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

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.

America ended up with the Clintons and Obama because so many people have abandoned God and prayer. The left wing media and radical press attack all conservatives, but mostly Christians and family values. There is not one television show remaining that is Christian or family safe. ABC just cancelled Tim Allen's successful show, "The Last Man Standing" and ironically none are left. The country ends up with what we deserve from our own bad choices.

President Trump was a reprieve from a freedom killing Hillary president. America began to pray and turn, but it may be the Lord had enough of Obama attacking Israel new Hillary would continue this corse. If you want justice and truth to take down the corrupt Clinton/Podesta/DNC machine it will only come from prayer and repentance and seeking God's help and intervention. If you want the left wing media machine to crumble than stop taking selfies, stop supporting abortion, stand up for the family and Christian values, turn off the TV, stop buying from companies that support attacks on our Christian heritage. Most importantly pray to God if you want justice and to see the Clintons and all the DNC killing machine go to jail.

Their Progressive allegiance exceeds their interest in finding their son’s killer.

Pathetic people!

You cease and desist request is denied.

They don’t want any questions. But they sure want your money.

That’s a very fair point, and it’s the only explanation that I can come up with for the statements they have been making. It’s not that they don’t want to know the truth nor that they don’t want someone caught, just that if they feel this was not a hit but just street violence, they don’t want to have to endure the endless antics of a media that can be awfully intrusive and insensitive.

However, this is not a private even. When people are charged with murder the charges are brought by the state or a presiding legal jurisdiction because the people have the right to have crimes punished, regardless of how the victim or family feel about it. It is different than a civil or private affair.

Even the killer (or assassin) cannot be found and charged, the people at least have the right to know if Seth Rich was involved in the leaking or transmission of DNC information. The Rich family do not have the right to suppress the pursuit of truth in this matter.

Can’t wait to see what comes out of Judicial Watch’s FOIA requests surrounding the Seth Rich murder case.

Tom Fitton knows what to ask, when to ask it and where to get it from.

His announcement yesterday that JW are pursuing this carries a lot of weight for me.

He was shot in the back in cold blood. This points to a DNC operative.

Imho, the family is exhibiting strange behaviour. Could be grief, but I don’t know the family.

If it was me, I would welcome everyone investigating. I would also offer a reward. Odd that the family nor the DNC have offered any reward money.

And for the family to believe it was a “botched robbery “ attempt is ridiculous.

Something ain’t right here.

The only reason this case hasn’t been broken is lack of political will, not lack of manpower or resources. The investigating body, probably DC Police, was told to stand down. By whom? Obama, Loretta Lynch, Comey . The Clintons have always been suspiciously close to mysterious deaths—Vince Foster, Ron Brown, now Seth Rich. It’s time someone began connecting the dots.

Well I’m rooting for ya but since I haven’t followed up enough to make an informed decision, I must wait and see how it plays out.

Should be interesting.

Since John P. joined the WP, how many stories have been written citing John P. as the author?

.
WP is Jeff Bezos’ blog and nothing more.

Obama was not a Muslim. He was a Universalist Unitarian as was his church run by Jeremiah Wright. Look it up if you do not know what Universalist Unitarian is.

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

Who killed Jack Kennedy?
Bush league investigation.

Probably true. But probably all things to some degree we read and hear have been edited or had some feedback on what to change to some degree.

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

It sure looks that way.
