Link Between Russia and 2016 Election May Be Seth Rich Murder, Republican Lobbyist Tells
Newsweek ^ | 08/08/2017 | Alexander Nazaryan

Posted on 08/09/2017 7:19:08 PM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

But now a Republican lawyer and lobbyist wants Mueller to add another matter to his docket: the 2016 murder of Seth Rich, a 27-year-old employee of the Democratic National Committee....“We’ve ruled out that this a street crime," says Jack Burkman, the Republican operative who is urging Mueller to use his newly impaneled grand jury to investigate the Rich murder. In his letter to the special counsel, which was sent on Tuesday, Burkman argues that Rich’s murder “may be the ‘missing link’ that connects otherwise incongruent events relating to Russia collusion in the 2016 presidential election.” Burkman says in the letter that he is “willing to testify under oath” and “will share what we know” about the Rich murder.

“Just a few days before his appointment at the Russian Embassy to review documents
He was reportedly investigating Hillary’s involvement in the purchase of Russian drug company Veropharm by Abbot Labs at a time in 2014 when sanctions against Russia would have prevented the sale. The purchase was accomplished by a US shell company named Kew Garden Hills, LLC (registered in Delaware –and- Hillary Clinton’s home State of New York) acquiring approximately 98% of Veropharm shares—and then their being bought by Abbott Laboratories. Hillary has ties to both Abbot Labs and Kew Garden Hills LLC. “

I’m gonna guess Mueller expands his probe by asking DOJ for an expansion. Call me jaded, but I tend to believe Mueller is only interested in anything detrimental to Trump.

Seth Rich was the leak from the DNC to Wikileaks. RussiaRussiaRussia is the cover-up of his murder.

Burkman's preposterous story combines Rich leaking the emails PLUS the Russians.

How can one testify in court giving evidence of "idea" in the actions of a dead person? It is a binary circumstance that he either did or did not transfer content either in whole or in part of DNC emails to another party. That is the only answer that to the question which can be proven as a zero or a one, a yes or a no.

Comey-ish circle logic "soap opera in Washington" style legal statements are just that. Soap opera nonsense delivered as "lawtainment".

If Mueller takes over the Seth Rich murder investigation, the purpose will be to keep it out of the hands of the Trump Justice Department and to permanently bury it.

IMHO, You are absolutely right that Mueller (and his Leftist hired staff) is only interested in things that can be used to destroy or weaken Trump and his agenda.

The various matters brought up in this thread that need investigation should not be referred to Mueller but, instead, AG Sessions should name a new Special Counsel THAT WOULD REPORT DIRECTLY TO SESSIONS to handle these matters.

Let Mueller investigate IMAGINARY “SMOKE” while Sessions’ new Special Counsel would investigate these ACTUAL FIRE criminal matters.

Good article, but Dems will say that the $4M over 12 years were paid to several people, and therefore the amount paid to each was normal. However, I seriously doubt they were doing the jobs they were supposedly hired for, or even showing up for work.

I’d like Mueller to investigate the case of my missing underwear.

Mueller is the last person I would want investigating this.

Yes, we should have Jeff and Rosy on this. It has nothing to do with the Trump campaign.

Pulitzer prize winning reporter Seymour Hirsch, who has reported on huge stories in his career, including My Lai, Bin Laden, Syria, JFK, stated that it was Seth Rich who leaked the DNC emails.

Interesting, and one wonders why the WSJ has not made a major, major journalistic investigation of this as a series of lead editorials.

I thought it was already established that Seth leaked the emails...

That’s what I believe, that somehow Rich got the emails to wikileaks. This character Burkman embellishes the story to make Rich discover Russian hacking and give the emails to Natalia Veselnitskaya. That part of his story sounds crazy.
