Bar manager: Cops never talked with staff about night Seth Rich was murdered

Statement backs claim from private investigator that police told to 'stand down'

A manager of the Washington, D.C., bar where Democratic National Committee worker Seth Rich was last spotted hours before he was shot and killed last summer told WND that D.C. police officers never interviewed the bar’s staff or requested any evidence from the bar, including the bar’s surveillance video from that night, as part of an investigation into Rich’s murder.

The revelation backs up a claim made by a private investigator who worked on the case who said D.C. police were told to “stand down” on the investigation.

WND also can report that the investigator recently was ordered to “cease and desist” his work on the murder case.

“The police never asked for the surveillance video from that night,” a manager of Lou’s City Bar told WND.

His name is being withheld for this story.

He said the bar’s surveillance video runs in a cycle of 30 days and that, by now, any footage that may have existed of Rich the last night he was seen alive has been taped over.

Furthermore, the manager said police never asked for any other kind of evidence from the bar such as Rich’s bar receipt from that night. The manager did note he wasn’t sure if Rich paid using a credit card or cash.

The manager also said he’s not aware of the police ever interviewing any of the bar’s staff members as part of their investigation into Rich’s murder.

“The only time that I talked to police was during the memorial for Seth,” the manager said, noting that those conversations were more casual and friendly.

He did not believe the conversations were part of official police interviews regarding Rich’s murder investigation.

“One important difference about this case is there are lots of democrats who want justice for Seth Rich. Bernie voters.”

I think the more astute Bernie voters have figured out what we have in that there is an establishment club and elections are for show.

If the Republicans were serious, every time they were on TV and Russia influencing the election was mentioned, they would say the Russians weren’t the leakers, it was Seth Rich. I am not going to hold my breath.

re: This investigator is out for himself.

What do you know about the investigator that we don’t? He is being paid to do an investigation. How is that being out for himself? I kind of thought he was out to try to help solve a murder.

MIND YOU, the DC police can be some of the worst qualified, most affirmative action, police in the nation. I kid you not. Some of the old school people on the force are still good, but there are too many jokers in that force.

For example, the gay rape and murder of a lawyer in DC went unsolved due; well, take a look....

Many of them are incompetent.

If this report accurate, it reeks like a week old homicide scene.

This is highly interesting.

As long as Seth was a solid democrat supporter then all is right with the world.

This evening, George Webb posted video report Day 210.8 in which he walks the three minute distance from the last known location of Seth Rich at Lou's Bar & Grill to Wonderland Ballroom and speaks with the bartender and some of the patrons at this establishment to see if any were familiar with Seth Rich.

Webb located and spoke with a couple of customers currently at Wonderland Ballroom who were familiar with Seth Rich. According to George Webb, these folks state Seth was at a party that night.

George dismisses this as rumor and refutes with the August 14th edition of the DailyMail states Seth Rich was at the Wonderland Ballroom.

Webb may be mistaken about the date of the UKDailyMail article he referenced in the video, as I found it in the The UKDailyMail report of August 17, 2016 which states:

"He was a little bit sadder than usual, 'said Lou's general manager Joe Capone.' 'Problems between girlfriends and by firends. It was like always wondering what the next step is [in the relationship], and what you're goin gto do next. There's always those worries, and Seth was worried about that a little bit.' 'It was rare for him to really show that he had been drinking,' said Warren. 'That was unusual for him. That was very, very unusual for him to do that.' When Warren saw Rich standing outside on the patio with some of the bar staff as he was locking up, he felt a protective instinct kick in and asked if he needed a ride home. Rich said no – he was planning to walk over to Wonderland Ballroom, a popular late-night bar, a few blocks away."

This is what Anonymous said:

Seth Rich was shot twice in the back. He sustained a “small injury” to his liver and “several small bowel injuries” — none of which was fatal. He was taken to the operating room, where his injuries were treated.

He was then moved to ICU (Intensive Care Unit) where he received blood transfusion. He was stable, his blood pressure normal. 8 hours after Rich arrived at the hospital, the place “swarmed” with law enforcement officers. Everyone, except the attending physician and a few nurses, was kicked out of the ICU.

There were no visiting hours, which is abnormal for ICU. That morning, Anonymous and the other doctors were instructed not to make rounds (visits) on “the VIP that came in last night” (Seth Rich).

When Rich died, no one other than the attending physician was allowed to see him. There was no code alert or call for a cardiopulmonary resuscitation team.

Although Anonymous was with a patient in the next room, he/she was blocked from attending to Rich.

At the time, Anonymous couldn’t understand why the patient Rich was treated that way and thought the whole thing to be “fishy”.

Later, when he found out that the patient was Seth Rich, Anonymous “was terrified”.

A thug?

Then you or another one of your family members would be rubbed out.

Rich’s family hired a private investigator who found out the police were ordered to “stand down” in the investigation. Soon they were rejecting their own PI. I saw a pic of the family. They had two sons about the same age. One dead and the other alive.

[SaraJohnson]

It’s sickening to learn all this.

[mad_as_he$$]

My general opinion of the DCPD is pretty low. In the case of a murder isn’t it SOP to trace the victim’s step backward in Time?

Did they know Seth had been at the bar? Was there a receipt on him when he got to the hospital?

[nvcdl]

Seth Rich was supposed to have been talking on his phone to his GF a few minutes before he was shot. If true it is unlikely he was tortured.

I would also take the anon DR’s report with a grain of salt - no proof it is real. Could be deliberate misdirection.

Sorry Vince er Seth, bang! :-)
