Friday morning the Russian embassy in the UK tweeted a meme suggesting Hillary Clinton was connected to the murder of Seth Rich. Heres the tweet:
(TWEET-AT-LINK)
So, first of all, theres the graphic. Who killed Seth Rich? is superimposed over the face of Hillary Clinton. Obviously, the suggestion being made is that Rich was murdered for the leak of DNC material which damaged Clinton. But it could also be taken as suggesting that Hillary herself ordered a hit on Rich.
Then theres the text which states that Seth Rich was #WikiLeaks informer . Thats a claim that was recently made in two stories by Fox News. According to these stories, the FBI examined Richs computer after his death and found thousands of stolen DNC emails and proof that Rich was in contact with WikiLeaks.
Ed looked at those stories earlier this week and found them less than convincing. They require you to assume the FBI and the DC police are jointly participating in a cover-up of the real reason for Richs death. Shortly after Eds story went up, NBC News reported that two FBI agents denied the FBI had, or had ever examined, Richs computer:
Meanwhile, a current FBI official and a former one completely discount the Fox News claim that an FBI analysis of a computer belonging to Rich contained thousands of e-mails to and from WikiLeaks.
Local police in Washington, D.C., never even gave the FBI Richs laptop to analyze after his murder, according to the current FBI official.
And a former law enforcement official with first-hand knowledge of Richs laptop said the claim was incorrect. It never contained any e-mails related to WikiLeaks, and the FBI never had it, the person said.
Of course, thats what they would say if they were part of a cover-up/conspiracy. But if thats true then the family of Seth Rich must also be part of the conspiracy because they said none of this is true. Its also worth noting that the investigator quoted in that initial Fox 5 story later told Newsweek he had never seen Richs laptop and had nothing firsthand about what was on it. All of that to say, there is good reason to believe Seth Rich was not the source of the DNCs hacked emails.
So why is the Russian embassy tweeting this? One explanation is the one I raised back when Julian Assange first hinted that Seth Rich might have been his source. Russia and Assange were clearly not happy with being linked as source and distributor of the hacked emails from the DNC, DCCC, Podesta, etc. Assange prefers to claim he is independent, not the face of a Russian government cyber effort, and Russia has always denied that it played any role in the hacking.
Recall that shortly after our government began to publicly blame Russia for the hack last year, an online figure appeared calling himself Guccifer 2.0. Guccifer 2.0 claimed he (not Seth Rich) was behind all of this. Further investigation suggested Guccifer 2.0 was not a real person at all but a Russian propaganda effort created to take credit for something the Kremlin was denying involvement in.
So a week or so after doubts began to circulate about Guccifer 2.0, Assange pours gasoline on a conspiracy theory floating around on Reddit which says Seth Rich was the real source. He never really says it outright, but he suggests it could be true. Again, the result is that Assange maintains apparent distance from Russia and Russia has someone new to blame as it continues to deny responsibility for the hack. The fact that the Russian embassy is now pushing the same story Assange was last year shows they both prefer it to the alternative, i.e. that Russia hacked the DNC and gave the material to WikiLeaks.
What a stupid inference. Of course Seth's parents said it wasn't true. If they said it was, they'd meet their deaths. Mysteriously, of course.
Well, ok, maybe. Had a rant yesterday.
That article brings up a great point: the media and Establishment considers loyalty to the traditional American people to be treason.
There is the same amount of evidence than Seth Rich was ordered killed by Hilary as there is that Alexander Litvinenko was ordered poisoned by Putin. No direct evidence, and every bit of logical assumption. Yet anyone who suggests the former is a conspiracy theory nutjob, but the latter is just assumed to be fact by the left stream media and neo-con Pubs.
He didn’t just have emails about sanders being screwed over. HE HAD ALL THE EMAILS. Seth sent them all to Wikileaks. They thought that he could be stopped before he sent them but they were too late.
Why do you think the bogus rape case against Julian Assange was dropped all of a sudden today?
Does Donald Trump seem worried at all about anything? NO!
Honorary Serb wrote: " Jeff Sessions did not die, but he has been paralyzed by his forced recusal on anything to do with the Russians.
Sweden dropping the “charges” against Assange at this time is indeed suspect.
definitely makes it less likely Assange will 100% out Seth Rich as the leaker (such a difficult decision for WikiLeaks to make in any case, as they don’t want to burn sources, not even dead ones).
Assange will have a whole new set of legal battles to plan now. good luck to him.
however, there will be much more to discover without Assange going further than he already has. keep digging.
And the Constitution an obstacle.
And the Constitution an obstacle.
The deep state has wanted to declare war on Russia for a while now. This policy developed through the Bush and Obama administrations, and if Hillary was elected, this summer might have been when it started. President Trump didn't go along, and wants better relations with Russia. The deep state came up with blaming the election on Russia not because of any facts, but because they are the designated next target anyway, and so it just preps the public to justify their war.
Right, Vince?
Recall last week, the Rich's private investigator,
(ff 2:09) Wheeler admits he never saw the emails or Seths computer because he got the run around from the DC Metro Police and FBI.
Let me clear that up right now, exactly what it was that I found. Now I have never see the emails myself directly. I havent even seen the computer that Seth Rich used. Heres the problem with all of this. I dont even know where the computer is. I checked with the police department. They said they dont know where the computer is...and the FBI, they say they dont know where the computer is....(3:25)every time I talk with the police department though Sean, every time I talk to the police department about the WikiLeaks or the emails, its automatically shut down. That discussion is automatically shut down....(3:46)We have a statement from the FBI saying, telling us to contact the DC police. The DC police says contact the FBI. Now which is it. If this is just a murder investigation, first of all, why would the FBI be involved? The only reason that the FBI would be involved, just so the viewers understand, is if this has some degree of national exposure meaning, maybe it is related to the DNC... (4:38) But heres the thing, and this is so important. Theres been a $125k reward out for information pertaining to the death of Seth Rich. Not one person has come forward. Heres one other thing thats going to be startling and Im just going to say this right now. I reached out to the Police Dept. way back in March when the family first hired me, right, to get involved. I didnt hear anything from the Police Dept. for two to three days. Guess what I learned yesterday from the family of Seth Rich. The Police Dept. did not call me back because someone, a high ranking official at the DNC check this out - a high ranking official at the DNC, when I called the Police Dept. they got that information and called the Rich family wanting to know why was I snooping around.
By the end of the week ... Seth's family attorney issued a cease and desist order to Rod Wheeler.
Note: Rewards offered for info on Seth Rich murder:
Also consider the following details....Seth was known to routinely frequent Lou's DC bar at which Seth was characterized as:
Coincidentally, Jack Posobiec tweeted
an image of Joe Capones facebook page (the owner of the bar frequented by Seth Rich) illustrating Joe's visit to the WH 4 days prior to Seth's murder.
Here is a screen cap of the White House visitor's log
provides an embedded video clip suggesting Seth's family had access to Seth's computer after his demise.
In the last couple of days, Reddit posted threads which revealed several of Seth's social media identities and accounts and reddit-ers were busy filtering through the data.
On George Webb's investigative series a commenter revealed some coincidences which suggest the time frame when Seth became disenchanted with the democratic party machine. See this:
