Combetta is just trying to hide email addresses from spammers. How is that "bad faith"?

"Bad faith" is trying to expose personal email addresses to spammers.

The House Republicans would love it if they could publicize her private personal email address. It would render it useless.

The IT guy's job here is to make sure that doesn't happen.

I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not.

I can't agree with your view of a possible motive. She owns the domain - she can change her email address at any time to a new one.

It is the job of the FBI to redact the information before it is released. It is ILLEGAL for the IT guy to change any of it when you are given a court order to turn over everything unmodified. But apparently he keeps accidentally bumping the delete key.

Its is the job of the FBI to redact information they choose to (or are required to) release in accordance with any legal, operational, etc., concerns applicable to the FBI.

OTOH, its quite possible that the Clinton camp anticipated that they might have reason to directly release some or all of the emails to entities other than the FBI.
