Fox News Said Federal Investigator Is Source for Seth Rich-Wikileaks Claims (no follow up)
Right Wing News ^ | March 24,2017 | Steven Cunningham

Posted on 05/25/2017 2:40:45 PM PDT by drewh

As the Gateway Pundit reported, the issue of Seth Rich and his connection to Wikileaks has been caught media attention again. However, the new bombshell information reported by Fox News, that a federal investigator has spoken with Fox News anonymously and confirmed that Seth Rich sent 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments to Wikileaks

The man who first announced a link between Rich and Wikileaks, Rod Wheeler, a retired Washington homicide detective and Fox News contributor, was blasted by the family for having announced his findings without the family’s consent, potentially violating a non-disclosure clause in their contract.

Subsequently, he echoed the Fox News claim regarding the federal investigator during an appearance on Hannity, stating that the “federal investigator that was involved on the inside of the case, that is very credible… he said he laid eyes on the computer and laid eyes on the case file”

Then to CNN, he said he only learned about the possible existence of such evidence through the reporter he spoke for the FoxNews.com story, presumably, Malia Zimmerman. The mainstream media jumped on this, claiming that Wheeler “recanted” his story.

However, the question remains, when will these media outlets reach out to the federal investigator who claimed to Fox News that a connection exists between Seth Rich and Wikileaks?

Will they reach out to him and confirm the Fox News claim that Seth Rich was emailing Gavin MacFadyen, a now-deceased American investigative reporter, documentary filmmaker, and director of WikiLeaks who was living in London at the time?

One thing is being clear - the only illegal collusion was among Dems who committed/hired murder to protect their image.....and they did it on an international basis.

Never, until the country has already learned the truth.

When it’s a Republican, the media is an arm of the prosecution.

When it’s a Democrat, the media is an arm of the defense.

Don’t hold your breath! They are already spinning and lying. How can a third party violate a confidentially agreement? Can’t have an agreement to a crime? That is the stuff of “movies”. You can have an agreement between two parties(or more). That is called Conspiracy.
Who would be a party to any agreement with Mr. Rich and/or his family. The only one I can see is the DNC!

1. This article is from May 24, not March 24.

2. Why does the author say the FoxNews reporter was Maria Zimmerman? I thought it was Adam Housley..

Investigator’s employment contract with the family I would think.

So the fed investigator saw the laptop which the DCPD can’t find. Did Argienti, a deputy for Preet Bharaha and SS agent in NY borrow it?

This is very interesting. I am thinking it is a start by Foxnews corporate to acknowledge that there is at least a scintilla of a scandal, related to Seth Rich’s assassination.

Stay well clear of Fort Marcy Park, would be my advice.

Post #10- Is this laptop story showing up in the media or a blogsite?

Newt Gingrich seems pretty keen on pursuing this - I know he’s not an official member of the admin, but he’s connected.

I should expect it by now, but I am constantly surprised how flagrantly the MSM has the back of the Democrats.

“potentially violating a non-disclosure clause in their contract”

there is no denial PI Wheeler has/had a contract with the Rich family, to be paid for by an unnamed third party.

NBC even reported -

“Wheeler’s contract with the Rich family prohibited him from speaking to the press without prior approval from the family, a clause he apparently violated when he spoke to Fox 5 D.C.”

Zimmerman is one of the Fox personnel reporting on the case.
