The latest questions arose after a thread was discovered on the website Reddit, where someone with a profile who seems to match Combetta was asking for help in dealing with emails.
The revelations had GOP lawmakers seeing red, as some like Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) were basically accusing Combetta of destroying evidence that was being sought by the Congress at time.
"The timing of the post (July 2014) coincides with when the Select Committee on Benghazi asked Secretary Clinton to turn over her emails," Meadows said on Twitter.
While Republicans were again pressing Combetta and others to tell their story to Congress, GOP lawmakers were also preparing to find another Clinton IT aide in Contempt of Congress, after Bryan Pagliano ignored a subpoena last week to appear before the House Oversight Committee.
Pagliano was again invited to appear before lawmakers on Thursday - if he does not, then Republicans made clear they are ready to find him in Contempt of Congress.
Of course, even if someone is found in Contempt of Congress, they cannot be compelled to testify.
One recent example would be that of Lois Lerner, who was a key figure in the IRS Tea Party Targeting matter - Lerner was found in contempt by the full House of Representatives, but has never broken her silence.
