Chaffetz got reps from the FBI, NSA, CIA all to attend his hearing under the false pretense that it was an "executive session"...closed to the public so that everyone could speak freely about classified material and information.
When they showed up it was ambush...cameras rolling..and Chaffetz beating the hell out of the FBI rep.
Do you have proof of your opinion?
I can clearly see by the C Span recordings that your statement
lacks credibility.

So you asserted that there was an executive session that
was scheduled, that witnesses and members of the committe
were all set to appear at an executive hearing, but then
suddenly this was changed to a public hearing, but
you have zero proof of this accusation?
Because what your stating is sheer nonsense.
Democrats also faulted Chaffetz for convening the hearing in public Monday, when the witnesses were initially told they were being summoned to a closed, classified session.
After more than two hours of public back-and-forth Monday evening, the committee adjourned after 8 p.m. with plans to gather in a secure space in the House Visitor Center for a closed session.
However, a committee source said late Monday that the much-discussed closed session was never convened, reportedly because the room had not been properly swept for the classified exchange.
A spokeswoman for the oversight panel did not immediately respond to a request for comment on what transpired with the planned closed session.
the obstacle to Chaffetz seeing classified records related to the probe is not the FBI but with the House Intelligence Committee not releasing that information to the oversight panel chairman.
Maloney noted that Chaffetz has asked House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes (R) for access to the classified records, but no vote on that request has been taken or scheduled.

Ok...I need to ask about this...
COULD this whole 'strip out an email address and replace it with a placeholder email address' have ANY connection to this:
"The Republican National Committee thinks it has the smoking gun that proves Hillary Clinton used “multiple secret email addresses” as secretary of state. It doesn’t.
The RNC made its claim in a May 18 blog post hours after the New York Times published copies of emails that Clinton had sent and received when she was secretary. The emails displayed two accounts: [email protected] and [email protected]. That seemed to clearly contradict Clinton’s claim that she used only [email protected] while in office, which was from January 2009 to February 2013.
But the Clinton campaign says there is a simple explanation for this apparent discrepancy: The emails published by the Times were printed out in 2014 after Clinton had left the State Department and after she had changed her email address, so the printed copies of emails she sent while in office display her new address ([email protected]), even though they were originally sent under her old address ([email protected]). We agree that this is possible.
The Clinton explanation passed two tests — including one conducted for us by Ray Tomlinson, the man who is widely credited with inventing email.
Tomlinson ran an optical character recognition on the PDF of the emails that the Times posted to its website, and what he found is consistent with the Clinton campaign’s explanation for what happened.
We at FactCheck.org also tested Clinton’s explanation. Our IT staff created [email protected] and renamed it [email protected]. An email sent by [email protected] printed out as if it had come from [email protected] after we changed the name of the email account.
Tom Conte, a professor at the Schools of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology and president of the IEEE Computer Society, said Clinton’s explanation is “technically possible” and that our test “proves it.”

I am curious, because it seems that emails once appearing to be sent to/from one address, suddenly showed a different address after they were printed in 2014. Could Combetta have actually succeeded in replacing '[email protected]' with '[email protected],' and it was all explained away as Factcheck describes?
I don't recall this story, at the time. Anyone else care to help me understand what it was all about and if it could be related? It has the feel of being related to an email-address 'find & replace.' Doesn't it? And if it is related...the Clinton campaign offered an excuse that was NOT truthful.

A new thought:
Combetta/Stonetear was obviously a W.O.W....everquest gamer.
In both games a 'Mau' is a Wizard/Warlock/Sorcerer.
Rather than a 'misspelling' of Hillary's pantsuits...could [email protected] be a special address Combetta set up for himself?

Interesting - certainly a strange email address...

Edit:
As far as I know...no Hillary email has been leaked under mau_suit.

This makes as much sense as any idea yet regarding that email address.

It's always stood out from the many others originally discovered as listed.
Edit:
The mau_suit still obviously stands for 'Super User IT'...which would be the IT's exclusive access.
The roles of Cooper and Pagliano will be phased out in mid-2013, with the Platte River Networks company winning a contact to manage Clinton’s server on May 31, 2013.
