Deep State Protection Of The Seth Rich Files May Be Ending
American Thinker ^ | March 14, 2026 | Ron Wright

Posted on 03/14/2026 10:21:26 AM PDT by iontheball

This case sits at the center of what looks like a RICO-level criminal enterprise: elements of the Deep State—FBI, DOJ, CIA, and allied networks—engaged in fraud, obstruction, election subversion, and worse. I’ve argued that point in articles from 2020 onward, all built on public records, FOIA battles, declassifications, and whistleblower leaks. Fully disclosing Rich’s seized laptops, drives, and related files could blow open the entire 2016 Russia narrative, exposing ties to Benghazi arms trafficking, Clinton Foundation pay-to-play, FISA warrant abuses, Ukraine meddling, and more. Instead, the FBI has stonewalled for years. However, the Trump DOJ and FBI may finally be ending the silence.

Not a snowball’s chance in hell.

Too close to Epstein.

I wont hold my breath. If, and I mean “IF” these files; not having been altered, fully accurate and IN FULL with NO REDACTIONS ... this could set an unavoidable target on a LOT of high-profile people.

I saw a pic of Cankles yucking it up with Epstein while testifying that she never met him. Whatever happened to that?

“Not a snowball’s chance in hell. Too close to Epstein.”

This is not as close to Epstein as it is to Podesta and Hillary.

And hell is already frozen, so the chance is 100%.

Too many deep state still in place. Anything found has probably been altered to protect the guilty.

Seth Rich gave DNC emails to Wikileaks.

The emails pointed to child sex crimes and satanism on the part of Podesta, Clinton and many others.

So MS13 was ordered, by these higher ups, to shoot Seth Rich. Later, following the usual cleanup pattern, the MS13 shooters met their end in the area of Myrtle Beach, if memory serves.

Tell me that after the Rs lose the midterms they won’t just get re-buried even deeper. Why is Patel moving so slowly?

Years ago I saw a video , the guy made the claim that access to the DNC files was done by someone local, as in the office , not the Russians. He had some forensic IT file that showed the event of the access and download of the files. Looked legit .

It must have been Rich who downloaded the files . He was found out and then snuffed out.

Assange always said that Russia was not his source for the DNC files.

All it would take is for Julian Assange to admit that Seth Rich gave him the files and that would blow a big hole in the case.

Julian Assange probably will never do that, if he were truly interested in justice, he would reveal his source of the emails and admit it was Seth Rich.

Hang on - NPR, Washington Post and NY Times all continue to say that Seth Rich was murdered by a mugger, and that any talk of DNC or deep state involved is just a conspiracy theory

So there can’t be any other files on Seth Rich.......

His name was William Binney, a retired NRA analyst and cryptographer. By analyzing the "metadata" and timestamps on the documents released by Wikileaks, His main contention was that the documents could only have been downloaded by a device connected directly to the servers, not an internet hack and particularly not one using internet trunk speeds in 2016 to Eastern Europe/Russia.

He calculated that the documents were down loaded at a rate of 23 MB/second, which is exactly the rate at which USB 2.0 thumb drives operate

Thanks for clarifying.

I do recall he was adamant that it was not hacking but local access.

About a month before Seth Rich was killed, I remember that some of John Podesta emails were leaked. In those emails there is a discussion of the email leaker. Podesta said that the leaker must be stopped, and a warning example made of him.

If you want to solve the Seth Rich case, you have to examine Podesta's emails and texts from that time period. Podesta ordered the hit on Seth Rich.

IMHO, Seth Rich was assassinated by the sub-rosa Obama wet works group...the same bunch who killed Lieutenant Quarles
Harris Jr., a murder group run by John Brennan.

The Obama mafia....I hope they nail them.

There could be the chance that Rich himself did not forward them to Wikileaks but someone else did ?

He once remarked that Wikileaks won’t reveal sources, “even dead ones”. So there is that.

Democrats like files, Release The Seth Rich files !

I just happened to look at Wikipedia’s version of the DNC files.

Sheesh, the whole fantasyland of the CIA FBI MSM Russia Russia Russia is on display there, it’s a whole industry of disinformation.

That’s just it. The left may see the Clintons as damaged good because of age and Epstein and quit protecting Hillary. The DNC may sacrifice them as a way to protect to young voters that they’re moving on the the younger and relatable “leaders” like AOC and Newsome. Especially if sacrificing the Clintons over Epstein means going after Trump over Epstein.

“The Rich killing is back on the front burner. Let’s see if something happens this time.“

Like the Epstien files. It’s going to point to a three letter acronym doing illegal activities on US soil, probably for political gain. Me thinks they are protecting ‘government’ and not the people.
