Answer me this: Why would Herb find it necessary during a fun day of boating on the water to email John Podesta and tell him how much he was looking forward to "dominos tonight"? If we're talking about a simple, stupid game of dominoes, as seemingly insignificant as a bowl of onion dip, then why all the pointed emails about it?
Answer: How should I know? But he did. People do all sorts of stuff for all kinds of reasons. So what? Does that mean he found it necessary or that it was pointed? No that is your predetermined feelings about these people. You're the reading so much importance into it.
Also picking up on the odd bits that don't make initial sense is an aspect of conspiratorial thinking called anomaly hunting. You ingore the whole of the evidence and focus on the odd parts.
Reading Sandler's email I now see that you are in fact ignoring the whole of the evidence and misreading the email. And I know what Sandler discussed dominos. Sandler is replying to an email from Podesta in which Podesta
A. asks about their vaction
B. introduces a colleague looking for a job in California.
Everything has been fine, except that we missed you and Mary. We went on another boat ride with Chuck and Nancy Parrish. Bob Solow joined us. Lots of fun. He had a great line on the Greek situation which I will forward to you separately. Also had dinner with Skip, his daughter and her fiancée. He thinks you're great. Today-dominos. We won't be calling you for the rules.
Happy to meet with Terisita. I'm back in the office next week. OK to give her my contact info. How are you doing? Sent from my iPad
Sandler responds about his vacation and his says he'll meet with the woman.
Perfectly normal responses. Dominos is the not the subject of this email and it's a complete misreading of it to claim that it is. But dominos now seem to be a part of Vineyard vacations.
Also my dips are fantastic, no crappy soup mixes. 9 layers minimum. They would bring a tear to your eye.
