New shocking evidence helps churn the theory that late former Democratic National Committee staffer, Seth Rich, was the Wikileaks source who helped hurl the 2016 presidential election into chaos, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Jack Burkman, a GOP-connected lawyer who has been probing Rich’s death since the fall of 2016, tells Radar that Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who met Donald Trump, Jr. at Trump Tower in New York City in June of 2016 also met — around the same time — with the murdered DNC employee.
Burkman reveals to Radar, a current Democratic National Committee staffer, who contacted him with this information on July 20, 2017, told him that Rich provided Veselnitskaya with a cache of stolen DNC emails at their meeting that may have, later, comprised the July 22nd WikiLeaks document dump.
As Radar has reported, there’s a theory that the Russians meddled in the U.S. Presidential election to benefit Donald Trump.
Although refraining from sharing much information, Burkman also told Radar that he has verified the DNC staffer’s identity and position. “This is a very scared source so we had to talk them along and it took a while,” said Burkman. “We’ve confirmed the source and their identity and who they are.”
As Radar has reported, Rich, a 27-year-old DNC staffer, was murdered near his Washington D.C. home in July. Although authorities have said Rich’s shooting death was a robbery gone bad, after nearly a year with no suspects, many have questioned the investigation.

Conspiracy theorists began positing almost immediately after Rich’s death that he was the source of the stolen, WikiLeaks emails — and that his death was, somehow, connected to those emails. Burkman’s source, if reliable, would be the first confirmed connection between Rich and those emails.
Now, in speaking with Radar, Burkman said of his DNC tipster, “They claimed the Russian lawyer had met with Rich about a month before his death, four to six weeks, and Seth provided her with emails that were, apparently, leaked later on WikiLeaks.
“We don’t know what the Russian lawyer eventually took to Trump Jr. but what I have is a very credible source saying emails were given to her,” Burkman added. “Whether she gave them to Trump, Jr., I don’t know, but I can’t imagine that she wouldn’t offer.”
Seth Rich didn’t need Russian middlemen. MSM, with DNC hack Burkmen, had to weave the Russians into the plot.
Did Seth Rich speak Russian?
We already know she needs a translator.
This story needs a shave using Oacam”s Razor....too hairy to believe.
This is probably one of the reasons for the DOS attacks FR is getting. Someone has a big interest in stopping discussion of news coming out.
Before all of this is over, it will be pretty well demonstrated that the emails wikileaks put out came from INSIDE the DNC and that they had Seth Rich murdered to silence him.
This is very bad stuff folks.
So the Russians were rooting for Bernie?
I think this is run by the company who runs the National Enquirer.
FAKE -— Smoke is being blown to distract/deflect from the real Seth Rich story.
Russians, my butt!
Wonder when rats will start jumping ship?
National Enquirer. Oh yeah, the ones who exposed John Edwards and many others.
Looks like someone's trying to link this with Trump Jr. and the Trump campaign.
my guess when I heard about the attack on free republic was that this was a big news night detrimental to the democrat party. I have noticed a pattern of this site being attacked or having equipment failures corresponding to bad news about the Clintons or the democratic party.
Curiouser and curiouser
This sounds like baloney to me. As others have pointed out, the DNC dump was sent to Wikileaks. Assange said the info did not come from the Russians. Assange offered a reward for information which would bring to justice whoever shot Seth Rich, implying that Seth Rich had a connection with Wikileaks, and was likely the source of the DNC files.
This story is disinformation from the Democrats, trying to make a connection between Donald Trump, Jr., and the dump of DNC documents, and implying that this info was given to him by the Russian lawyer.
There was a post on FR with links to the arrest warrant for Awan. I downloaded the files and than sent the link to 1 person as a direct message on Twitter. I had a lot of connection problems beginning then.
And some fake 404 error messages and router poisoning. That would not be the first time for either of those to happen to me.
Paranoid? no
Weird? Yes it is. But this Seth Rich thing affects lots of once powerful people.
Veselnitskaya is not needed. Seth Rich knew how to leak the emails. He didn't need Natasha!
If the dnc is now trying to blame the Seth Rich on Trump or the Russians you know they did it.
I wonder what’s on those laptops and servers? What emails were sent when they first realized something wasn’t going as planned?
While interesting it’s false. Seth gave the xip drive to a former UK ambassador who gave it to Assage. After Seth was murdered the former UK ambassador was murdered in his hotel room. Only days later there was an attempt on Assage at the embassy
A GOP connected lawyer ? What does that mean ? He has his head up the elephants butt ? Perhaps he has his arm inside the elephants butt ? Either way it smells like Never Trumpers. And we know the Donkey was involved.
