The Corpus Christi Caller reported, via Free Republic:
Corpus Christi Republican Congressman Blake Farenthold considers the source behind the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committees email server an unanswered question and believes a federal investigation is warranted.
Speaking on CNN Wednesday, the fourth-term congressman refuted a widely believed conclusion that the Russian government interfered with the U.S. presidential election to aid President Donald Trumps campaign and instead indicated a conspiracy theory about a slain Democratic National Committee staffer could be true.
My fear is our constant focusing on the Russians is deflecting away for some other things that we need to be investigating, Farenthold said on the network. Theres still some question as to whether the intrusion of the DNC server was an insider job or whether or not it was the Russians.
Later Wednesday, Farenthold elaborated on his opinion of how the investigation should be handled in a phone interview with the Caller-Times. The death should be investigated in the same manner Russian interference has been reviewed, he said.

It really should be Gowdy, if only for the riveting TV. They’d have to start up a CSPAN-4 to cover all the corruption/murder prosecutions.
I used to really like Gowdy, until the Benghazi hearings, and I know that Cummings had a lot of bad to do there, he couldn’t keep his fat mouth shut and leaked everything he heard, but I don’t know if he would be the right one...
PING!!!

Thanks, HarleyLady27 & H/T Tilted Irish Kilt
I guess I can excuse his zero record of winning DOJ indictments with his grilling considering just how perfectly corrupt the DOJ/FBI have been for 8 years.
My neighbors and I were talking about this last night, the name of Ted Cruz came out...I kept my mouth shut, wanted to hear what people thought...still keeping it shut, for now...
Any Senator from a state with an R governor to appoint his successor. McCaul has been dying for a Senate seat for years.
I didn’t hear that - it could hardly be more clear that Seth Rich was Wikileak’s informer. I was without doubt when they offered the reward.
I hope the Seth Rich murder continues to be pushed. If the left can push a baseless Russian connection, then surely they can’t scream conspiracy theory regarding Rich.
I know he can’t, but I sure wish Assange would verify.
Yeah, zero evidence it was the Russians. All of the investigations have been around personal relationships and conversations between Trump’s team and Russians. There is ZERO evidence related to them hacking the DNC/Podesta/Hillary.
Assange hesitated to say it wasn’t the Russians ONLY because he doesn’t want to provide any clues as to who it was, by eliminating a source (Russians) he believes it makes it easier to narrow down to who it was - which is correct. He did end up declaring it wasn’t the Russians because he thought it needed to be said and was so broad as to not endanger the actual leaker.
about time someone is saying it! Now Trump/Sessions needs to offer immunity to Julian Assange and Eric Snowden.
I agree. Hope Trump knows that Julian Assange was key in his election, because the emails published by Wikileaks revealed the left plan to use those women to say he molested them. Otherwise it would not have been known!

Regarding the Seth Rich murder and lack of an investigation out of Congress until today.
Duh! A person was murdered, who probably was the DNC leaker. DNC/Clinton probably had him killed. Shall we all pretend this isn’t a priority for anything resembling law enforcement in DC? Is there any lawful, law in DC?
Where is the FBI when is comes to investigating democrats.
I live in Alice, Texas...45 miles from the liberal city of Corpus Christi.
The Corpus Christi Caller is a terrible liberal rag worthy than nothing more than wrapping trash in to throw away.
Corpus Christi really is an embarrassment when it comes to a city that reflects any tiny bit of conservatism or morals in general. Back in the 50’s and first part of the 60’s the “rag” was a neutral source (other than democratic support) of news without bias. Each year I get wonderful offers to subscribe to it and just like the past 40 years, I refuse to buy the liberal “rag.”
With this said, the Farenthold family is probably the most conservative and America loving family in politics there.
Want to see a city run by amateurs, visit Corpus!
Hear, hear! Good man, this Blake Farenthold from Texas.
bttt

He still voted Wrong on Obamacare when it counted, and I have told him so. That was his first term... he is better now
“The death should be investigated in the same manner Russian interference has been reviewed, he said.”
It should be investigated in a much stronger manner than the Russian interference. There is no evidence whatsoever that Russians hacked the DNC servers or that Russians hacked or influenced our election. (All based on anonymous sources quoting other anonymous sources.
But it is irrefutable that Seth Rich was murdered. Also, there are named (not anonymous) sources that place Seth Rich in the middle of the of the Wikileaks events.
If there is cause to investigate Russia, for which there is not even any evidence that a crime even took place, then there certainly is justification to investigate the murder of Seth Rich with everything we’ve got.
Hannity did good he lit the fire
This. Any investigation begun under the previous administration would get buried. It takes a willing Justice Dept. to accept and act on collected evidence, and the new administration is still getting its people in place.
