Hillary Clinton's former campaign chairman John Podesta whacked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for claiming murdered Democratic staffer Seth Rich was 'assassinated' after giving emails to Wikileaks.
'It's pretty disgusting to see a former speaker of the House traffic in this at this point,' Podesta said Tuesday morning, 'But I've come to expect that with Mr. Gingrich,' Podesta added.
Tumulty brought up Rich's unsolved murder – the Democratic National Committee staffer was gunned down in D.C. last July – as conspiracy theories are once again swirling, thanks in part to Gingrich's comments and Sean Hannity's insistence that something doesn't smell right.
Hacker Kim Dotcom, tweeted that Rich was the DNC leak.
'I knew Seth Rich. I know he was the Wikileaks source. I was involved,' Dotcom cryptically tweeted on Saturday. He's since said he would be releasing more information.
On Sunday, Gingrich dragged the Rich conspiracy theories into the mainstream.
'We have this very strange story here of this young man who worked for the DNC who was apparently assassinated at four in the morning having given Wikileaks something like 23,000 – I’m sorry, 53,000 – emails and 17,000 attachments,' Gingrich said.
'Nobody’s investigating that, and what does that tell you about what was going on, because it turns out it wasn’t the Russians, it was this young guy who, I suspect, who was disgusted by the corruption of the Democratic National Committee,' the former House speaker continued.
'He’s been killed, and apparently nothing serious has been done to investigate his murder. So, I’d like to see how [former FBI director Robert] Mueller is going to define what his assignment is, and if it’s only narrowly Trump, the country will not learn what it needs to learn about foreign involvement in American politics,' Gingrich added.

I thought Newt had simply suggested the possibility should be investigated.
On one side is the Speaker.
On the other:
Podesta is a serial murderer and serial rapist of children.
Podesta even looks disgusting.
John Podesta must be desperate.
I imagine a detective like Columbo would follow up on his remarks. But I don’t know if the DOJ any longer investigates
anything...
John Podesta calling someone else disgusting. Now that’s rich
John Podesta calling someone else disgusting. Now that’s rich
Well what does Podesta call someone in a high end neighborhood, who was shot in the back at 4:30 a.m. and was not robbed?
Yep. Looks like we’re over the target!
Yesterday(?), George Webb alluded to being told Dr. Oewyn had connections to Heather Podesta and Heather’s many ties to the DC Police.
John Pudesta, remember, “It’s not the facts on hand, it’s the graveness of the charge.”
If this is true when it comes to Trump and the Russians, it should be true when it comes to Seth Rich, YOU, and the DNC.
Podesta, huh?
Why would this sex pervert want to weigh in on the Seth Rich murder? It’s not like he was involved with it, right?
Right??
Methinks this pud protests too much. He’s given himself away.
It could be anyone... why did John Podesta feel the need to speak up on this?
But Russian collusion witch hunts, with no factual basis are good?
Pure bias, Daily Mail.
Maybe not as rich as a traditional spirit cooked meal.

Police made no attempts to see if Seth Rich was followed.
He had on a gold chain worth $2 Grand.
His Watch, Chain, Cash, and Phone were left.
And why are the D.C. Police reporting to Donna Brazile in this case?
This is like the Dems when they were indignant about John Edwards having a second wife, in effect. And when it was widely known Bill Clinton had several long term girlfriends.

You notice that while they are interested in looking at Trump with a microscope for Russian connections, they are entirely uninterested in looking at people who really are in bed with the Russians. Like Podesta.
Just apply dem logic. Even without evidence we need to answer these questions with an special prosecutor to look into all this. For the good of the nation we need to make sure high level officials weren’t involved in the murder of Seth Rich.
This is so good even delicious. Democrats want to choke any investigation but they go on national news telling everyone that Rich was assassinated.
Trump is getting stronger, and stronger and stronger.
You think we don't see that's not a denial. Jump back in Hillary's lap and stop your yapping.
