I finally figured out what's been bugging me all day about this, besides just the obvious obstruction that they were engaged in, - that it was reddit and not the FBI that figured it out.
Comey needs to pack it in if this is all substantiated.
Presumably Combetta’s immunity agreement protects him from charges related to any element of the email investigation, not just the BleachBit wipe, which means he can’t be prosecuted under 18 U.S.C. 1519. But what if he was instructed to strip out the VIP’s email address by someone else, possibly including the VIP herself? They could be prosecuted, no?

This is why I love ATS!!
I am about the least computer literate person you will ever meet, so I was wondering if someone could answer a couple of questions for me.
First, do you have to give personal information to get a Reddit account, ie is there a trail of proof the people have a reddit that definitely proves its Combetta? (Right now it seems as if it is him, but the info I am mentioning would 100% prove it).
No, and you can always fake personal info. I do it all the time. But there may still be things like IP address logs that point back to either his workplace or home (unless he used a vpn, proxy, etc)
Secondly, would it be possible to put a sort of retroactive time stap on that site? In other words, could someone have say this week posted as Stonetear on reddit but used some sort of program to make it look like it happened in 2014?
not without access to the reddit database and the ability to modify/edit fields within the database. Even then you would have to fake all the responses to the OP as well, which would affect all responders as well. (HEY I DIDNT POST THIS!)
If all of this proves top be true, it shows.
1. Combetta was intentionally violating the law.
2. He is claiming on these posts he is being instructed to do so which means someone higher up like Hillary ordered him to do it.
3. The FBI is either incompetent or corrupt in that they couldn't find this information.
If this is proven, charges should immediately be brought on Hillary, and Comey and others working on this investigation should be fired and investigated for their role in a cover up.
Ill be making popcorn for the rest of the day.

A coverup is evidence of a guilty conscience and can be used to prove intent.
Would the DOJ/FBI reopen the investigation? I don't know. I suppose if Congress refers it back to the FBI, it could be reopened.

But, there's nothing that would keep them from flipping on her to save themselves.
Also, what about the missing emails? Those probably could shed more light onto exactly who was involved in this. How convenient.

The only problem is Hillary can easily pass the buck to one of her VIP minions and act innocent of having any knowledge of any such instruction! Her dedicated minions will soak that up as another faithful is tossed under the bus!
Edit add: just seen the JackKatMan beat me to that supposition.

When you're a programmer and don't know how to do something, what do you do? Read a book? No, you ask on the internet and get an answer in like 20 minutes. Professional IT guys do this all the time.
Not the programmers working for Hillary, and especially the ones trying cover up for her.... lulz.
Do you ask strangers on line how to evade your delinquent taxes ?
Then you're a dummy too. Or making stuff up.
