My understanding is this thing does tend to happen a lot in Washington, kind of out of the blue.

Or paid off, or both. And the Washington ComPost is complicit.

Is that why they called off their own private investigator, and why they’re demanding a halt to reporting on it or investigating it? Because they really DO want it investigated? Hmm.

They don’t want political windbags spouting conspiracy loon bullshit.
..........................................................
They are going to have to put up with it until the true story comes out. At this moment, I should think they would want every stone turned over to find the culprit.

Correct me if I am wrong but aren’t the parents saying

“Please do not distract people from the story about the Russians conspiring with Trump.”

It seems they are more concerned about helping the Democratic party DE-legitimizing the last election than finding out who actually murdered their son.

My guess is that they are so dedicated to Liberal politics that if presented with absolute proof that their son was murdered because of his sharing information with Wikileaks they would conceal the fact. Their logic would be we can not do anything to bring back our son but we can help the “Resistance”

>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?

That possibility flew the coop when a high-level career DNC PR flack became their “spokesman”.

Are you paying any attention at all to what’s going on here? How is the “under duress” nature of the family’s behavior not as completely obvious to you as it is to every other observer?

There is as much evidence to support a botched robbery as there is to support a botched gun cleaning attempt or botched target practice attempt. Perhaps the shooter was lining up on a squirrel and Seth stepped in the way.

Remember Mary Jo Kopechne’s parents protected Ted Kennedy. We all need to know if Seth leaked the emails.

Seth had dedicated his life to public service,

...

Working for a political party or corrupt politician isn’t public service. Look at the obscene wealth of the Clintons, the Pelosis, Maxine Waters, the Obamas, and the like.

So lets do some probability analysis here?

How many DNC staffers were there during the primary campaign season?

How many were murdered on the streets of DC (or died later in the hospital, whatever..).

How many leaked secrets to Wikileaks that year?

What are the odds of the guy who leaked the secrets getting murdered?

So, yeah, it could all be a coincidence—and I could win the Powerball tomorrow, too.

I’m a little puzzled by Seth’s parent’s actions.

One would think that Richs’ parents would want every avenue investigated in the search for Seth killer(s).

Very strange to not want a full and thorough investigation.

Somewhere there is a murder walking free, if it happened to my son, I would leave no stone unturned to catch the killer.

Yet, here we are with Seth’s parents ... simply putting their heads in the sand and not wanting to even explore a plausible angle. I personally find this bizarre....

Well then the burden of proof is on those who think he was murdered by DNC operatives.

Could also be a tactic by someone on the right to distract from the Russia nonsense.

What the heck, the left always plays rough.

Never know.

Lefties pay for their allegiance to the cause with their own son's blood...sad, very sad.

People in the USSR would routinely turn-in their parents, children and spouses. All for the greater glory of the Workers Revolution.

Sounds like some of the other grieving family members after they heard condolences from the clintons.

If my son died mysteriously and I wanted answers I’d welcome as many people on the case as possible, even if I didn’t agree with their hypotheses. It’s called diversity. Don’t Democrats embrace diversity?

All who believe they wrote this piece without edit raise your hand !

How dare you suggest that a DNC, Podesta appointed attorney wrote this! *faints*

What's that joke about if it walks like a duck?

#29: "It’s a free country, the parents do not have the right to silence the search for truth as hard as it is for them."

Exactly so. Legally the crime of murder rises to a crime against all society. It does not matter what the Rich family's "feelings" are. It is not about their "feelings". It is not their personal purview. The most grievous wrong has been committed against society at large and all avenues toward justice must be pursued and investigated.

Imagine, if you will, an investigation of a murder, where the investigators don’t interview the last persons to see the victim alive and don’t seek surveillance tapes from the many locations with cameras on the street where the murder occurred.

Imagine...

Was there a press release from the hospital? If so, who was the spokesman?
.
What sequence of events elevated the patient, Seth Rich, to "VIP" status during his short stay in the hospital?

We already have solid evidence of deliberate obstruction of the investigation. The way this thing is smoking, there is almost certainly an inferno underneath.

Oh, I agree, and all the hubbub is most certainly stonewalling. We need a deep throat or a semen stained blue dress.
