You said it "they're being considerate of their hosts. So that the hosts know what to expect". Like others have stated. Why would their "family" go without them? Its just not how social events operate, and frankly never have.

Wait...were the kids going without the parents? I missed that if so.

"who will be visiting the week of March16th" definitely an affirmative "will be". Secondly: "Patti and I would like to be include, however, if there are too many people, then we will be happy to sit this one out". Makes no mention of the other members of the family, only "Patty and I". All it is is strange, but in conjunction with everything else, this adds further weight.

Theupsidedown

True, I see your point.

Great find. I never saw this email either. Why the ages? But the most important part for me is this: "Patti and I would like to be include, however, if there are too many people, then we will be happy to sit this one out."

WTH does that even mean? That she's going to send her family to meet with the Podestas ... a family that doesn't know them, apparently, or why the list of ages ... but send the family to this "party" anyway? That makes no sense because Patti and Karen would be the reason for this relationship and invitation. And again it's weird, that Patti and Karen would be willing to skip this one, but not the children? Usually, when adults gather, it's the kids that don't attend when there's no room. I never heard of the parent or adult staying home and sending the kids along to someone they've never met. Why would they even do that? Would love to know what other "children" attended this gathering and their ages. Is this a requirement at the Podestas? To write and tell them the ages of any children that will be thrown in the pool for entertainment?

DefenderOfTruth

The ones that potentially sat out are NOT the parents, just the ones making the request. There are still several adults going (including mom and dad) whether or not those two go.

Sorry, I completely believe in PG, but this email looks kosher to me.

Giving kids ages helps the staff know how to tailor the tour, provides ID expectations (the 5 yr old will most likely not have a photo ID..etc) and may influence the food they serve (if any).

No, you're not getting it. If person "A" knew someone influential, and they were throwing a party, person "A" would want to bring their family to meet them. Especially if person "A" were marrying into the family. Person "A" might send a wish list of who they wanted to attend, BUT the kids would be the first ones scrubbed from the list if there were too many attending. Person "A" is the one that knows everyone and would make the introductions. The kids don't go in lieu of Person "A", the kids go IF there's enough room. That's how it is in my world. Don't know what planet you're on, but let's see there's a Thanksgiving dinner at the in-laws -- your in-laws. So you send your nieces and nephews and you stay home because adults THAT ARE STRANGERS TO THESE KIDS will be there? Okay, yeah, sure. That's done all the time ...

I wouldn't be surprised if they were trading children for favours. Nakamura seems obsequious and thanks Podesta for helping her out. She may be offering up children in payment.

Don-Keyhote

theyre not going to a dinner party, it says white house visit right at the top.

Don-Keyhote

this woman is not related to podesta nor paule-carres, since she says 'my family'

she is a behavioral therapist or something, her sister beth a high swchool counselor, the hopemans own a web business selling fake plants.

what could these nobodies have to do with podesta.

2impendingdoom

Karen Nakamaru is married to Philip Paule Carres, the son of Patti and Glenn Paule Carres. These nobodies are first cousins. Married in 2014 in San Diego CA.

Commonwombat

I think Karen is married to a Paule-Carre, Patti's brother, perhaps? She is on Facebook as Karen Nakamaru Paule Carre and is friends with Mary Podesta. Edited to get my facts right

Don-Keyhote

the sister of this woman karen nakamaru married an eberl, i wonder who karen married. since its a white house visit the ages could be to acquire security passes or something.

Commonwombat

Karen married a Paule-Carre. Facebook profile Karen Nakamaru Paule-Carre

TRUTHWARRIOR

It's strange but not really actionable. Good for the circumstantial file though 😉😉

EQJ

WAIT! WTF I have seen tens of thousands of Podesta emails and I'm yet to See THIS!.......WHY do they find it SO important "as promised" to include the AGES of the children in this list?! Who does that!? Again...... WTF!

RIGGED_ELECTION

Could this be related to the image of Obama holding that little asian girl in a compromising manner?

postfascion

Wtf ever. No, its not specifically related to this post, but IS related to the predatory tastes of those in power. Great job in joining the dots and trying to water down the op. Let's keep on topic here, this is a good find. The shill activity on this one is making it more convincing than it already was.

As a parent, that photo makes me cringe.

Orange_Circle

I think that's his niece.
