moment when the Platte River Networks employee, Paul Combetta, deleted Hillary&#8217;s emails despite later admitting to the FBI that he &#8220;<strong>was aware of the existence of the preservation request and the fact that it meant he should not disturb Clinton&#8217;s e-mail data on the PRN server<\/strong>&#8221; (if not, see &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-09-02\/fbi-report-shows-how-bleachbit-deleted-hillary-clintons-oh-shit-moment\">The &#8220;Oh Shit&#8221; Moment: Hillary Wiped Her Server With BleachBit Despite Subpoena<\/a>&#8220;).\u00a0 Once Combetta was summoned to testify in front of Congress, we also learned that the FBI had granted Combetta an immunity deal (see &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-09-09\/oh-shit-guy-wiped-hillarys-server-bleachbit-has-immunity\">The &#8220;Oh Shit&#8221;
