Reddit post apparently related to Clintons email coverup

a reply to: Steak

That doesn't even make sense, does it? You would have to be stupid or named James Comey to believe that!

Why would an IT guy act on his own and go to so much trouble to do something like that if his higher ups told him to preserve it? What was in it for him to go against his bosses? No, he was told to get rid of it, delayed or neglected to do so, then realized the ramifications for not doing it, got on Redditt to ask for technical help, and the cat crawled out of the bag.

Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, said that the deletions by the specialist, who worked for a Colorado company called Platte River Networks, had already been “thoroughly examined by the F.B.I. prior to its decision to close out this case.”

“As the F.B.I.’s report notes,” Mr. Fallon said, “neither Hillary Clinton nor her attorneys had knowledge of the Platte River Network employee’s actions. It appears he acted on his own and against guidance given by both Clinton’s and Platte River’s attorneys to retain all data in compliance with a congressional preservation request.” A lawyer for Mr. Combetta and a spokesman for the Justice Department declined to comment.

Acted on his own
...and here he is taking the 5th.
NOW we know why these people were given immunity. It was never so they could admit what Hillary had asked them to do, it was to close all doors to the truth.

So who is 'they' and 'we,' then in his reddit post?

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.

If he wasn't talking about Hillary's email archive, he better be able to give another Client's name and a good explanation.

And it will have to be someone "we would recognize," because that was also in a comment from him in that thread.

I hope Congress does not drop the ball on their questioning of Combetta.

Keep that info in your hip pocket, that article was published prior to Combetta's "plead the 5th" appearance in front of Congress.... 9/9/16

... Before this new information surfaced....

Begs the question, what more can one do?

Whoever randomly remembered this reddit thread and exposed it, you're awesome! And thanks OP for the thread. Mostly commenting to keep tabs on the development of things.

Well, you can contact your Congressmen/women. Didn't do me much good, but then they can't ALL be bought and paid for, right? You can send emails to the crooked mainstream media. If enough of us did that, something would happen. The fact is, way too many of us, do absolutely NOTHING, but bitch and moan about it. And that is exactly why it has gotten to this point...

So, Combetta is caught red handed deleting the emails (states evidence) and the DOJ grants immunity while the FBI goes along with it...

To bad for Mr. Combetta, I see another suicide on the way - and the Clinton's dodge another one... Hopefully, this story gains steam and the public votes this corruption out of our Government.

Enough is Enough.

There are no good conclusions here.

Either the FBI knew that Combetta didn't act alone and they buried it, or someone asked Combetta to lie to the FBI and take the blame. I do not believe in a million years that Combetta would just take it upon himself to take the blame. He would only do that if he knew he would get immunity, in return.

Anyway you slice it, there's a conspiracy here and the FBI may even be a part of it.


The one thing I don't think the FBI or the Clintons knew, is that Combetta asked this question on Reddit.

Sounds like someone is setup to take the fall.

What I don't get is if he wasn't told to delete or edit the emails why would he? What would be his motive too want to even want to change the emails? He's an IT guy what was in the email wasn't his problem or at least shouldn't be.

A timeline presented in this article:

Day #2 – Hillary’s I.T. Guy Paul Combetta, aka: “stonetear” – The Reddit and The Timeline…

When Paul Combetta aka “stonetear” woke up yesterday morning, it’s doubtful he would have suspected a two year old archive written under his Reddit pseudonym would have been on his mind.

However, someone must have alerted him asap because within hours of our story hitting the web (04:45am EDT) Combetta began furiously deleting his Reddit postings, user information, and various media forum histories.

In addition to secondarily confirming his real-life identity, in legal-speak such behavior is called: “consciousness of guilt“.

Now that "they" asked him to strip out a VIP's email address, this becomes a conspiracy.

More than one person is going to have to take the fall, and I don't see how a conspiracy investigation can be avoided.

I am trying to think of how they can spin this to minimize the damage and number of people implicated.

Will others at Platte River take the fall to keep Clinton people from being implicated AND possibly the FBI?

This is going to be a tricky one to pull off.

Now we know that email archive existed on July 24th and was deleted AFTER the July 23rd subpeona.

I think you just nailed it.

Now The DOJ & FBI look bad - HRC still has plausible deniability at this stage. From here on out it comes down to how much pressure the Congress/Media/Public can apply.

This is the real deal folks.

She only has plausible deniability if others at Platte River agree to take the blame for asking Combetta to tamper with the email addresses in the archive, and then ultimately delete the archive -- even though the House Select Committee had reached an agreement with the State Department to produce them.

And that can hardly be considered plausible although I am sure they could make it work legally-speaking.

But if others at Platte River take the blame, they are now open to criminal conspiracy charges. Can they be convinced to take that kind of a fall for the Clintons?

...Perhaps they'll be assured a pardon. Then we'd really get a good whiff of the stink in the federal government.

PURE RUMOR....

Saw a tweet saying that Combetta has flipped and is ready to sing like a bird....

Will just have to wait and see if that has any basis in reality..

He needs to call a press conference and sing, like, NOW...before he is 'shut up.' If he values his safety, he needs to shout the truth from the rooftops today and ignore all advice from his attorney to say nothing.

And then he needs to find a new attorney that will advise him according to his best interests...not Hillary's.

I believe this hole scenario is very real and we have enough supporting evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt it was him. Now with that in mind, go look at some of the posts he has done before not only revealing this hole clinton email thing but also his address, his pets, his car the guy had absolutely no clue the consequences for posting information online.

This should also be a big reminder for all of you out there. Be very carefully what you post online, what you take pictures of etc. Anything can be used against you later on. Now if your on facebook taking a picture of your new credit card that has a custom picture there is no hope for you just carry on.

Now I feel Combetta should not have to be charged with any of this. Look at the client he was working for, you stfu and do your job. Unfortunately this guy was just a dork and probably wen't to college for I.T. and just proves 90% of these idiots out here that have a degree in Information Technology have no business managing high profile systems or even a reddit account.

If I offend anyone who has a degree in any IT related category, be honest you picked it because the hot chick said business majors are losers. However us who did not goto school to learn how to use Microsoft Word/Excel we are out here managing real data centers, networks and computer systems. We aren't creating formula's in excel and posting on reddit.

Apparently, we have a devoted #

If true you're correct - he probably realizes he'll be the next Seth Rich if not.

Which is why I mentioned it in a prior post affecting his immunity deal. It's possible he forgot he made those posts, not that it would make much difference to the effects on his deal.

It's public now, fallout to be expected.
