In 2014, a Reddit user named stonetear, who seems to be Clinton's computer specialist Paul Combetta, asked for help on how to "strip out a VIP's (VERY VIP) email address from a bunch of archived email." The now-deleted (but still archived) post goes on, "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."

According toThe Hill, the post, which the House Oversight Committee is now reviewing, was sent just the day after "the Benghazi Committee had reached an agreement with the State Department on the production of related records."

Earlier this month, Paul Combetta, who seems to have been behind the post, was granted immunity by the Justice Department during their investigation of Clinton's email issues.

While it hasn't been confirmed that Combetta wrote the post, the chairman of the Government Operations subcommittee Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said, "If it is determined that the request to change email addresses was made by someone so closely aligned with the Secretary's IT operation as Mr. Combetta, then it will certainly prompt additional inquiry," according to the Washington Post.
