CLAIM: Hillary’s Bleachbit Guy, Paul Combetta, Asked Reddit Users How to Clean a Server

If true, this is woefully damning. I just have a hard time grasping the fact that they’d be so fucking stupid.

Here is the post.

poof

He also asked about pushing back the 60 day retention window.

Redditors went to work and started to trace the user of that account to a Mr. Paul Combetta.

Here is his Etsy account with matching user.

paul

Here is a trove of information tying him to that Reddit user name.

Here is the exchange.

stonetear: Remove or replace to/from address on archived emails?

Hello all- I may be facing a very interesting situation where I need to strip out a VIP’s (VERY VIP) email address from a bunch of archived email that I have both in a live Exchange mailbox, as well as a PST file. 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. I am not sure if something like this is possible with PowerShell, or exporting all of the emails to MSG and doing find/replaces with a batch processing program of some sort. Does anyone have experience with something like this, and/or suggestions on how this might be accomplished?


borismkv: There is no supported way to do what you’re asking. You can only delete emails after they’re stored in the database. You can’t change them. If there was a feature in Exchange that allowed this, it could result in major legal issues. There may be ways to hack a solution, but I am not aware of any. permalinkembedsavegive gold

stonetear:

As a PST file or exported MSG files, this could be done though, yes? The issue is that these emails involve the private email address of someone you’d recognize, and we’re trying to replace it with a placeholder address as to not expose it.


exproject: To my knowledge, there’s no way to edit existing messages, that’s a possibility for a discovery nightmare. To strip/rename on outbound/inbound you could rewrite it with a transport rule.

stonetear:

That wouldn’t work on existing messages though right?


odoprasm: Is there no way to access and edb manually?

stonetear:

I have full access to the server – what are you suggesting with the EDB file?


stonetear:

I think maybe I wasn’t clear enough in the original post. I have these emails available in a PST file. Can I rewrite them in the PST? I could also export to MSG and do some sort of batch find/replace. Anyone know of tools that might help with this?

exproject: Just because you have the messages available in multiple formats and locations doesn’t change that it’s an attribute of the envelope not meant to be rewritten. The functionality is just not built into any tool I know of. Having that functionality would create the ability to screw with discovery (I mean, there could be mitigation with versioning, but that would need other configuration) While it may not be a read-only part of the envelope(I’m not actually sure), the only tool that MIGHT be able to do what you want is MFCMapi, and I don’t think you want to play with that for this job. The chance of getting it wrong would be pretty high I think and it is not a particularly friendly tool. I’m not sure it could be scripted with it either. My recommendation would be what/u/borismkv said. Making a mailbox for VIP and telling them to use that. Forwarding to VIPs mailbox would be ripe for them to just respond directly instead of responding through his relay mailbox. As for your existing messages, if the current users absolutely cannot see the existing messages, you’ll need to do a search and export and just forcibly remove the messages from their mailboxes. It’s not clean and not advised by me, but if they don’t want VIPs address out there it will need to be removed. I would do a search with his email address as the query with -LogOnly -LogLevel Full and see what kind of results you get.

It appears the Reddit account was deleted. It was a two year old very active account. Don’t worry, the internet keeps archives.

      Why don’t you take your fukin head out of the sand stupid? This is a VERY relevant story that goes to the HEART of whether this lady is completely full of shit or not – and we are voting to allow her to become the most powerful leader on earth.

      It’s not a ‘conspiracy theory’ when you have the fucking post in front of your fucking face.

      Unfortunately what M. Savage calls the ‘government-media complex’ will continue to cover for her and ignore every fuckin thing she does while shouting ‘Trump this and Trump that’ every fuckin day till the election.

      Fuk you you fukin fuck. Arrrrgh.

          As someone who will be voting for Hillary in Nov., I’ll admit this is a fucking shitshow.
          She lied, Paul is an idiot apparently, and the whole thing reeks.
          I still trust her with our economy, nuclear codes, and social issues far more than Trump who incessantly lies and obfuscates everything he says or does. They both lie. They both stink. I’m not happy about it.

    Clinton is certainly sleazy around the edges. But how can anyone say Trump isn’t a full bag of bullshit. The birther nonsense was a full con aimed at racists. You really think he didn’t know Obama was born in America? Nothing wrong with hating HRC but don’t say Trump is Mother Theresa. As usual Americans are slitting their own throats with the candidates they nominated. Just pathetic.

    To all you brainwashed fools.

    The president doesn’t run any economy.

    Trump is not anymore anti gay, or racist than any normal American. This talking point is old and tired like our government’s policy of nation building and destabilizing poor countries around the globe.

    Do you understand ?

    Do you also understand , the “real” bad guys ; multinational corps, banks, kingdoms in Arabia (who murder gays) , political elites , big Pharma and other bad organizations all support HRC?

    Do you not know this or simply don’t care because you are willfully ignorant?

      That’s the beauty of the all controlling two-party system. 50% of the people will be on board, or at least looking the other way, as long as their “team” is the one in action. Look how blind Republicans were to Bush at the time. Look how FEMINISTS are cool with Bill Clinton! Gays will still support Hillary as she oozes gay-hating Saudi Blood money, because she’s the leader of their political team…

    Lastly ,

    A bag or shit will never hurt.

    Getting thrown off a building cuz you’re gay will kill you and others

    So will bombs , bullets, being blackmailed for shit you got paid for, and snitching on the DNC. These will all kill.

    Thanks.

    I don’t care about Trump talking shit about McCain. Him talking that about McCain has nothing to do with “liking the military “. As a matter of fact, I like the military so much that I’m tired of them used as pawns and dying for no reason. McCain was a jerk off, mr. Bomb bomb Iran. Let him do it, hopefully he won’t get shot down.

    Trump is an ego maniac, and is an arrogant ass hole.
    Is he bought and paid for? No way. He would have had an easier time if he was. Does he love his kids and grand kids. Yes! I know the oldest son from 1999.

    Is he a patriot ? yes.
    Has his story on the core issues changed? No. He has been rather consistent. America makes terrible trade deals- ,We are selling out the american worker- our politicians are the worst- all true.

    HRC- bought and paid for? Yes indeed
    Arrogant two faced asshole? Yes. Again I know first hand.
    Ego maniac? Absolutely
    Does she love her kid? Never seemed like it.
    Patriot ? Highly doubt it.
    Did she sell access ? Yes she did and does. To some of the worst and evil places. Besides the normal multinationals, large banks , big pharma and so on.

    Has she been consistent? Yes and no.

    No, when it comes to gay marriage, gays and African Americans. Building a wall at the boarder and controlling illegal immigration.

    Yes, when it comes invading countries, nation building and destabilizing parts of the world, killing scores people. Lying , cheating and other shit is just noise.

    Need I go on?

    They both suck. Trump appeals to a lot of dirtbags (and they make the TV), and so does Hillary. The “Real Donald Trump” would actually probably make a good president. The character he has played, who knows. Our current, and past foreign policy has been an absolute disaster, that obviously won’t change much under Hillary. Not sure Trump really understands the world very much, Imo….. Very weird times out there, the division is getting deep. Too many people listening with their mouths.

      Hilary appeals to the worst kind of dirt bags. The sort that uses coercion and violence.

      Not the sort of type to lend a hand to a person who is injured and needs help. They would be the last to pull a person out of a burning car to save a life.

      Think about that.

        Hillary has done more for human rights and women’s rights than Trump will ever know.
        While I understand the right’s talking points, they’re just hypocritical and ignorant.
        What is it that Trump has done that’s so great? Oh right, say “you’re fired” on a tv show.
        Yes, he’s the patriot we’ve all waited for.

    You think, large banks, multinationals, big pharma , Arabian kingdoms, are the good guys? This is clearly no hyperbole sister.

    Women’s rights? The fuck? She laughs about getting rapists off ( you don’t know about this?) , shut down the woman that claimed Bill raped them, and collects Money from places where women are second class citizens. I’m not talking illegally discrimInated , I’m talking as a point of law.

    Not to mention its legal to kill gay people according to their law.

    Is that hyperbole ? Am I telling you something you don’t know?

    Of course you know this already. You are one of the 30% who would have voted the nazis in to power. You are down with killing people who are different in mind and body. You are clearly homo phobic , and speak out your ass with respect for women.

      Per usual, people voting for Trump list all the reasons why HRC should not be president, rather than ANY qualifications that would make Trump an effective or good president.

      If you think HRC is the institutional govt continued, you have yet to see how a know-nothing runs this country based on how butt-hurt he is because the media called him out on his endless list of lies and self serving shenanigans.

      I hope you realize that Trump’s publicity stunt of a campaign is simply a showcase of his hotels and golf courses on tv for free. The guy is a clown.

      Yeah HRC takes money from the Saudis, you act like this is a new horrible development for America, when in fact the Saudis have been allies of the US for decades now. It’s a tenuous relationship to ensure the stability of global trade and development. Yeah it sucks, but w/o Saudi Arabia’s support, things would have been much much worse.
      But I assume you already knew that, after all, you’re Chick Bennett, whatever that means.

      It’s our duty as Americans, at a minimum, to talk these things through, to find the best people to serve as our leaders, and to go vote to elect those leaders. These are the basic things we have to do as adults to keep things functioning. Honest political debate is a big part of that. If you don’t think who holds power matters, you aren’t considering the future carefully enough.
