On the other hand, what he's asking for isn't necessarily a smoking gun of anything. We don't really know what addresses he was trying to scrub, what emails were to be affected, etc...
I'm the first one?You are the first to jump to the front of the line and call every thing anti-Hillary a conspiracy only to be proven wrong time and time again.
Yup, it's him.
And yup, he's ed. This isn't going away.
That's hardly the case. And of course I'm going to find like Hillary has a double or that she has parkinson's and a secret doctor by her side hilarious. Of course I will.
As far as this guy getting in trouble..didn't he get immunity?

Did Reddit uncover the 'smoking gun' that could take down Hillary Clinton?
Reddit users claim to have uncovered new evidence revealing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s emails were altered just prior to and during a congressional investigation into the 2012 Benghazi attacks.
The House Oversight Committee is now reviewing a group of Reddit posts seemingly made by Paul Combetta, an IT specialist, who worked on Clinton’s private email server.
The posts, made on July 23, 2014, ask how to alter the contents of a “VERY VIP” person’s emails to strip out the “VIP” email address. On July 22, just one day prior to the post, the Benghazi Committee and State Department agreed on the production of such emails, according to the FBI.
Combetta is best known as the man who deleted emails from Clinton’s private server in 2015 after the House Select Committee on Benghazi issued a subpoena for records relating to the 2012 Benghazi attack.
The Clinton presidential campaign has said that Combetta, who was employed by Platte River Network to administer the server, acted on his own. The wording of this post suggests that, for significant alterations at least, orders may have come from the Clinton camp.
Email deletion, which took place months after these posts were made, are never mentioned.
If the posts prove to be genuine, critics argue the posts may show that Clinton staffers pushed for alterations to the emails in order to avoid scrutiny from law enforcement.
The Justice Department granted Combetta immunity this month in its investigation into Clinton’s private emails. Republican lawmakers have been pushing for further investigation into deletion of emails, but Combetta’s immunity deal stood in the way, as he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination and refused to testify before House Oversight Committee earlier this month.
The entire situation is extremely difficult to parse. It’s not clear yet if the posts are real, though evidence suggests this is really Combetta talking. If posts are real, it’s not clear that the “VERY VIP” email address was Clinton’s, nor is it certain the posts prove criminal action. And given the immunity that Combetta holds, as well as the status of the FBI investigation—the bureau recommended no charges against Clinton—it’s not clear what consequences these Reddit posts could have. Nevertheless, Trump supporters on Reddit believe this could be the “smoking gun” that ultimately takes down Clinton.
The ongoing House Oversight Committee investigation will ultimately decide how big a splash this stone will cause.
The Reddit posts were discovered on Monday and quickly reached the site’s front page. They were then promptly deleted by the user who also attempted to erase his entire account as thousands of onlookers watched. The efforts to delete were futile, however, because everything was thoroughly archived from the get go.
It’s not entirely clear yet if these posts were made by Paul Combetta, but the evidence is significant. The Reddit user making the 2014 post is named “stonetear,” which is a name shared by several Paul Combetta-linked accounts. Combetta.com is registered to [email protected] and the stonetear Etsy marketplace is listed under the name Paul Combetta.
While Clinton’s team argues that Combetta acted on his own, the wording of the stonetear post suggests otherwise.
“ o all- I may be facing a very interesting situation where I need to strip out a VIP’s (VERY VIP) email address from a bunch of archived email that I have both in a live Exchange mailbox, as well as a PST file,” stonetear wrote. “Basically, they don’t want the VIP’s email address exposed to anyone, and want to be able to either strip out or replace the email address in the to/from fields in all of the emails we want to send out. I am not sure if something like this is possible with PowerS , or exporting all of the emails to MSG and doing find/replaces with a batch processing program of some sort. Does anyone have experience with something like this, and/or suggestions on how this might be accomplished?”
One of the key pieces of language there is “they don’t want the VIP’s email address exposed to anyone,” suggesting that Combetta was not acting on his own but instead for “they,” which seems to refer to the people in charge—possibly the Clintons or their associates.
Clinton’s campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

This is what I mean when I say you delve too deep into conspiracies TSA.
Dont come crying when this turns into nothing which it will. Short of Hillary dropping dead, she's not going anywhere.TSA
Do you know what a conspiracy is? If yes please explain how this is a conspiracy.This is what I mean when I say you delve too deep into conspiracies TSA.

Maybe I read you wrong, but aren't you advancing that this guy received immunity from the DOJ to allegedly cover Shillary's dirty emails?
How's that not a conspiracy?
You read me wrong. I never said nor think he got immunity to cover her emails. I think this was unknown to the FBI. If not that's an even bigger can of worms. I'm hoping for the former.
I don't follow. The claim that this guy was working on his own was to the Congressional inquiry. We already know she lied there, post FBI investigation into the matter, so how is this revealing?
We know this guy already admitted to deleting the emails, post getting his immunity from the DOJ. The FBI isn't touching this again with a 10-foot pole and the immunity pretty much guarantees this guy won't get touched by anybody, including Congress.
Not saying that's right, but I don't quite get the excitement over this, nor what's the "smoking gun" here. Heck, admitting to deleting the emails is probably 100x more damning.
So you mean to tell me that the FBI who investigated this for over a year overlooked this findings that was already out there in the first place and that some randoms on reddit cracked "the code" per se?
That's funny.
You are either saying the FBI is inept, or they knew and covered it up, ergo your conspiracy is born.
And if you are hoping for the former, doesn't that mean the DOJ gave the guy immunity THEREFORE entering into a conspiracy to hide it?
Clinton campaign raced through $50 million last month
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/e80b3...ion-last-month
Hillary RAISED $50M more than Trash
she likes her liberals and does not allow media in there when she speaks
humm makes you wonder what she is saying
Combetta said he deleted the emails on his own. Clinton camp said they never told him to delete the emails. If "VIP" is indeed Hillary, and I have no reason to believe it is not given the timing of his questions on Reddit after Benghazi committee and the deletion of his posts after it was found out, this shows he was instructed to alter/delete the emails. And out the window goes Comey's "no intent".
I clearly said I think it was unknown to the FBI. You literally quoted it.So you mean to tell me that the FBI who investigated this for over a year overlooked this findings that was already out there in the first place and that some randoms on reddit cracked "the code" per se?

So the conspiracy is that Comey's "no intent" call was dubious? What else is new?
The problem here is that post is way too vague to be evidence of anything, and the biggest problem is that the guy has immunity from prosecution.
I don't think it was dubious as I don't think the FBI knew of Combetta asking how to alter emails to hide the sender. You'd know this better than I would but can't immunity be stripped if Combetta never told the FBI he was told to scrub the emails?So the conspiracy is that Comey's "no intent" call was dubious? What else is new?

Another interesting find by Reddit.
Combetta purchased a $290,000 home the day before his first post on Reddit asking how to scrub emails. Previously was renting the basement from his mom for $700/month.
Not by the FBI, AFAIK. The DOJ would be the one to have to do that. See what the problem is?
Plus the guy told the FBI straight up he deleted the emails, which actually is way worse, IMO, than allegedly editing them (regardless if he was told to or not).
The only way you're going to get traction on this is some sort of public outrage that applies pressure, but outside the fringe, I'm not seeing it. And that post is way too vague anyways.
