As much as I hate HRC, I really don't think the email issue is ever going to lead to anything. Not for her at least. Some poor IT guy may get it in the end, but it's painfully obvious the same rules do not apply to elected officials as they do to the rest of us.

It's on US News And World Report: http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-09-19/paul-combetta...

Seems like a decent summary...

At first I thought this was a total hoax, but the account has been deleted and the incriminating posts are over 2 years old. Here is a pastebin I found of online information linking all his profiles together: http://pastebin.com/NmXcUC1X

This is pretty incriminating.

Maybe I'm completely ignorant of the situation, but it just sounds like he was trying to keep some email addresses private, in anticipation of some kind of potential release. Is that bad?

There's now a post in /r/exchangeserver that's making fun of this old post[1], but is there a link to the original (or has the post been deleted?).

I'm still rather skeptical of things I read on /r/conspiracy.

Yes it's pretty clear that the content of the email is not to be adjusted, just the To/From fields.

This seems to be legitimate work before an anticipate public release of email.

I believe it, but can't he just claim coincidence on the Reddit handle?

Censoring email addresses on a copy of the PST sounds a bit more like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redaction

"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."
