Computer Specialist Who Deleted Clinton Emails May Have Asked Reddit For Tips (usnews.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from U.S. News and World Report: An army of reddit users believes it has found evidence that former Hillary Clinton computer specialist Paul Combetta solicited free advice regarding Clinton's private email server from users of the popular web forum. A collaborative investigation showed a reddit user with the username stonetear requested help in relation to retaining and purging email messages after 60 days, and requested advice on how to remove a "VERY VIP" individual's email address from archived content. The requests match neatly with publicly known dates related to Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of state. Stonetear has deleted the posts, but before doing so, the pages were archived by other individuals. "ARCHIVE EVERYTHING YOU CAN!!!!" a person wrote on a popular thread on the Donald Trump-supporting subreddit r/The_Donald, as the entries disappeared. There are several reasons to believe the reddit user is indeed Combetta, who was granted immunity by the Justice Department during its investigation of Clinton's private server after he deleted a large number of emails. The evidence connecting Combetta to the account is circumstantial, but also voluminous. The inactive website combetta.com is registered to the email address stonetear@gmail.com, a search of domain registration information using the service whois.com indicates. An account for a person named Paul Combetta on the web bazaar Etsy also has the username stonetear. And, perhaps most damningly, there are the dates. Stonetear posted to reddit on July 24, 2014: "Hello 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. 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..." U.S. News and World Reports adds: "On July 23, 2014, the House Select Committee on Benghazi had reached an agreement with the State Department on the production of records, according to an FBI report released earlier this month on the bureau's probe of her email use." Stonetear submitted an additional post to reddit on Dec. 10, 2014 that reads: "Hello- I have a client who wants to push out a 60 day email retention policy for certain users. However, they also want these users to have a 'Save Folder' in their Exchange folder list where the users can drop items that they want to hang onto longer than the 60 day window. All email in any other folder in the mailbox should purge anything older than 60 days (should not apply to calendar or contact items of course). How would I go about this? Some combination of retention and managed folder policy?"

Donald Trump does not hide it, that's true. That's because he, by all appearances, is not racist.
But, if you accuse him of racism, you have ample evidence, don't you? Let's see it, shall we? Be sure, though, to include only the things Trump actually said or did — not somebody else paraphrasing and otherwise engaging in hearsay...
Spent years suggesting that a black president wasn't born in the US, despite a ton of excellent evidence to the contrary.
Said a judge of Mexican heritage wasn't fit to judge him due to his heritage.
While speaking about illegal immigrants has focused pretty exclusively on those of Mexican ethnicity, has also engaged in broad (and inaccurate) generalizations about that group.
Has proposed banning members of a religion from the US (very similar to racism).
Regularly stereotypes blacks "you've got nothing to lose", suggesting that they're one monolithic underclass.
Extreme reluctance to reject or disavow David Duke or other white supremacists, same with racist memes he happens to retweet (accidental or not).
Now I don't know if he's personally racist or now, but many of the things he says and does are quite racist.
I stole this Sig
How is that racism?
I did ask for actual quotes didn't I? And yet, you chose to paraphrase... What are you trying to slip here, uhm?
What Trump actually said, was that the judge — a Mexican racist himself ("La Raza" member) — may have a conflict of interest. If it is Ok to suspect, that an All-white jury may be unfair to a Black defendant, why is it "racist" to suspect, a Mexican may be unfair to a White one?
Not racism. Stick to the topic.
Never heard of it. Actual quotes, please.
Why is every Republican supposed to "disavow" Duke — except to play into the opponents trap of accepting some guilt (sort of like disavowing beating of one's wife)?
Would Bernie Sanders disavow Lenin? Has Hillary Clinton disavowed Al Sharpton, who, unlike Duke, actually encouraged racial violence and is responsible for at least one Jew getting killed by a Black mob? No, she not only didn't disavow the asshole, she actively sought his endorsement and attended a rally at his organization.
So far, the number of actual racist quotes is a perfect zero... Keep trying...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
I mean... he just fucking lied about Hillary making up the Birther argument right on camera. Lied. Straight lied his ass off. Not just the usual half-baked shit he throws off.

much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot - George Orwell
You don't have to dig deep to find the nuggets with this guy. If the man suggests a judge of (half) mexican descent should recuse himself from a case because of his heritage... that man might be a rednec...er racist.
I'm sure that the judge's membership in an openly racist organization, La Raza, had nothing at all to do with it. Or is it now racist to complain about racists when said racist is one of the 'protected' class?
BTW those military age Syrian men will be vetted, rest assured its still really fucking hard to get here.
Bullshit. There's no way TO vet them! There are no records to check. There isn't even a way to check that they've given their correct name, FFS!
Every single murder committed by these 'refugees' is directly the fault of those pushing to bring these 'refugees' here. Meanwhile, Coptic Christians who are suffering genocide at the hands of these same animals in Syria and elsewhere, and who DO have verifiable paper trails and Coptic priests there to vet them, are being left to be brutally murdered...men, women, and children alike.
The US is turning into everything it used to stand against. It cannot long exist.

False. The scrutiny comes from the candidate's father being a non-citizen and the murky accounts of the candidate's birth. Donald Trump has questioned Ted Cruz's eligibility too — right or wrong, the scrutiny is not racist. Fail.
Citations?
False. White judges are suspected of bias against non-White defendants all the time. Whether the suspicions are grounded or "dumb", they aren't racist. Fail.
Sorry, I do not see a stream of negative stereotypes — maybe, you should've posted actual quotes, as requested.
Unlike Hillary's endorsement by Sharpton, Duke's endorsement of Trump was completely unsolicited. If you begin rejecting all such "endorsements", you may not have time to talk about anything else — it is a strategic mistake for a politician to hand off the initiative to the opponents this way.
It was not — he was talking about diamonds being sent from South Africa to Crown Heights, for example. He was not "for Blacks", he was "anti Jews" — and stirring up rioters. You give me an example of David Duke doing anything like it...
But even if it were "BLM" — that alone is as racist as it gets. It really is mind-boggling, that the same person in the same post would attack one politician for "stereotyping" Blacks and defend another doing the same (with murderous results too)...
However you spin it, Al Sharpton is certainly no lesser racist, than David Duke. And yet, Clinton actively sought his endorsement — but you still accuse Trump of racism over unsolicited endorsement by Duke? How do you walk around with so much hypocrisy on you — does it not interfere with regular bodily functions?
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
I like how you just make up that these would have gotten a person fired and charged with felonies, while the FBI specifically states any of this would not have gotten one of their own fired, nor was anything considered a felony.
Considering we've seen tens of thousands of emails of pretty much the most mundane stuff, with the exception of them making fun of Boehner being a drunk, I'd have to say, yeah, it was probably not much of anything. But feel free to continue your fantasy.
