The Podesta emails were mentioned three times in the email - but none of them referenced the specific coded emails in question:
In early November, as Wikileaks steadily released piles of emails from Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta, one contact caught the attention of prankster sites and people on the paranoid fringes.
WHAT caught their attention? They don't say. Is that not a vital piece of information for readers?
The other references of the emails point out that Alefantis and Comet Pizza are mentioned in the emails as well. But they don't tie that string to the use of code words in the emails.
