"Paul Combetta ASKED TO STRIP OR REPLACE VIP’s EMAIL ADDRESS"
SMOKING GUN: "BleachBit" Paul Combetta ASKED TO STRIP OR REPLACE VIP’s EMAIL ADDRESS! https://t.co/nz13MqzWth #MAGA pic.twitter.com/qQII96JI76
-- Katica (@GOPPollAnalyst) September 19, 2016
This exchange took place on Reddit and involves Paul Combetta, an employee with Platte River Networks, the company in charge of Hillary Clinton’s home server.
Combetta was granted immunity from Obama’s Department of Justice in their investigation of Clinton.
Combetta was the employee who deleted all of Hillary Clinton’s emails.
According users on Reddit, Combetta asked for assistance in July 2014 from Reddit users on how to purge emails and how to strip VIP’s email address from "a bunch of archived emails."
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.

It's like has been said, she could shoot someone in broad daylight in front of 20,000 of the people at one of her rally if she could muster that many, with the smoking gun in her hand and she'd walk. Then she would say she didn't do it and blame the Pubs and they would do nothing about it. The fix was in at the Phoenix airport. Nothing will come out of this DOJ. The cork is at the top of the bottle neck.
[Daily Caller] The computer technician who worked on Hillary Clinton's email server appears to have asked for advice on how to "strip out" a "VIP's" email address during a crucial period in the Clinton email timeline.
The advice was sought in a July 24, 2014 entry on the website Reddit from a user with the handle "stonetear." The Daily Caller has confirmed that Paul Combetta, the Platte River Networks technician who worked on Clinton's server, uses an email address with the same handle.

Internet sleuths have discovered what the FBI somehow missed: Combetta's username on Reddit was “Stonetear” and he was very curious about how to delete a VIP’s e-mail address about two years ago -- around the time the House Benghazi Committee was requesting Clinton's emails from the State Department. He told fellow Redditers that it involved the private email address of someone they would all recognize. His post indicates that the Clinton team was ordering an obstruction of justice effort to take place.
BLUF: [Breitbart] State Department FOIA division chief Karen Finnegan then wrote to Walter, saying, "Sheryl: To follow-up on my early response, Cristina is handling the Judicial Watch case, CA No. 2013-772 (DDC) (J. Kollar-Kotelly), that seeks access to all communications (including e-mail) between the Department and President Clinton and/or his foundation regarding clearing his speeches [Redacted]."
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said, "These new emails suggest that the Obama State Department knew about the Clinton email problem at least three years but covered it up. Any criminal investigation of the Clinton email scandal must include officials in the Obama administration." They all bloody well knew and they're still covering it up.
I keep waiting for the indictments of the ones at the bottom, but apparently a classic investigation that rolls up from the bottom with lots of plea-bargains for incriminating testimony just isn't going to happen.

Wouldn't it have been grand to have been there, at that ah shi* moment, whe Comey's men reported.... 'boss, it goes all the way up to the Oval Office.'

The Obama administration was not concerned enough to do anything about it though.

Perhaps 'early-on' Blumenthal actually found something in Kenya or elsewhere. The Clinton's would have had him (Obama) by the nads. Now that he's a few months from the door, he can joke about it with reckless abandon.
[WASHINGTONPOST] BROWNSVILLE, Tex. -- Until the day she was tossed in the slammer I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! , 53-year-old Vicenta Verino spent years canvassing poor, elderly and mostly Latino neighborhoods, harvesting mail-in ballots for candidates who paid her to bring in votes.
Her crime: unlawful assistance of a voter, an offense that would not have been prevented by the state’s voter ID law.
Texas officials claim that the law is needed to prevent fraud, but only 15 cases have been prosecuted by the Texas attorney general’s office between the 2012 primary election and July of this year, according to a News21 review of more than 360 allegations the office received in that time.
Eleven of those 15 are cases are similar to Verino’s, in which "politiqueras" -- people hired by local candidates in predominantly Latino communities -- collect and mail ballots for mostly elderly local voters. Texas election laws restrict who can have assistance while voting by mail and require a signature on the ballot from the person who assisted the voter.
"We used to work street by street seeing people, talking about the candidates, and those times, it kind of used to help the people," Verino said, now two years after her arrest for voter fraud.
Texas’s contested law, passed in 2011, requires voters to present one of seven approved forms of government-issued ID at the polls. In July, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled the law violates parts of the Voting Rights Act. For the November election, people without ID will be allowed to vote if they sign a sworn statement. A front man for the Texas attorney general said "this case is not over" and the agency is considering an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Texans have not been required, however, to show identification when voting by mail. The only exception is if a voter registers to vote for the first time by mail and does not provide a photo ID number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Then, local election officials can ask the voter to send a copy of an ID with their mail-in ballot.

Without digging much deeper, I would have to say "it's working".
[NPR.ORG] Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... says that out of the hundreds of thousands of donors to the Clinton Foundation over the past 18 years, there must have been some people who gave to the foundation to gain influence with him and his wife. "All that money! Shut off! Is there any solution? Is there any meaning to the word 'is'?"
But the former president told NPR that doesn't mean any donors received anything improperly.
"It was natural for people who've been our political allies and personal friends to call and ask for things. And I trusted the State Department wouldn't do anything they shouldn't do," Clinton told Steve Inskeep in an interview broadcast Monday on Morning Edition.
Clinton is kicking off the final gathering of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, where heads of state, humanitarians, scientists and other accomplished or influential individuals come together to formulate solutions to global problems.

Even as his wife was the Secretary of State.
Where is the (alleged) "opposition" party when it comes to such matters?
Oh, that's right. They raised eyebrows for all of 5 minutes, and then turned their efforts back to re-election.

"Formulating solutions" alright.... but the solutions have absolutely nothing to do with the bloody weather or climate.

Yeah JohnQC...It's really more about the influence you can wield than the actual $ at this point for them. Money=Power and unless the Beast is POTUS, their influence is lessened. That's why they really don't give a rat's ass about leaving the money laundering "charity" as long as she gets elected.
[Politico] A federal judge lashed out at the State Department Monday over what he charged was foot-dragging over Freedom of Information Act requests relating to Hillary Clinton's service as secretary of state.
"You have a client that to say the least, is not impressing the judges on this court, myself included...It is in your client’s interest to start being more obviously cooperative," U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon warned Justice Department lawyers representing State during a brief hearing Monday." The State Department is at risk of being perceived as obstreperous. [They] need to get with the program."
The 10-minute hearing around noontime Monday took place on a suit for records on how -- and if -- Clinton and her aides were trained to handle classified information. State had proposed a deadline of October 17 to produce about 450 unclassified documents relating to the training issue sought by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
However, Leon ordered the diplomatic agency to complete processing and disclosure of those records by October 10. He also said State must produce the records in three installments "of comparable size" and can't leave the bulk of the records to the last batch.

And not a damn thing will be done about it. Our (alleged) opposition party cares more about re-election than rolling up their sleeves and going to work.
H/T Instapundit
On Tuesday, Politico reported that former President George H.W. Bush would vote for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. The Bush family has shunned Trump since the primaries and drawn close to the Clintons since George H.W. Bush’s exit from office in 1992. Still, the news was somewhat shocking, given both the Bush family’s continued prominence in Republican politics ‐ George P. Bush is currently Texas land commissioner and has his eye on higher office.
But the H.W. Bush apparent decision, reported by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, should come as no surprise. The Bush family isn’t put off so much by Trump’s policy proposals ‐ except for immigration and free trade, the Bush family likely agrees with much of Trump’s left-leaning policy. They’re mostly put off by Trump’s attitude ‐ his boorishness, his ignorance, his general sense of know-nothingism. To be fair, Trump clubbed Jeb! like a baby seal and the Bush family specifically during the debates; that had to draw some ire from the family. But for George H.W. Bush, the deciding factor was likely attitudinal: Trump just doesn’t belong. The Clintons, by dint of two decades in the White House spotlight, do.
This is one of the objections to Trump that many Trump supporters have a right to be angry about. It’s one thing to object to Trump based on policy differences and a general belief that he toxifies the conservative message. It’s another thing to do it because he doesn’t belong in the toney company of the blue bloods. The Bush Family feels like American royalty, and they appear to see Trump as a nouveau riche blowhard. That feels elitist rather than principled. Nobody was surprised that the person who reported H.W. Bush’s voting choice was a Kennedy. That’s how the Bushes roll.

Reminder to self: When George P. Bush and Chelsea Clinton run for higher office try to find some nice country where they have cannibalized all politicians and they have re-elected a dog as a leader for at least 3 terms.
[REUTERS] Democrat Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Richelieu ... on Monday accused Republican rival Donald Trump of helping Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... Lions of Islam recruit more fighters as kabooms in New York and New Jersey made national security a top concern on the U.S. presidential campaign trail.
Trump, meanwhile, said Clinton's "weakness" while Democratic President Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... 's secretary of state had emboldened bully boyz worldwide to attack the United States.
Both candidates tried to use the attacks to flex their national security credentials, with world leaders gathering in security-heightened New York for the annual United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... General Assembly.
Clinton said Trump's rhetoric against what he calls "radical Islamic terrorism" is helping Islamic State, also known by the acronym ISIS.
"We know that a lot of the rhetoric we've heard from Donald Trump has been seized on by terrorists, in particular ISIS, because they are looking to make this into a war against Islam rather than a war against jihadists," she told news hounds in White Plains, New York.
The Trump campaign responded by saying Clinton bears some responsibility for the violence by not persuading Obama to leave a residual force of U.S. troops in Iraq when she was his secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.
Obama and the Iraqi government failed to reach agreement at the end of 2011 on extending a U.S.-Iraqi status of forces agreement, and most American troops were withdrawn.
Trump has sought to tie Clinton to the decisions of the B.O. regime.
"Hillary Clinton's weakness while she was secretary of state has emboldened bully boyz all over the world to attack the U.S., even on our own soil. They are hoping and praying that Hillary Clinton becomes president so that they can continue their savagery and murder," Trump said on Facebook. He did not give specifics.

It *is* a war against Islam. Just closing our eyes and pretending it isn't so doesn't magically make that a winning strategy.

Contrary to Clinton's arrogant azz words, the terrorists don't hang on her every tweet or care that Trump called a bomb a bomb. The bad guys are prolific writers and clearly state that they spend their time trying to scare us out of Afghanistan and the M.E. in order to consolidate their gains and later focus on attacking the near non-believer enemy in Europe (Rome). They know she is a fool.
Especially when you held the door open for the f*ckers.
[MASHABLE] Americans will not cower following the terrorist attacks in Minnesota, New York and New Jersey, Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... said Monday.
Biden, speaking at the Social Good Summit in New York, said he was impressed by first responders' intrepidness following the attacks, and that Americans will remain strong in the face of terror.
During the course of the weekend, there were multiple attacks across America.
In Minnesota, nine people were maimed when a man who had links to Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) went on a stabbing spree at a mall. In New York, a pressure cooker bomb filled with shrapnel went kaboom! in the neighborhood of Chelsea on Saturday night and another bomb was found a few blocks away, but removed before it went kaboom!. In New Jersey, there was a bombing on Saturday night at Seaside Park and an kaboom Sunday night after the discovery of five devices in a backpack.
The weekend terror spree was capped off Monday afternoon with a shoot out in Linden, New Jersey and the capture of Ahmad Rahami. He is now a suspect in the New York and New Jersey bombings.

I'm sure he'll continue to be "impressed" as his party's operatives won't prevent such future attacks and do what it takes to adequately defend this country.
And nobody from the (alleged) "opposition" party will call him out on it either.
Frenchman: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person! I blow my nose at you, so-called Ah-thoor Keeng, you and all your silly English K-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-niggits! [makes taunting gestures at them]
Sir Galahad: What a strange person.
King Arthur: Now, look here, my good man--
Frenchman: I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
Sir Galahad: Is there someone else up there we can talk to?
Frenchman: No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

We never bend, cower or yield? What does that even mean? Does it mean we'll stoically accept each new atrocity? Does it mean we'll vote for Hillary so she can keep the same failed policies in place? While she continues to import terrorism? We're supposed to bravely accept the bombings, stabbings, shootings and rapes and not expect our leaders to do anything about it? WTF, Biden? What are you even talking about?
