What do you mean, "ridiculous" "rumour"? Do you not accept the authenticity of DKIM-authenticated Wikileaks e-mails? It is written there, black on white, byte for byte. EDIT: Just to clarify. The e-mail in question specifically contains "spirit cooking" so it is in no way a rumour. What that means exactly - well, yes, that is open to your interpretation and imagination.

The authenticity of the emails is one thing. The meaning of the authenticated words is quite another. What is, apparently, authenticated is that John Podesta's brother invited him to a "Spirit Cooking dinner" (those are the relevant three words that are part of the authenticated email) hosted by a performance artist named Marina Abramovic. What is not authenticated at all is what "Spirit Cooking dinner" means. One possibility is that it is a Satanic orgy ritual. One possibility is that it is a perfectly normal dinner with normal human food, celebrating / related to a performance art project named Spirit Cooking (see, e.g., https://www.moma.org/collection/works/143945 https://www.moma.org/collection/works/143945). The email doesn't rule either of those possibilities out.

  The Satanic Orgy suggestions are just crazy people crazying, aren't they? I mean there's no sensible reason to think it's anything more sinister than a slightly insalubrious performance art thing.

  Well, if Abramovic is involved, it ain't gonna be a perfectly normal dinner. It's going to be a very interesting one.

  It's not as crazy as someone suggesting (from the same leaked emails) that some amount of money spent on pizza was actually for prostitutes because pizza is a codeword for prostitutes. They need to hurry up and get this election over with because it's making the whole world stupider.

How would you describe something that is in no way based in reality? The only "reality" is an email that, as far as anyone can tell, is linked to a performance artist. Imagine if anyone in the campaign was invited to a transgressive art[1] exhibit! People would be talking about the Clintons eating fetuses! (Actually, never mind, there's people already doing that...) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgressive_art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgressive_art
