Bombshell dropped on Seth Rich murder mystery
WND ^ | 08/02/2017 | Alicia Powe

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh appears to have dropped a bombshell in audio released Tuesday – pointing out that the DNC emails obtained by WikiLeaks stopped pouring in after the mysterious murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich in 2016.

In the audio, Hersh also claims an FBI report described to him by an insider confirms that Rich, the DNC voter-expansion data director, had taken some emails to WikiLeaks and requested payment for a full trove of DNC emails during the presidential campaign.

In fact, the latest DNC email released by WikiLeaks was dated May 18, 2016 – just weeks before Rich was shot twice in the back with a handgun.

“There are no DNC or Podesta emails that exist beyond May 21 or 22, last email from either one of those groups. What the report says is that some time in late spring … he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that’s in his computer,” Hersh says in audio almost certainly recorded by financier Ed Butowsky, who hired private investigator Rod Wheeler to investigate the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich last July.

Hersh continued: “Anyway, they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents — of emails, of juicy emails, from the DNC.”

"the DNC invented a story alleging Russian “hacking,” with help from CIA Director John Brennan, as a cover story."

In before the ‘bombshell’ guy shows up.

Odd how none of these ‘bombshells’, against the lying left, ever seem to go off. :(

I think everyone is terrified of the implications.

“...Also, DNC spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa released a statement Tuesday blasting the Trump administration.

“If these allegations are true, it is beyond vile that the White House – and possibly even Trump himself – would use the murder of a young man to distract the public’s attention from their chaotic administration and Trump’s ties to Russia,” Hinojosa said on behalf of the DNC.

“The Rich family has begged those responsible for these conspiracies to stop. And yet, Trump’s allies have ignored their pain and their pleas, degrading the office of the president by spreading repulsive lies.

“This should outrage any decent human being. There is no excuse for the suffering that Trump’s associates and their conspirators at Fox have caused the Rich family and those closest to him. Both parties should denounce these sick and twisted tactics.”...”

That’s a lotta smoke. Must be quite the fire.

Oh, gee....Wimberly worried!!!

Then we truly have become a Banana Republic.

Heck, even Maduro had opponents. They’ve been jailed, now...kidnapped in their jammies in the dead of night, but at least they had the guts to go up against him.

The Republican Congress??? Nothing but a bunch of cowards who send a veto-proof piece of cr@p sanctions bill that claims to prevent the exact crimes THEY themselves are guilty of.

Isn’t that rich?

It’s because the only law enforcement of any kind in D.C. is Mueller and the only targets have a last name starting with a “T”.

There will be no justice in America that involves prosecutions of high-level democrats or their cronies.

Probably.
Simply because it means not insignificant portions of the government are wholly corrupt, ready to sweep high crimes under the table for their “connected friends”...

Seymour Hersh lost his credibility with me a decade plus ago when he did the “US used poison gas in Cambodia” series of articles in the 1990s. This was different set articles than his 1968 about the US using non-lethal CS or tear gas in Vietnam.

I guess everyone is afraid that the Democrats will get mad if they get prosecuted.

Obama could have boned a goat every SOTU address and the MSM scrolling screen shots would read: “President Obama Again Evidences Love For Animals”.

Do you really think the media will implicate itself by running these stories?

Why do all these “Bombshells” seem to be duds?

That’s why the headline doesn’t include the word ‘BOOM’.

Agree!!

1984 is really 2017.

If it turns out that Rich was assassinated because he was a problem for the Clinton’s, it will lend a lot of credence to all the other Clinton murder stories and the PTB would probably prefer all of that to remain in the conspiracy theory category. This is America after all. That kind of thing can’t happen here.

All good points. But in this case Assange/Wikileaks confirmed Hersh’s report by linking to it. Assange is very careful about what he links. When it comes to Seth Rich, he uses Wikileaks links to affirm/verify information.
