We’re Seth Rich’s parents. Stop politicizing our son’s murder (His Parents Write WaPo Opinion Piece)
Washington Post ^ | 05/24/2017 | By Mary Rich and Joel Rich

Posted on 05/24/2017 7:42:53 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

NOTE: The writers are the parents of Seth Rich, who was killed in the District in 2016.

Imagine living in a nightmare that you can never wake up from. Imagine having to face every single day knowing that your son was murdered. Imagine you have no answers — that no one has been brought to justice and there are few clues leading to the killer or killers. Imagine that every single day, with every phone call you hope that it’s the police, calling to tell you that there has been a break in the case.

Imagine that instead, every call that comes in is a reporter asking what you think of a series of lies or conspiracies about the death. That nightmare is what our family goes through every day.

Our beloved son Seth Rich was gunned down in the early hours of July 10, 2016, in his Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Bloomingdale. On the day he was murdered, Seth was excited about a new job he had been offered on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Seth had dedicated his life to public service, and he told us that he wanted to work on the campaign’s effort to expand voter participation because he loved our country dearly and believed deeply in the promise of democratic engagement. Seth had been walking around, calling friends, family and his girlfriend, pondering the broader picture of what the job change would mean. He wondered how he would pick up and move to New York City for four months, the strain that might put on his relationships, and how it would all affect the life he had built for himself in Washington.

The circumstances of what happened next are still unclear.

THEY THEN GO ON TO SAY IN THE PIECE:

“Law-enforcement officials told us that Seth’s murder looked like a botched robbery attempt in which the assailants — after shooting our son — panicked, immediately ran and abandoned Seth’s personal belongings. We have seen no evidence, by any person at any time, that Seth’s murder had any connection to his job at the Democratic National Committee or his life in politics. Anyone who claims to have such evidence is either concealing it from us or lying.”

The claim he was the whistle-blower, but how could they know for sure?

Meanwhile, Wikileaks is offering $20,000 as a reward for finding the killer? Why would Wikileaks care?

What evidence is there that this was a botched robbery? I know nothing was taken, so where does that conclusion come from.

This is the sort of statement that you’d typically see on the desk in front of a POW as a soldier stands by with a rifle to his head.

These people appear to be literal hostages to the Clinton mafia, being held in broad daylight.

Should read: “They claim he was not the whistle-blower...”

Panicked? What’s the evidence of that? If they had the guts to shoot him down in the middle of the night (and I assume in an empty street) why wouldn’t they rob him? Makes no sense.

And here in NYC, they often catch these types of criminals.

Flashback from August 10, 2016:

“Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. As a 27-year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington,” he told Dutch TV, referring to Seth Rich, who was gunned down in the early morning hours of July 10 while walking to his apartment in Bloomingdale.

Thanks for posting.

I wonder why they hired an investigator if they don’t want the truth known?

“and they do not want people to look into it”

They do want people who know what they are doing to look in to it.

They don’t want political windbags spouting conspiracy loon bullshit.

Two shots to the back is not a botched robbery. It is an assassination.

Free country and all that. I have no idea whether Seth Rich was a victim of Hitlery.

I do think this is an attempt to Jersey Girl anyone asking questions.

Why is the knee jerk reaction politics? Why can’t it be about just a grieving family who does not want innuendo and a clown car show of whacked out conspiracy nuts revolving around their son? Another 9/11 truther saga. Just because we are hell bent on proving a theory that has yet to reach a guilty party we have a family that wants none of it.
