I think handkerchief is code for flashdrive and pillows means pills. She's cleaning up after him. Map means minor-attracted-person and pizza means child porn. She's telling him she thinks he left an incriminating flashdrive behind--with footage of sex between an adult and a child.

I have no idea why ....

This is called argument from lack of imagination. Whether or not you have no idea of something has no effect on if it's true or not.

Nothing was physically mailed. An offer to return something by mail was made. It was turned down.

Your suspicions don't prove anything about this email.

It definitely seems like it is related to some type of sex party... handkerchiefs are regularly used at swinger parties to indicate what you are looking for... what the 'pizza' reference means is the ticket. But in no way would a realtor or anyone else bother to chase up someone regarding a lost, ordinary handkerchief.

This is nonsense. This is something you've been told. The handkerchief code from 70s and 80s does not apply to private parties or swingers. It was for use in gay bars. There would be no need to use it in a small private event.

But in no way would a realtor or anyone else bother to chase up someone regarding a lost, ordinary handkerchief.

This flat out silly. High end realtors know that providing this level of customer service can help retain clients for next summer

"A map that's pizza-related" being drawn on a handkerchief certainly made me stop and wonder. Yes, customer service from a realtor is valuable, so I can see offering to return one that was left behind, but what of this map? Who draws maps on handkerchiefs, and why in the age of Google, a "pizza-related" one?

Who draws maps on handkerchiefs

Lots of people. It's actually a design trend. Go to Etsy and look up handkerchief map.

Pizza and food maps of Italy are very common images. You can find lots of stock images like this

And the 'pizza related' reference??

By chasing up someone's handkerchief???? That is absurd. A

Absurd?

You are proposing on the basis of nothing that this email is about some sort of sex party. Do you not see how absurd that is? You've convinced yourself that this is a coded email and then on top of that you've determined that code involves a sex party.

It's ludicrous.

The realtor found two items left in the house a set of pillows the renters had bought on the island and this printed cloth. The realtor offered to return the items. Only one of the items were the renter's and she asked Podesta if he wanted the other item. He did not.

Tell me how you get from that email to a swingers sex party with no absurd leaps of logic.

Even if they did, where does that leave us? So they can't explain the handkerchief thing, or maybe they can ("it was an actual handkerchief that we were talking about, end of story"), now what? This is a wasted opportunity if this is the point we choose out of the bunch to present to people. This handkerchief thing isn't gonna swing anyone and there are much more damning things to go after, imo.

In my experience, it's actually quite effective to simply show those emails to people and asking "What do YOU think it means?"
