This who situation has been badly misrepresented. Did none of you bother to check the original Reddit post to see what it said?
It said:
"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,” stonetear wrote. “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. I am not sure if something like this is possible with PowerShell, or exporting all of the emails to MSG and doing find/replaces with a batch processing program of some sort. Does anyone have experience with something like this, and/or suggestions on how this might be accomplished?”

Any of you that work with email know that what he's talking about is removing the email address from metadata. Why would you do so? Primarily because you don't want the public to get their hands on the email address.
Clinton's email address was already known at that time. She was no longer using it, the Committee knew it, and it wasn't relevant to the FOIA request (email metadata is typically not included in FOIA requests).
This was _not_ about deleting emails. We don't even really know if this was about Clinton, or if the writer is Combetta.
I thought/. used to be full of geeks? What happened?
