RE: The Hillary Clinton thread
Reddit and /pol/ pulled through once again: http://thehill.com/policy/national-secur...ton-emails
Quote:House panel looking into Reddit post about Clinton's email server
The House Oversight Committee is reviewing a Reddit post that alleges an IT specialist who worked on Hillary Clinton’s private server sought advice on how to alter the contents of “VERY VIP” emails, according to Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.).
Meadows is the chairman of the panel’s Government Operations subcommittee.
“The Reddit post issue and its connection to Paul Combetta is currently being reviewed by OGR staff and evaluations are being made as to the authenticity of the post,” Meadows told The Hill.
Reddit users appear to have uncovered a two-year-old post from an account believed to belong to Combetta, an engineer with Platte River Networks. The Denver, Colo.-based firm managed Clinton’s private server.
The post, which has been deleted but can be read in images archived by Reddit users, coincides with the discovery of Clinton’s use of the server.
“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… 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,” reads the post, by a user called "stonetear."
“Does anyone have experience with something like this, and/or suggestions on how this might be accomplished?”
Combetta is currently one of the targets of a broader Oversight investigation on whether Clinton ordered the destruction of emails that had been subpoenaed by the Benghazi Select Committee.
“If it is determined that the request to change email addresses was made by someone so closely aligned with the Secretary's IT operation as Mr. Combetta, then it will certainly prompt additional inquiry,” Meadows told The Hill. “The date of the Reddit post in relationship to the establishment of the Select Committee on Benghazi is also troubling.”
The Reddit message was sent on July 23, 2014, according to an archive of the page saved by other users. The day before, the Benghazi Committee had reached an agreement with the State Department on the production of related records, according the FBI's investigation into Clinton's use of the server.
The identity of the "stonetear" user is not confirmed. Reddit users point to the fact that an account on the online marketplace Easy for a Paul Combetta has the username "stonetear" and the inactive website combetta.com is registered to the email address [email protected]
Combetta appeared under subpoena in a committee hearing last week on the alleged destruction of evidence, but both he and colleague Bill Thornton exercised their Fifth Amendment right not to testify.
The committee has scheduled another hearing on the “preservation of State Department records” for Thursday.
Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has issued a criminal referral asking the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia to investigate deletions from the server.
This latest probe stems from revelations from the 58-page report issued by the FBI summarizing its investigation into Clinton’s use of the server.
According to the FBI’s report, an unnamed Platte River Networks technician deleted an archive of emails from the server in March 2015 — after the House Select Committee on Benghazi had issued a subpoena for records relating to the 2012 attack on the Libyan outpost.
According to the FBI’s notes, longtime Clinton aide Cheryl Mills instructed Platte River Networks to delete a set of archived emails in December 2014. Mills told investigators Clinton had decided she no longer needed access to emails older than 60 days.
But the technician apparently forgot the request and didn’t immediately comply. According to the FBI report, between March 25 and March 31 of 2015, the technician “believed he had an 'oh shit' moment and ... deleted the Clinton archive mailbox from the [Platte River Networks] server.”
Reporting from The New York Times has since identified Combetta as that technician, citing an anonymous law enforcement official and others familiar with the FBI probe.
Clinton and Mills told the FBI that they had no knowledge of the technician’s deletion of the emails. The technician, according to the report, "was aware of the existence of the [Benghazi Committee] preservation request and the fact that it meant he should not disturb Clinton's email data on the [Platte River Networks] server."
Chaffetz’s referral asks that the Justice Department investigate whether Clinton or her aides were involved in the decision to delete the archive when it was under subpoena and a request for preservation of records.
Democrats have slammed the investigation as a partisan attack designed to damage Clinton’s presidential run.
If I've learned anything personally from this election campaign, it is to never, ever fuck with autists, no matter how seemingly beta they may be. Weaponize that shit and it can be absolutely devastating.

HuffPo: Why Hillary Lost, a premature obit
Quote:On the high, crenelated ramparts of Castle Clinton, a chill breeze is stirring ― a faint but gnawing sense that the White Walkers are coming, wearing “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” baseball caps on their skinless noggins.
If Donald Trump does sack the fortress, no one who lost the battle will want to admit it was Hillary Clinton’s fault. It will have had nothing to do with, say, “transparency” or calling bearded villagers “deplorables” or the Iraq War vote or the simple fact that middle-of-the-road Clintonism ran out of gas as a public philosophy.
No, other individuals, groups and forces will have to be blamed. In fact, they already are, pre-emptively. If Trump wins, we’re all going to be too busy moving to Canada to read the postmortems (or write them), so we offer them to you now:
RANK REASON
1
THE MEDIA
Everyone’s piñata. Trump will blame the media. Gary Johnson will blame the media. Jill Stein will blame the media. (The media will ask, “Wait, which one was Jill Stein?”)
2
THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING
Actually, they arrived long ago and got into her phone.
3
MILLENNIALS
Ugh. F**cking idealists, right?
4
BERNIE SANDERS
Remember when people worried that running unopposed in the primary would hurt Clinton? It's going to be an endless wail about how Sanders should have withdrawn sooner.
5
BILL CLINTON
You know how this will go down: Best campaigner of all time and he couldn’t close the sale. He lost his mojo.
6
SEXISTS
Ugh. F**cking glass ceiling.
7
OBAMA PEOPLE
If they could delete all of David Axelrod's tweets, they would.
8
JAMES COMEY
He might as well have indicted her for real, like he did in the court of public opinion. Extremely careless.
9
DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ AND THE DNC
Her Soviet-style approach to boosting Clinton was something that Hillary’s campaign was happy to countenance. But the former DNC chair should have left room for dissent rather than let it bottle up.

RE: The Hillary Clinton thread
The answer to why didn't the FBI investigate stonetear before now is simple: they didn't know about it.
The answer is obvious because this is damning to both Clinton and the FBI and given that the FBI recommended not to prosecute you can bet your ass if they knew this account and it's contents existed they would have had it scrubbed long before now.
We were meant for far more than to suffer in our self created prisons only to die alone. It doesn't have to be that way. It never did.

This will be true but not for any of the shitlib reasons. The real reason is that the media has spent the last 10 years squandering their trust. They have failed to understand the value and importance of integrity, and have taken it for granted. What happened with Gamergate was a microcosm of what was happening nationally. Check out that line for independents:
![[Image: Csa4Wc9WIAArTcW.jpg:large]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Csa4Wc9WIAArTcW.jpg:large)
(H/T @OnMessageForHer)
It's been a slow and steady decline for the last 10 years. By the time 2016 came around, there was nothing the media could do. Without credibility or respect, their rhetoric has no potency. Their outrage tactics have become so predictable Trump can play them like fiddles. They're now in the middle of enemy territory with no ammunition and weak skills. There's nothing they can do but die.

RE: The Hillary Clinton thread
So Hillary has a gaggle of lackey level conspirators that helped her with this email stupidity.
What would they be thinking right now? I'm certain they would have assurances from Hillary that when she swooped into office they would be protected. But now? They would surely be wondering how long it would be until they woke up dead, whether Hillary won or not. And if Trump wins then they'll be sleeping in the closet with a baseball bat until the day they get arrested for conspiracy to (x), (y) and (z).
As the polls swing farther away from Hillary surely many of these guys are wondering whether their best bet is to defect early and turn snitch. After all, he who defects first defects best, and the rest will be left twisting in the wind.
