Hillary’s IT Guy Caught Asking How To Destroy Evidence
86 replies, posted
[quote]Paul Combetta, an IT specialist who helped Hillary Clinton wipe her server clean of evidence requested from federal authorities, took to online forums to find advice on how to commit the crime.
Combetta cited his Fifth Amendment rights in refusing to answer questions before a congressional committee last week, but was pretty talkative when trying to find out information from fellow IT experts on how to forge Clinton’s e-mails.

Sorry about the crappy sources as of right now. This is blowing up on Reddit.
If these type of posts aren't allowed, sincerely apologize, but there is some pretty incriminating evidence here that I saw and felt I had to share with you guys.

People surprised:
This entire election is borderline sitcom at this point.
honestly linking posts about this from /r/The_donald would be better than linking posts from /r/conspiracy

Gonna take this with a cup of salt
Dumbass.
The posts are real. They are linked to in the Reddit thread.
This stuff isn't made up. I know /r/conspiracy is a shit subreddit but it was posted there to gain traction.

I think it's time we make a remix of the presidential debates with the seinfeld bass and laugh tracks.

The mods have apparently deleted it from The_Donald and the main political subreddit.
It seems that the reason that it lasted on conspiracy is because there is damning evidence that this really is her IT as he has spoken about what his car is (which is the same manufacturer and model the IT is known to have) and signed off some posts with his actual first name in earlier posts in his account . . . . . before he deleted literally every post he made, anyway. Before he found out that people discovered it, people downloaded and screencapped his post history specifically in anticipation for him deleting them.

It took them 6 comments to reference the kill list. This is why nobody can take conspiracies seriously. They literally sabotage themselves.
All I care about this election is how it's going to possibly influence the writing of the next House of Cards season

Allegedly, one of the donald admins was told that the reddit would be taken down if it was kept up due to "doxxing", and that the new thread present there is after it was confirmed to be him as it is no longer considered a dox or something along those regards. There are several comments in the subreddit linked in the first page commenting that The_Donald had it earlier by several hours but was forced to delete it.
What use would stripping the from headers do?

I cannot fathom why this guy wouldn't use a throwaway for this. Even if he made no effort to hide his IP, it wouldn't have been found out this way.

Keep in mind one of the top mods on The_Donald has also argued with the Administrators over whether or not r/Politics was run by Hillary Shills. He says they are, the Admin says it isn't, he keeps telling people it is anyway though the Admin asked him not to.

Strip Hillary's email address and replace them with a fake address so that when you look at the emails, it doens't look like Hillary took part in any of them, but a different person.

Yes, stonetear is her IT guy, and this is him asking how to delete or re-attribute archived VIP emails.

[quote]It’s important to note the date, which was within 24 hours of a recent New York Post report that showed Combetta at that time trying to ship archived data to Clinton Executive Services Corp., or CESC, which handles logistics for Hillary and Bill Clinton.[/quote]

[QUOTE]Combetta would eventually delete the archive of Clinton emails and scrub them from the server, knowing full-well the House Committee on Benghazi had requested retention of the information.
Combetta has reportedly been given immunity by the Obama Justice Department and was not charged.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]In the days after Mrs. Clinton’s staffers called Platte River Networks in March 2015, Mr. Combetta said realized that he had not followed a December 2014 order from Mrs. Clinton’s lawyers to have the emails deleted. Mr. Combetta then used a program called BleachBit to delete the messages, the bureau said.
In Mr. Combetta’s first interview with the F.B.I. in February, he said he did not recall seeing the preservation order from the Benghazi committee, which Mrs. Clinton’s lawyer, Cheryl D. Mills, had sent to Platte River. But in his May interview, he said that at the time he made the deletions “he was aware of the existence of the preservation request and the fact that it meant he should not disturb Clinton’s email data” on the Platte River server.[/QUOTE]
It's never been a question of 'if' he deleted the emails, it's been a question of he personally broke the law. Evidence of him deleting emails isn't proof of anything if he's already admitted to FBI investigators and DoJ prosecutors that he had done so.
If you want to learn how to do something illegal or malicious, go to a library and read some books there. The only record someone could pull is that you are at the library.
Alternatively you can ask an expert in person but that leaves some loose ends.

Ignoring the fact that I don't think anyone ever [I]needs [/I]to do something "illegal or malicious" like this, why in the world would a public library have books about this kind of stuff? It's not like "email obfuscation" or whatever you want to call this is a general topic, or something you'd really go to the lengths to write a book about. If someone did I can't imagine a public library would be likely to order it.
Does your local library have copies of the Anarchist's Cookbook lying around or something?

There's tons of books on compsci and email management, written for anyone from old people to software engineers. More specifically if you know what you are doing is in fact illegal, there are tons of forensic science books that detail how explosives are made and how murders are committed, and how investigators trace the evidence. If it is a community library some official records and police investigations should be there too for public viewing. Cybersecurity would probably have less general material but if you are in IT you should be able to handle it.
I'm going off on a long tangent but this IT did a real shitty job of concealing his identity. One would think [I]the[/I] IT guy for an organization would know more about cybersecurity and privacy but I guess that's not the case.

I feel like House of Cards already goes past the point where the writing seems to go into unlikely territory, where you could never imagine real life politicians doing the shit you see on the show.
Then every week there's another Hillary or Trump gaffe or leak and we all realize House of Cards has nothing on the real thing.

If we're talking about realistic portrayals of political idiocy, VEEP takes the cake.
[QUOTE]“There is no question that former Secretary Clinton had authority to delete personal emails without agency supervision — she appropriately could have done so even if she were working on a government server,” the filing said. “Under policies issue both by the National Archives and Records Administration and the State Department, individual officers and employees are permitted and expected to exercise judgment to determine what constitutes a federal record.”[/QUOTE]
Restating, if people need proof emails were deleted this isn't it, for that you can just go read the actual FBI report that says it happened, which is way more concise and contains an admission from this dude. The real evidence people need to find is what they deleted.

General books on comp sci and email management don't cover stuff like this, and being "in IT" doesn't imply that you can pick up Python for Dummies and learn how to cover up stuff like this. This isn't some trivial task. And being in IT doesn't imply you're some cyber security whiz either, quite the contrary in fact, if you know that kind of stuff you DON'T end up doing IT.

Bill Clinton even said at one point in the show that it was pretty close to how the real deal worked. I would venture he was a consultant on the last season if I didn't know better...

The way you get away with shit like this is you understand how the underlying concepts work. Fully understand the underlying concepts, understand how the system works. Understand the system, get it to behave however you want.

I once found an internet page that had meth instructions on it. This was a few years before Breaking Bad came out, and the guy who sent me it got it from a dude in his area that had experience with the stuff. This wasn't the deepweb either.
