About six months ago, a blogpost by “Publius Tacitus” appeared regarding attorney Ty Clevenger’s FOIA request regarding Seth Rich: “But now there is new information that may corroborate what the human sources quoted in the Fox article claimed about Seth’s role in getting the DNC documents to Wikileaks. Borne from a FOIA request filed in November 2017 by attorney Ty Clevenger, who requested any information regarding Seth Rich and Julian Assange. The NSA informed Clevenger in a letter dated 4 October 2018 that: Your request has been processed under the provisions of the FOIA. Fifteen documents (32 pages) responsive to your request have been reviewed by this Agency as required by the FOIA and have found to be currently and properly classified in accordance with Executive Order 13526. These documents meet the criteria for classification as set forth in Subparagraph © of Section 1.4 and remains classified TOP SECRET and SECRET.
If NSA had come back and said, “No, we do not have anything pertaining to Seth Rich,” that would have been news. It would have been especially unwelcome news for those who believe that Seth was the source on the DNC emails. But now the opposite is true. The NSA says that it has documents that are classified TS and S. What do those documents say or prove? That remains to be seen.”
At the time this appeared, I felt that it was of high significance, but I wasn’t quite sure what it meant. What is meant by “any information regarding Julian Assange and Seth Rich?” Reports generated within the NSA that mention both? Communications in which either mentions the other? Direct communications between the two? What was the actual language of Clevenger’s request?
The final sentence of the blogpost seems to muddy the waters even more: Eighth, the NSA has confirmed that it has Top Secret and Secret documents responsive to a FOIA request for information concerning contact between Seth Rich and other people including Julian Assange. “And other people”?
Although I was somewhat confused by the meaning of this revelation, I commented on its significance. At the very least, it meant that the view that Seth was the source of the Wikileaks DNC releases was more than the brainless and callous conspiracy theory that mainstream media were making it out to be.
Fortunately, Bill Binney, one of the founding fathers of the NSA, and universally acknowledged to be one of the most brilliant people who ever worked for the U.S. government, has offered clarification on this issue in a brief interview with Ed Butowsky he gave two days ago.
In this interview, he offers a devastating rebuke of the fraudulence of the Mueller report’s analysis of “Russian hacking”. But the truly fascinating part occurs at about 6:40, where Binney discusses Clevenger’s FOIA request.
Here’s what Binney says: “Ty Clevenger has FOIAed information from NSA asking for any data that involved both Seth Rich and also Julian Assange.
And they responded by saying we’ve got 15 files, 32 pages, but they’re all classified in accordance with executive order 13526 covering classification, and therefore you can’t have them. That says that NSA has records of communications between Seth Rich and Julian Assange. I mean, that’s the only business that NSA is in — copying communications between people and devices.”
If Binney is interpreting this correctly — and bear in mind that, not only is he extraordinarily bright, but he is sometimes referred to as “the father of the NSA” — this provides strong support for the hypothesis that Seth was indeed Wikileaks’ source for the DNC emails it published. Assange has strongly hinted at this, Sy Hersh claims to have a trusted informant inside the FBI who states that he has seen FBI documents verifying this, and Binney himself says that he has two sources inside the intel community vouching for this.
Go to the 8:30 mark — Binney inadvertently refers to “Seth” when he means “Sy”.) Consistent with the possibility that Seth (or some other DNC employee) leaked the documents, Binney and colleagues have recently demonstrated that the DNC documents passed through a thumbdrive prior to their publication. There would have been no obvious need for such a transfer if Russians had hacked them remotely. Beyond that, as Binney makes clear, the Mueller report’s tale of how Wikileaks received the DNC emails from GRU agents styling themselves as “Guccifer 2.0” is absurd on its face to reasonable people who will examine the pertinent evidence. Mueller’s New Indictment — Do the Feds Take Us for Idiots?!
According to Adam Carter’s G2.0 website, on June 12th, 2016, medium.com
Astute cyberanalysts such as Adam Carter, the Forensicator, and Binney himself have presented compelling evidence that, far from being a Russian hacker masquerading as Romanian, G2.0 has operated in US time zones, down-loaded some of his “hacks” via thumbdrive, purposely implanted “Russian fingerprints” in the meta-data of some of his releases, made amateur attempts to impersonate a Russian using intermittently broken English, and never himself published any documents denigratory to the Clinton campaign. The GRU, if indeed they had hacked the DNC, would have had no need for such a ridiculous figure — but G2.0 functions wonderfully as a vehicle for incriminating Russia as the source of the DNC emails published by Wikileaks, tarring Russia and Assange with the same brush. G2.0’s contact with Wikileaks shortly (too shortly!) before the Wikileaks DNC release was evidently an attempt to produce a false trail that investigators (i.e. Mueller) could point to as G2.0's hand-off of the DNC emails to Wikleaks.
And here’s another intriguing point. Crowdstrike’s co-founder Shawn Henry used to be Mueller’s deputy at the FBI, acting as head of the counterintelligence division. Adam Carter informs me that, while Henry headed that division, it made an attempt to destroy Wikileaks’ reputation by feeding it documents that had been purposely altered; fortunately, Wikileaks exercised its customary caution and refused to take the bait. G2.0 — very likely a creation of Crowdstrike — appears to have been another attempt to smear Wikileaks, one that has worked wonderfully well with much of the American public. Clinton’s incompetence was expiated, Wikileaks was smeared, and the Russia was further defamed, all in one stroke — the Deep State’s wet dream! Assange became, not a journalist working with an American whistleblower disgusted by the gross bias of the DNC against Bernie, but instead a tool of malign Russians intent on meddling in our democracy and saddling us with the ridiculous Trump. And, as to Seth Rich’s mysterious death, ask yourself this: who would have been in a perfect position to destroy the “Russian hacking” narrative that Clinton’s campaign and Crowdstrike had decided to run with?
So let’s push to get the real story out. And, if it turns out that Binney is right, we’ll need to apologize to Russia, and then decide whom to send to prison for the rest of their miserable prevaricating lives.
File this one between the 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll and the center fuel tank.
Hillary has reason to concerned that someone may start demanding all the information the FBI has on its investigation of her emails and the sale of US uranium mining rights.
When Lynch removed herself from the email investigation and said she would abide by Comey’s recommendations, she effectively appointed Comey special prosecutor. Why should Comey’s decision be treated any differently then Mueller’s ?
Significant changes
Edit
EO 13526 restated the authorized list of designees who can originate classification, in effect rescinding any previous designations made by officials or agency heads to subordinates.
A significant provision of EO 13526 is the creation of the National Declassification Center. The major focus is the idea that information should become declassified systematically as soon as practicable. Specific time limits are mentioned for different kinds of information, but there is also the provision that information that still needs to be classified can stay classified. Mechanisms are outlined for periodic reevaluation of the need to classify information, even if the result of the evaluation is to keep the information classified

Obama EO and typical doublespeak.
This just doesn't look like the guy who would leak thousands of emails to Assange. If he were, and had access to DNC files, wouldn't he have passed on more damaging information?
But Binney left the agency in 2001 and has been regarded by it as an enemy since the Bush administration, so would he have any accurate knowledge of what was going on there years after he left?
He was a Bernie bro. Was upset they fixed the nomination. Wanted it exposed. Clear motive, opportunity, and means.
He likely naively believed Hillary would bow out in favor of Bernie.
Doesn't appear to be anyone available to arrest, investigate, nor prosecute these criminals...All those with that power work for their side...
P
And Donna Brasile rushed to the hospital to talk to Seth before his demise...Why would she even be aware the incident took place??? Why would someone call her???
Actually 
😏
Hussein and Mrs bill are probably immune from being tried for anything. It would set an effective precedent for the Latin American game of incoming administrations putting their rivals and previous administrations in prison. They should be “unindicted co-conspirators,” though, at least.
Conspiracy ping!
you could both be correct about guns being stolen from fibber cars in NYC & DC.
I think I’ve read account of both happening.

Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Last year the most dangerous place was between them and a camera.
This year? crickets...
I agree... AND Mueller lists some 'Russian contacts', like Russian Ambassador Kislyak congratulating Prez Trump on winning the election, in such a way as to cast doubt on motives. Disgusting!
Oh! And Mueller identifies Mifsud as a known Russian asset; all indications are that Mifsud was working for MI6 and/or CIA. Mifsud was obviously coordinating with Steele and Halper in this operation against Carter.
They only leaked the news that benefited themselves. If there wasn’t any, they’d make it up.
Seth Rich / Mueller cover-up
You are correct. The problem is so large that it cannot be handled. The prisons are not large enough. My question is: why is Trump allowing this. Is he part of it. Why have not the Russians, Israelis, Chinese etc., etc., etc., not released the information. If a 14 year old can hack into Brennan, Clapper and other computers, organizations with billion dollar budgets have all of this info. If it was revealed that Rich was murdered to silence him, where does that go? The Deep State has trillions of dollars at its disposal. It will not go down easily.
Thanks!
