I retraced the steps the FBI took to investigate "carterheavyindustries@gmail.com"—the email address that mysteriously appeared in the metadata of all but 4 of the 30,490 emails Clinton lawyers provided to Congress.

A big thanks to @walkafyre, who created an archive of all Midyear Exam documents. Without this archive, digging up the relevant 302s would have been a pain. You can find a link to the Google drive with the files in @walkafyre's profile.

I started with a lot of questions and ended up with even more. 1. Who were Combetta's clients?

2. Was Shandong Carter Heavy Industry one of them?

3. Who else had access to the Gmail account?

4. Why did Combetta login in 2015 and 2016?

5. Did the sync to the "carterheavyindustries@gmail.com" have anything to do with the Stonetear incident? 6. Did the sync enable Combetta to strip out "VERY VIP" email addresses from the "to" and "from" fields? 7. How DID Combetta come up with the name for the account?

8. If all is fine and dandy, why did Combetta refuse to speak to the ICIG, the DOJ IG and the Senate? 9. Why didn't the FBI ask many of these questions? 10. Why did the FBI wait for a month to get a search warrant for the Gmail?

11. If Combetta never gave the archive he made via "carterheavyindustries@gmail.com" to Samuelson and Mills, how did they end up giving the emails from the archive to Congress?

12. Did the FBI find "carterheavyindustries@gmail.com" or any other email address in the metadata of the thousands of other emails the bureau recovered during the investigation? 13. Why is the metadata in most of the Clinton-emails released to the public concealed?
