This seems like enough to demonstrate intent (the big thing they couldn't prove previously) is there any reason this isn't enough evidence to open a case by the justice department?
Yes, Obama endorsed HRC.

It isn't court of law incriminating, but it's more than enough for the court of public opinion.

I doubt it; its reinforcing for the people that are already inclined to the belief and so need no additional evidence, and not likely to be particularly interesting to most of the rest of the public (who, in any case, has pretty much tuned out the whole issue by now.)

#23At 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.
I don't want to speculate on who's account this is, and perhaps I'm missing something, but tokenizing the to/from addresses sounds like exactly the sort of thing you'd want to do before publicly releasing a lot of emails.
Replacing VIP@example.com with ##VIP1## allows you to release the messages without revealing the email addresses of every person they've ever interacted with.

#25There'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. 1. https://www.reddit.com/r/exchangeserver/comments/53ick9/remo...

Which is probably all that matters here. I can't imagine Clinton ever seeing serious legal punishment for this stuff regardless of proof, and Mr. Combetta has been granted immunity, but this stuff will definitely affect the election.

#28Exactly why I thought HN might find this story interesting, the 'we did it reddit!' factor is funny in light of the many times they've gotten things horribly wrong -- the Boston marathon bombing comes to mind.
Kind of wish it hadn't been flagged and disappeared from the front page so quickly.

This isn't incriminating at all. There's no mention of changing the content/body, only removing her address from the to/from fields. That's a sensible thing to do if she doesn't want her private email address to be public knowledge, and the presence of her address in the to/from field can be inferred since, you know, it's her inbox.
I feel like Hillary could hire someone to take her dog for a walk and millions of people would find it corrupt and scandalous for some reason.

This seems to have taken place in July 2014, which is many months before the emails went missing (Mar. 2015). Even taking into account that he was apparently instructed to delete the email in Dec. 2014 (and forgot to), it still leaves a large amount of time between these two incidents.
