Comey Denies Clinton Email 'Reddit' Cover-Up (politico.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Politico: The FBI concluded that a computer technician working on Clinton's email was not engaged in an illicit cover-up when he asked on the Reddit website for a tool that could delete a "VIP" email address throughout a large file, FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday. Republican lawmakers have suggested that the July 2014 Reddit post from a user believed to be Platte River Networks specialist Paul Combetta showed an effort to hide Clinton's emails from investigators. However, at a House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, Comey said FBI agents concluded that all the computer aide was trying to do was replace Clinton's email address so it wouldn't be revealed to the public. "Our team concluded that what he was trying to do was when they produced emails not have the actual address but have some name or placeholder instead of the actual dot-com address in the 'From:' line," Comey said. Comey said he wasn't sure whether the FBI knew about the Reddit posting when prosecutors granted Combetta immunity to get statements from him about what transpired. However, he added that such a deletion wouldn't automatically be considered an effort to destroy evidence. "Not necessarily ... It would depend what his intention was and why he wanted to do it," the FBI director said.
You're just jealous he didn't "Ask Slashdot".
Dark Reflection
I'm going to be pedantic and just point out that I doubt non programmers or non technical people will know about Stack Overflow even if they know google. Last time I checked Stack Overflow didn't have any chicken recipes.
Goes and looks just to be sure
Damn, scratch that, it does!
I'll be damned!
There are three kinds of falsehood: the first is a 'fib,' the second is a downright lie, and the third is statistics.
Probably amazed he didn't know about Stack Overflow.
He did. I believe it went something like this:
Hi, I need to remove an emil address from a big file
* We're not here to do your homework n00b
* Try using Node.js
* Closed because fuck you that's why.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
I bet the accepted answer uses a turkey instead of a chicken for some reason, and the one with the most votes rants about meat being murder.
