this as nothing more than someone left a handkerchief and she wants to know where to send it.
So now Susan Sandler emails John Podesta with "The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related. Is it yorus (sic)? 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." So where does Ms. Sandler get the idea that this handkerchief is "pizza related" or that it has a "map" from what Ms. Tate told her? It's not to be found. So it is clear that Ms. Sandler inferred from the description that the handkerchief was potentially important. It seems that she must know something about Podesta. A literal interpretation is clearly not correct and that the words pizza and map are a cryptic reference.
Using the PIzzaGate codes this is message makes sense in that Ms. Sandler was concerned that this handkerchief might have evidence of illicit activity. Podesta's response suggests that either this is not the case here or that he just isn't worried. At any rate this construction makes this far more evidential than simply to look at it as "pizza related map" .. WTF? Rather it indicates that Ms. Sandler is familiar with Podesta's activity or at a minimum strongly suspects it. She seeks to protect him.

the other part of that email that is somewhat less interesting but still so is:
"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."
It sounds like Sandler bought some pillows and put them in the rental house for this event, and now Tate is going to pick them up for her. Probably nothing, just putting it out there as things tend to get lost in this email given the big handkerchief part of it. Maybe Sandler was the event coordinator...maybe pillow is a code word....also if there's a "realtor" involved does this mean they have been renting out homes that are for sale? And who is the realtor in question? Whoever it is, Podesta doesn't seem to worried about him/her. This email tells a bigger story...

I'm almost suspicious that you posted that as spin for the post right before yours.
Here's the thing: if the first part about the hanky is as nefarious as theorized, the next part about pillows purchased isn't referring to some fluffy pillows for Podesta to rest his head on. It would be referring to more trafficking related paraphernalia. If part b is innocent, then part a is innocent.
There is no reason that anyone should understand everything in an email describing events they weren't part of and it's confirmation bias fallacy to define words as code to make what is being described understandable to them. Not saying it's not possible, just saying.

I brought the pillow sentence up because maybe it is code for drugs or a trafficking term as you say. I don't doubt. If it was referring simply to actual pillows to be used at an orgy with adults and children, I would be surpised. Thought I'd learned recently that "pillow" was a term for a large bag of cocaine...anyway putting this topic out there for ideas...(going now to see what the post before mine was..)
