Are we supposed to be impressed this person is from MIT? Her analysis is pretty shallow and unconvincing. This analysis suffers from the same cardinal sin as this board. Assuming that Podesta was speaking in code.

No. No one has asked John Podesta directly to explain the unusual code language in the emails.

This is not a reasonable question, if there is no code being used.

Stratfor: >Once you have the Pizza version

This language is very clear to anyone who works in tech. They seem to be talking about testing software. It's quite common in the software world to give major builds of your code a label like PIZZA, so you can tell if bugs are happening in all version or just the PIZZA version or happening in MEATLOAF, but not in PIZZA. These are usually internal names, but Google has decided to use them as the official names of Android versions. The current version is NOUGAT. Previous versions included CUPCAKE and JELLY BEAN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history

She also seems to be claiming that Podesta somehow slipped up in this interview.

A Freudian slip, also called parapraxis, is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of an unconscious subdued wish or internal train of thought. Dictionary.com

He did not. His use of subterranean makes perfect sense. It's not a slip up, it's not a mistake, it's a metaphor that he returns to several times. He contrasting what he called a "subterranean media ecosystem" (places like Infowars) and the "above ground" mainstream media. It's absolutely clear what he is talking about. VOAT is absolutely part of this subterranean world.

She never explains why she this this is a slip up, she just says this

Everyone should decide for themselves, but I would prefer an official investigation.

I for one want to know what right does the state have to conduct an official investigation into what words John Podesta or anyone else uses in their email. Especially in the absence of any evidence of a crime. "An official investigation?" Because she misses his metaphor? Or doesn't understand software processes?

Lunacy.

Wow beautifully done, it's almost as if you don't believe John Podesta is involved in child molestation, is that what you're saying?

Yes. Based on the fact I've not seen one reasonable piece of evidence that indicates that. And I've seen a lot of lies told trying to indicate that. Pasta with walnut sauce is one of those lies.

So why are you on /pizzagate in that case?
