RIGGED SYSTEM : DOJ Granted Immunity to Computer Expert who Deleted Clinton Emails
Fox News Reports
The Department of Justice reportedly gave immunity to a computer expert who deleted Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails during its investigation into her private email server despite being ordered by Congress to keep them.
The New York Times reported Thursday that the Justice Department’s immunity deal with Paul Combetta likely means that Republican lawmakers’ calls for federal authorities to investigate his deletions will go unheard.
The top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, had asked the Justice Department to investigate whether Clinton, her lawyers or Combetta obstructed justice when the emails were deleted in March 2015.
The FBI said when Clinton’s team called Platte River Networks – the Denver-based IT company where Combetta worked – in March 2015, Combetta said he realized he didn’t follow a December 2014 directive from Clinton’s lawyers to have the emails deleted. He then used BleachBit to delete the messages in the days after the meeting with her lawyers.
The Times, citing the FBI’s notes, reported that Combetta initially told the agency in February that he didn’t recall deleting the emails, but changed his story in May.
In February, he told federal investigators he didn’t remember seeing an order from the Benghazi investigation committee, which Cheryl Mills had sent to Platte River Networks, to keep the emails.
However, in the May interview, he said at the time he deleted the emails “he was aware of the existence of the preservation request and the fact that it meant he should not disturb Clinton’s email data” on the Platte River network.
Combetta is the second person to be given immunity in the investigation into Clinton’s private email server. IT specialist Bryan Pagliano, who was a staff member on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, was given immunity in exchange for answers into how he was able to setup Clinton’s “homebrew” server that was setup at her Chappaqua, N.Y. residence around the time she started working at the State Department.
The FBI described the deletions in its notes of its investigation into Clinton’s account that was released last week. Though Combetta’s name has been redacted, law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation identified him as the person who received immunity and deleted Clinton’s emails to The New York Times.
Brian Fallon, a Clinton campaign spokesman, told The Times that the deleted emails had already been investigated by the FBI before its decision to close the case.
“As the FBI report notes, neither Hillary Clinton nor her attorneys had knowledge of the Platte River Network employee’s actions. It appears he acted on his own and against guidance given by both Clinton’s and Platte River’s attorneys to retain all data in compliance with a congressional preservation request,” Fallon told the newspaper.
The House Oversight Committee had badgered the Justice Department to investigate whether Clinton had lied to Congress about her email account testimony given last October.
Lawmakers have also asked Platte River Networks officials and Combetta to appear at a hearing before the committee on Tuesday about how the email was setup and how exactly the messages were deleted.

Peter Comey serves as “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas” for DLA Piper.
>DLA Piper is the firm that performed the independent audit of the Clinton Foundation in November during Clinton-World’s first big push to put the email scandal behind them. DLA Piper’s employees taken as a whole represent a major Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign donation bloc and Clinton Foundation donation base.
>DLA Piper ranks #5 on Hillary Clinton’s all-time career Top Contributors list, just ahead of Goldman Sachs.
The DLA Piper never had access to any Banking records, they only reviewed the voluntary information in the Foundations 990 form. The Clintons had to resubmit some 5 times to make it look believable and have the Rating Agencies improve the rating.
This is the model… the IRS never audits without a bad rating. Rating good for a tax free, the IRS has to be sent after the filer by someone in government.
That is the ongoing model, that is why the vast expansion in ‘Tax Free’ non-profits has happened. DLA Piper Global Law Firm is global for sure, but they didn’t get an Americans Canadian tax free foundation banking records to audit.
Lynch needs to be fitted for an orange suit too, right along with hillary!!!!! Under lock and key, is where they need to be!!!!!
To hell with the country, what about us? This is Amerika in the 21st and maybe the last century….
Theodore Gager…….People think you are exaggerating……they are wrong. This country has lost it’s pride. We’ve lost our confidence. We fight more than ever among ourselves over “words”. Being “PC” means more to far too many than the content of their thoughts. We’ve lost the ability to compromise. We think of each other as enemies just because we don’t agree word for word on any given subject. I’m not sure we can get things turned around. What I DO know is things can not improve with the same people doing the same things as we have in the past. Trump offers at least a glimmer of hope. Hillary offers nothing but a bunch of lies trying to convince us that “this time” things will change.
No more Hillary! Vote Trump
Our government is under the Clinton thumb.
Our government is either under the Clinton thumb or on their payroll.
The direction to delete just one email should be sufficient use to prosecute Hillery Clinton. That is not shnomethng a government is allowed to do. Every email documenting government business, however small, belongs to the library of congress, not Hillary Clinton. 30,000 + emails destroyed to hide her decisions and consequences is a crime.
Wake up Americans Put your Dumb Days behind you.. Get smart now the facts are all coming out ,Trump Is the only one who can do right for America,, Hillary will take away your identity,your morals,your health,your children(bad schools) your money, your ability to breath the freash air because SHE Is a constant Polutin and spreads separation,and good-will among people. Her idea Is keep em down ,keep em idnorant,and then she will be able to lead all,just like the Pied pipper did.
to ruin and death.
WAKE UP IS THE KEY WORD FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. CORRUPTION IS RUNNING RAMPANT AND A SMALL GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS ARE IN CONTROL AT THIS TIME. INSTEAD OF MUSLIMS BEING THE ENEMY, THEY ARE NOW CONTROLLING D.C. AND THE HEAD MUSLIM LIVES IN THE WHITE HOUSE. GO TO GOOGLE AND CHECK TO SEE HOW MANY MUSLIMS ARE ON HIS STAFF. HIS RIGHT HAND LADY IS VALERIE JERRETT AND IS A MUSLIM.
WAKE UP PLEASE AND DO THE RIGHT THING IN 2016, DON’T PUT A WOMAN BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAT HER HUSBAND DISGRACED.
yes hillary and billy bob clinton both should serve atleast 25 years in prison for treason ten sent to some foreign country tey seem to like they have taken money from like north korea or iran saudia arabria take citizen ship away and never let them back in also freeze all assests from there bank accounts and the clinton foundition which they use the money any way they want she reminds me of a horses ass every time she comes on tv .
Hillary Clinton and especially Cheryl Mills should be indicted for Obstruction as well as for mishandling classified material.
The testimony from the technician at Platt River (the company that set up and maintained Hillary’s server) shows willful intent. Per that testimony Mills gave him the order to auto-delete any email that was over 60 days old. That order in itself is illegal, a direct violation of the official records act that requires the retention of ALL official records, including all emails sent or received by Clinton on her government account. Since Hillary had her own server, that meant everything on HER server.
So the first instruction to delete was illegal; and this malfeasance was compounded by the techie deleting emails AFTER the official retention order was put in to place by a Congressional committee.
Mills knew that the first instruction was illegal, but gave it anyway. She did this as Clinton’s legal counsel. While Clinton/Mills conversations are privileged, one has to assume that Mills gave the order at the behest of Clinton. Mills should be disbarred!
It also goes to intent on hiding their gross negligence. Losing the laptop and blackberries … also smacks of gross negligence.
Wake up Congress—You are the only agency left that can do something about all this govt corruption. The Supreme Court is de neutered and loaded with Demo appointee’s who apparently have not read the US Constitution.
If all involved with this treasonous act receive immunity, how will this ever go to indictment?
THE FBI IS ON THE PAYROLL THE CLINTON MAFIA PAYED THEM. THEY GAVE LORETA LYNCH THE JAB, OR YOU MAY HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT, MY WIFE GOES FREE, OK, LORETA. OK BILL!! IT’S ALL RIGGED AND SHE WILL GET INTO THE WHITE HOUSE WITH DEAD VOTES AND RIGGED POLLS.SHE IS NOT IN GOOD HEALTH HAS BLOOD CLOTS AND BRAIN DAMAGE. I HOPE SHE STROKES OUT SOON.
I believe all of them should be thrown into Gitmo, since President Obama is releasing all Gitmo Prisoners. Gitmo is Vacant, and needs Prisoners. They have room for Traders of all Nations, even American’s.
Right Jo An! They should ALL, bith past and present, be thrown in jail! I read the other day that when Obongoloid shuts down GITMO, his plan is to give GITMO lock, stock and barrel to Cuba as a ‘friendly neighbourly gesture’.
That is a good idea ! Put them all together ; The clinton thieves , the politically correct black family : who disgraced America , george sorros , the american hater all the pundits who agree with their agenda , install a camera so the American people can watch them destroy each other .
KILLARY lock her up they are bunch of idiots vote trump
Does ANYONE think the con is over?? Do YOU trust LYNCH?? Do YOU trust HILLARY?? The only one who can do something about it is TRUMP but he has to be elected and sworn in. After that is what has Hillary and the whole Clinton team scared to death. For we know TRUMP will not just let this go because he has a score to settle with her. With Hillary calling us names because we are with TRUMP. She has NO room to talk with all the lies that keep pouring out of her mouth and she calls us names?? The people on her side has seen what she really is and are leaving her for TRUMP and now she is saying she is sorry. She is NOT sorry and IF she were to become our next President the WE the PEOPLE and that means ALL of us are going to pay. She will take our country further down the hole and bury is FURTHER in debt. There are MANY woman who could do a GREAT job as President. BUT she is NOT one of them. Hope you agree and vote TRUMP!!!
This country has become so corrupt it is not America anymore. This is nothing more than a dictatorship. Only the citizens can take this country back. This is OUR country, not the Clinton’s or Osama’s. We have to put the right person in the white house and demand justice. ‘THE PEOPLE’ have to take control back..
A dumbed down disarmed society is much easier to confuse and control than one that is well informed and well armed. Does anyone see a pattern here? Destroy our educational system. Indoctrinate instead of educate and then disarm us. With that done an illegitimate outlaw government is free to do as it pleases. Our only hope is an article V convention of states….either that or total collapse.
I am so busy shaking my head in disbelief I can not even type a response other than –
Like Mother like daughter- look at the family of cheats/fraudists that Chelsea married into
This message i found in my Bible and i thought of Hillary Clinton when i read it….Luke 12:2 says ” For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed , neither hid, that shall not be known. “
Dear Jackie Brake:
If you’re into “passages”, I’ve been saying this passage for EIGHT YEARS.
“EVIL FLOURISHES WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING”. Obama – EVIL. The Clintons – EVIL. The “bought-offs” are AFRAID OF BEING MURDERED OR LOSING THEIR JOBS. FOR GOD SAKE – EVERYBODY – PLEASE GET OUT THE VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP !!! He IS our only hope. HEY! Heard a few minutes ago on FOX that Hillary has “pneumonia” as a reason for her coughing and almost falling before getting into the limo. WOW. They’ll do ANYTHING to keep her from having to DO THE DEBATES. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I don’t believe THAT ONE for a minute. I’ve had REAL PNEUMONIA, and if that’s what they’re alluding, she’d already be completely bedridden. She’s been falling like that for 10 months!!!!! I’ll bet the NEXT thing they’ll say is “She has WALKING PNEUMONIA. Anyone wanna bet she won’t be well enough to attend the DEBATES???? Who the hell will Trump be debating – that FOOL of a Vice Presidential pick of hers – he looks like an aging, pot-bellied car salesman who’s slept in his clothes. YOU JUST WATCH – she’ll get better JUST IN TIME for Voting Day. Gawd – I think I’ll just go into my library and THROW UP.
I think it is going to take another ALL OUT REVOLUTION to rid this country of people like the clintons and their cohorts. It would be nice if hillary died from whatever decease she has NOW.
As much as she repulses me I would not want her to die. For sure as wicked as she is but would rather just pray God somehow can touch her black heart
are you kidding ? this woman has no soul , she is a spawn of Lucifer .
This is the biggest piece of bullshit I have ever read, go directely to the Supreme Court and have Hillary and her corrupt aides all locked up. Lorretta Lynch needs to be prosecuted and lose her license to practice law along with Hillary, they are both corrupt!
This is time for take back our government from Parties who don’t represent the people but have accepted politics as right.
I dosn’t matter what Clinton does, half of the country is full of dingdong’s that will vote for
for her, including turncoat elite republicans.
The corruption within the whole government,
the outside corrupt money from bad people
around the world, chances are that the electoral vote will be rigged making it almost
impossible for Trump to win the election.
A bigger catastrophe than Hillary becoming potus, is the minds that will vote for a criminal
to be their potus.
TRUMP / PENCE 2016!!
This disgusting administration gave him immunity so that the republicans could not have him prosecuted for obstruction. If they gave him immunity and don’t use him for any other purpose. This is blatant corruption. When Trump gets in office he needs to send everyone from this admin to jail/firing squad for treason.
If you’all are into “passages”, I’ve been screaming this passage for EIGHT YEARS –: “EVIL FLOURISHES WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING”. Obama – EVIL. The Clintons – EVIL. The “bought-offs” are AFRAID OF BEING MURDERED OR LOSING THEIR JOBS. THE GOOD MEN? You mean the Conservative House and Senate? They may be good, but most of them are afraid of bucking the Dictatorship, so they just take a fetal position and don’t fight. SO FOR GOD SAKE – EVERYBODY – PLEASE GET OUT THE VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP !!! He IS our only hope. HEY! Heard a few minutes ago on FOX that Hillary has “pneumonia” as a reason for her coughing and almost falling before getting into the limo. WOW. They’ll do ANYTHING to keep her from having to DO THE DEBATES. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I don’t believe THAT ONE for a minute. I’ve had REAL PNEUMONIA, and if that’s what they’re alluding, she’d already be completely bedridden. She’s been falling like that for 10 months!!!!! I’ll bet the NEXT thing they’ll say is “She has WALKING PNEUMONIA. Bull! If she had Walking Pneumonia, she wouldn’t be able to emerge from her daughter’s apartment looking temporarioy fresh as a daisy. Anyone wanna BET she won’t be well enough to attend the DEBATES???? If not, then who the hell will Trump be debating – that FOOL of a Vice Presidential pick of hers??? He looks like an aging, pot-bellied car salesman who’s slept in his clothes. AND YOU JUST WATCH – she’ll get better JUST IN TIME for Voting Day. GAWD– I think I’ll just go into my library and THROW UP.
Get rid of the bitch, VOTE TRUMP!!!
By the way, don’t forget how Cruz behaved towards Trump, he’s planning on running for President in 2020. He betrayed Trump too and ALL of us Trump voters!!
A vote for anybody but Trump, or a no-vote, is a vote against America. Donald Trump is our only hope. He loves America–Hillary Clinton wants to continue O’Muslim’s destruction of America. How anybody can even consider voting for her is unbelievable.
Lorreta Lynch and Bill Comey both need to be fired for failing to follow their Oath’s of office. Both should be considered terrorists, arrested by the Military and sent to Guantanamo with the rest of the terrorists Obama has placed in key Government positions. Obama should share a cell along with them as he is the Chief Muslim Terrorist in the USA
Isn’t this the definition of deplorable?
Maybe it’s time for an investigation for corruption in the DOJ and a few other government agencies to be conducted by an outside source, with all the news of government corruption and cover ups how can the government be trusted to investigate itself? why would we trust anyone to investigate themselves?
Hey, I don’t care if Hillary is faking sick for sympathy OR if she’s really sick. This is of no consequence to me as I’m of no consequence to her!
The DOJ and Loretta are in the Clintons pocket, paid for and accounted for. I guess maybe the Clinton Foundation monies are really used for in-country payoffs to keep people’s mouths shut OR look the other way!!
The current Fed. Gov. in Wash.DC is as crooked as any Chicago government is or ever was. If we do not get rid of all the lying thieves there and not elect more of same, the USA as we knew it will never exist again. The alien Geo. Soros, born in Budapest and still a pest but a pest with money for the demos, seems to be making the decisions. I wonder if he picked Pinocchiobama. NO qualifications, elected only because he is black. Elect a black? OK. But a KNOWN, proven one who acts like an American.
They ALL need to be investigated and charged. The U.S. is what it is today because of Obama and his administration…if they aren’t being held accountable or responsible for their actions or the things they have done, how can they expect others to?
