Lawsuit Alleges Fox News Fabricated Quotes in Seth Rich Story

“Rod Wheeler. He’s a media person.”

He’s a Black, former Washington DC PD “detective,” who masquerades as a “fox news contributor,” but you can never figure out what he’s saying.

[Sam Gamgee]

So to understand all this:

1) Wheeler was the source of the information that said Seth Rich was behind leaking DNC emails. We have no other source to corroborate this?

2) Wheeler, who is PI, is now saying this is not true. Even though he previously said it was true on Fox News.

[Sam Gamgee]

So he lied, and this is FNC fault why? How did they “force” him?

[Cboldt]

To be honest, I don't know exactly what Wheeler reported. Whatever it was, he is not the source, he is just the reporter.

There are other sources. Kim Dotcom has suggested he knows something., Assange has said the DNC leak did not come from Russia. I will guess there are others "in the know" about how the DNC emails found their way to Wikileaks, but so far they aren't talking.

My gut feeling on Wheeler's civil suit is that he's a nutcase, looking for fame and a payday any way he can get it.

[Sam Gamgee]

Makes me wonder why not launch law suits against Wikileaks? Ultimately it is the source that is solely contradicting the Russia narrative. If Trump is lying, then Wikileaks told one massive lie to Hannity when they said it was NOT a state actor.

I think he’s claiming that fox lied and he didn’t make the quotes about the DNC or wikileaks. - Hope fox can prove otherwise.

[Sam Gamgee]

Oh, he wasn’t actually on air...they just quote him off air? Well, that then is more problematic for Fox News.

[Cats1]

If he was on-air I don’t see how Fox could lose. —Seems like the Dems are making some headway in attacking us recently, just want our side to do a little a— kicking back.
