A longtime GOP operative is asking Congress to investigate whether or not Russia is behind the murder of a young Democratic National Committee staffer.
Seth Rich, 27, was fatally shot in the back while walking home alone in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of D.C. in the early hours of July 10 last year. At the time of his death, he was working as a data analyst for the DNC.
Eight months on, there are no leads and no suspects in the homicide investigation. DC police have said nothing was stolen from Rich and that the murder was a botched robbery.
Now, GOP lobbyist and DC lawyer Jack Burkman has formally appealed to Congress to investigate following new evidence he says he's obtained that Russia may be behind Rich's murder.
While Burkman is reluctant to elaborate, he revealed he was recently contacted about the investigation by a man claiming to be a former U.S. intelligence officer. The source is an older man, 65-70 years old, who claims to have been a contractor in Iraq in the 1970s, he revealed.
'The source has claimed that it [the murder] was arranged by the Russian government at a very high level,' Burkman said.
'He didn't specify who or how. He just said he had knowledge it was arranged by the Russian government and stressed that it was at a high level.'
He added: 'I've met this person and he seems very credible. We're now investigating the allegations he has made.'
Burkman believes the source will cooperate with the investigation. He is wary about revealing too much and has hired a private security firm to protect his family.

First time I’d ever heard DNC reference risks to staff.
looks like the dims will look a gift horse in the mouth and try to expand this into election fraud. (with hearings)
More BULL CRAP from “anonymous sources”. If anything, Seth Richards was murdered by an operative of the Clinton and/or Obama crime families.
meh
More unnamed sources who claim to have seen the Roswell aliens, have proof that we didn’t go to the moon, that 9-11 was an inside job , and that Russians did it
I can hardly wait
wow - those Russians are everywhere!
Whoa, there’s a twist.
So. It seems they are going with the idea that Seth Rich was murdered by the Russians when he discovered they were hacking DNC for the benefit of??? Trump.
Is this a Evan McMuffin/John McCain op?
HM and I think Rich was on the way to see FBI or drop a thumb drive and the Russians got him.
Is this evidence of Trump involvement in undermining Hillary campaign?
“In July 2016, Burkman helped fundraising for Free the Delegates, an anti-Trump effort to change the delegate rules for the 2016 Republican National Convention.”
I hear the Russians preferred Moonlight over La La Land... :)
They should find out who killed John Wheeler while they’re at it.
Jack Burkman is a GOPe lobbyist who turned into a Never Trump guy when the Donald declined his offer to host a fundraiser attended mostly by lobbyists and corporate donors.
Several attempt hacks all the time.
What would be the reason for Russia to kill him?
More likely Obama, Hillary or the DNC ordered the hit.
HILLARY had Seth Rich MURDERED, NOT the Russians as the DEMONRATS claim!
Check up on Donald Young’s cold case in Chicago while you’re at it...
The RATS are trying to frame DJT with it but when Seth’s girlfriend testifies, HRC operating fake precincts in the primaries so she could dump Bernie’s votes and have hers triple-counted is what will destroy the DNC forever.
