“If the person you met with truly said what he did, is their [sic] a reason you we aren’t reporting it ?” At 3:48 p.m. that afternoon, Ms. Rattner responded as follows: “because— it was a family meeting—- I would have to get his permission– will ask his new lawyer, my sister-in-law.”

Wow! What a coincidence...his new lawyer, my sister-in-law.

I remember her as a shrew who would never look at the person she was actually speaking to. It’s been years since I’ve seen her, probably when Hillary was running in 2008, but that’s the one thing that always bothered me about Ratner when she was on.

“Ms. Rattner’s brother, the late Michael Rattner, was an attorney who had represented Mr. Assange.”

Yeah; I figured her brother had been mixed up in this the minute I saw her name on the post. That family ...

"If it was a random 'robbery gone wrong' why would the police take his laptop? "

They've always tried to push this off as a random robbery, because other robberies had taken place in that area previously. Nothing was taken from Rich, and he was shot in the back. Questions I have never seen an answer to: Did any of those other robberies result in the victims being injured or murdered? Did they lose all their possessions, or did they fight off their attackers, and keep their possessions?

It reads like an 8th grade book report. Whether or not it was filed I have no clue!

Here is the ABC News interview with Seths' family.

Watch the brother closely.

It looks like he's trying not to laugh.

He looks off camera. Is someone telling him to cut it out?

Also, the father said Seth was on the phone when he was shot. When asked about the commotion, Seth said he was 'at home'.

Why did Seth lie about being home? Why didn't he just say he was walking down the street?

“Fox News news analyst Ellen Ratner relayed information from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to Texas businessman Ed Butowsky regarding Seth Rich’s role in transferring emails to Wikileaks, according to an amended lawsuit that I filed this morning on behalf of Mr. Butowsky.”

note the “I”?

this is a blog, people. a bogus, bullshit blog ... zero credibility ...

I strongly suspected he was the source.

Witness protection? It would explain a lot.

“He was alive when he was brought to the hospital, but was dead minutes later after they closed the exam room door!”

Plus, IIRC, the name of the doctor who was called in to “take care of” Seth Rich at the hospital was noted often on the White House visitors’ log.

There were emergency room personnel in the hospital room with Rich who had ties to the DNC. He was alive when he arrived and dead within minutes.

I am very familiar with the Ratner family from Cleveland, OH. They are the controlling stock holders of Forest City Enterprises(a fortune 500 company). They own commercial real estate all over our country. Ms. Ratner is one of their children. She literally was born with the silver spoon. They were a parent company of my company for years.

Reading through the legal document know, and it seems to give an answer to the post above:

On
information and belief, Mr. Butowksy alleges that Joel, Mary, and Aaron Rich were told
that Aaron could be charged with felony computer crimes if they did not cooperate with
their new handlers, i.e., Mr. Bauman and the lawyer Defendants.

Thanks for the info. She’s a rabid Democrat, and enough of a slug to have stuck her nose into the Seth Rich case. With all the tentacles of the Ratner family, who knows, maybe her family had ties to his family. Or, she met with Assange on request of the Clinton campaign. Assange allegedly asked her to pass on the info about Seth Rich to his family, and instead of contacting them directly, she gets Ed Butowsky to do her dirty work. I can believe she’d do that to keep her involvement a secret. You always get someone else to do your dirty work for you. And later, she could deny she ever told him to contact the Rich family. I wonder what her response will be in regards to Butowsky’s allegations.

If you believe this legal document, the brother was under extortion/blackmail...

On
information and belief, Mr. Butowksy alleges that Joel, Mary, and Aaron Rich were told
that Aaron could be charged with felony computer crimes if they did not cooperate with
their new handlers, i.e., Mr. Bauman and the lawyer Defendants.

Is Ellen related to...Steven Rattner?

[New Mexico’s gov] Richardson has one other direct tie to the investment scandal: Steven Rattner, the former head of Obama’s auto-bailout program, gave $5,000 to Richardson’s 2002 gubernatorial campaign and $15,000 to Richardson’s 2006 re-election bid.
Richardson heads the State Investment Council (SIC) which, in 2005, voted to invest $20 million with Quadrangle Group LLC. At the time of the 2002 and 2006 campaign contributions, Rattner was a managing principal in the company, which he left in February of this year to take the auto-bailout job.
Rattner recently left that post and is reportedly negotiating a settlement with the New York attorney general in order to avoid criminal charges in that state....——The New Mexico Independent

Well no big deal he has a brother, just first I’ve heard that he was also involved in the leak.

Mr. Rich said he was reluctant to go public with Seth’s and Aaron’s role in leaking the emails because “we don’t want anyone to think our sons were responsible for getting Trump elected.”

No, Mr. Rich. We understand why you didn't, and it had nothing to do with Trump being elected.

Now, the family's reluctance to bring out the truth makes more sense than ever. They already lost one son, and don't want to lose another. Aaron would be in real danger.
