John Podesta: ‘Alt-Right’ Media Like Sean Hannity Colluding with Russia

Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chief John Podesta attacked the First Amendment rights of the free press as he continued to spin his conspiracy theory of Russia colluding with American news websites to damage Democrats.

During a conversation with the Washington Post’s Karen Tumulty, he cited the “participation and the support of the alt-right media,” naming “guys like Sean Hannity” and “disgusting” Newt Gingrich for helping spread “fake news” to hurt Democrats. He specifically criticized Hannity and Gingrich for asking questions about DNC staffer Seth Rich’s murder and whether or not it had a connection with Wikileaks.

Podesta explained that it was one more example of how the Russians were “very active in propagating and distributing fake news, working with these alt-right sites in conjunction with them.” He also cited an “echo system” created by the Russians that raised the social media profile of articles that were damaging to Democrats.

He pointed out that “legitimate sites” like the Washington Post and the New York Times suffered, as other “alt-right” websites got more traction during the election.

He wasn’t left to die. They finished him off in the hospital.

Excellent point!

Seth Rich wasn't murdered once he was killed twice! Once on the sidewalk two blocks from his home and the other at the hospital.

The hit originated by Jennifer Palmieri was discovered by Podesta who suggested she run it by hillary/huma before she order it(as someone would order a pizza for these people). Once hill/huma OKed the hit and they reportedly said; "he had to go," Podesta's mob, SEIU, was called in to do the dirty work which appears to be standard issue for him.

Rich was shot twice(they forgot to rob him) with one bullet staying in the body and the other clean in and out accd. to an email from a fourth year surgical doctor at either medstar or George Wash.hospital I'm not sure.

The email was very instructive and went a long way in telling about the second part of the hit.the second time Rich was murdered.....

Seems once the bad guys discovered that initial surgery was going to save Rich as his condition was not that bad accd. to the e mail from the surgeon and he was expected to make a recovered until.....

Several hours later when the hospital filled with police and all of a sudden big time restrictions were placed on hospital staff that were very unusual for someone in Rich's condition.

The stay away orders from Rich ultimately led to his death a few hours later and no one seems to have any details.

So we have Rich killed twice.
