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

Posted on 05/24/2017 7:42:53 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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.

I find it odd that this family would hire a PI to find the truth and then not really want to find the truth.

Seth risked his life to do what he did. Shame on them.

The entire case is being handled by the DNC.

That statement was edited by the DNC.

DC Police are reporting, in this case, to Donna Brazile.

Name one other case where networks don’t report on a Murder case because the Parents are uncomfortable?

They are still running JonBenet TV shows 20 years later!

Could Natalie Holloway tell CNN and ABC to not report on her daughter or show her picture?

We have special, one-time, rules here and the reason why is obvious.

Don’t Turn Over that Rock!

"...We have seen no evidence, by any person at any time, that Seth’s murder had any connection to his job at the Democratic National Committee or his life in politics. Anyone who claims to have such evidence is either concealing it from us or lying.”

They're ignoring a third possibility:
That there IS evidence, but that revealing it could endanger the sources ... who are concerned about having the same thing happen to them, as happened to Seth.

If it were my son, I would want to know EVERYTHING, regardless of the outcome, and would not rest until those responsible were either dead or in prison fore the rest of their life.

These people are acting contrary to that..................

I remember how during the Fraud’s reign, every few months, Big Media would publish, “X% of Americans still erroneously believe Obama is a muslim”.

FU Big Media, and the fraudulent god you rode in on!

If they actually believe what they are saying they need to get over his death. We have a country to save.

They're in the bag for the DNC. Until I see evidence that they are frightened, I'll stick with my theory that like the Lewinskys and the Stevens family, they're zombies for progressivism.

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?

(1) Julian Assange's claims are not a whacked out conspiracy theory (covered in this thread).

(2) The parents have been dragged into something they don't understand. They didn't do the leak--they probably did not know their son did it either. So they are victims here--but victims without any knowledge.

(3) We are not using them--the DNC and their co-conspirators are.

Sorry. He is a figure of public concern, the public has a right to know what happened here, and If you were sincere about not politizing the issue - which I am sure you are not - you wouldn’t be making cracks about conservative media. My guess is you are as political as that pro-Sharia Muslim working for Hillary, who attacked Trump at the Democrap Convention. Maybe if you hadn’t raised him to be a Democrap, he would still be alive today.

They’ve definitely been threatened, and not just the immediate family.

Pull on the thread marked “Seth Rich” and the whole Deep State unravels.

Hence, the dire need to keep the truth from coming out.

But, it will come out.

So, they would rather protect the DNC and its murderers, maybe get some behind-the-scenes apology and compensation, rather than get public justice for their murdered son? Pathetic.

Isn't this funny. The Compost posts this sob story by the parents and right below it they post these related stories.....

The Post’s View: ‘Pizzagate’ shows how fake news hurts real people

Sheila Foster Anthony: Vince Foster was my brother. Donald Trump should be ashamed.

 

They obviously don't see the "Rich" irony here. Pun intended. The Seth Rich murder is really no different than Podesta/Pizza Gate/Vince Foster scandals.

I also remember several alleged freepers who would dutifully respond, “Obama is NOT a muslim, he only worships himself”.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, those posts seem to have stopped about the same time the hate-filled, intolerant neverTrump FReaks shut their pie-holes or left.

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

Perhaps John Podesta himself wrote this sob story.
