Corpus Christi Republican Congressman Blake Farenthold considers the source behind the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee's email server an unanswered question and believes a federal investigation is warranted.
Speaking on CNN Wednesday, the fourth-term congressman refuted a widely believed conclusion that the Russian government interfered with the U.S. presidential election to aid President Donald Trump's campaign and instead indicated a conspiracy theory about a slain Democratic National Committee staffer could be true.
"My fear is our constant focusing on the Russians is deflecting away for some other things that we need to be investigating," Farenthold said on the network. "Theres still some question as to whether the intrusion of the DNC server was an insider job or whether or not it was the Russians."
Later Wednesday, Farenthold elaborated on his opinion of how the investigation should be handled in a phone interview with the Caller-Times. The death should be investigated in the same manner Russian interference has been reviewed, he said.
"That should be a part of the ongoing investigation into alleged Russian interference in the election, because thats an alternative theory that deserves being looked at," Farenthold said.
The "insider job" theory centers on the July murder of Seth Rich, who worked for the Democratic National Committee and was shot in the back.

Or as Assange likes to call leakers: Whistle-blowers.
Shot several times in the back, in view of surveillance cameras, purportedly by 2 Hispanic males who were murdered themselves the next day.
The investigation into that double murder is also shutdown.
Where is the cops body camera footage and the feeds from close to ten surveillance cameras operating in the area at the time of Seth Rich’s shooting?
What did he say to the cops, he was still alive when they found him.
What does the autopsy report say, were his wounds fatal or did he die en route to hospital
Why aren’t the degenerate scumbags in the “press” asking these questions?
And, yes...you can look at tweets without being Twitter member. You just cannot reply/tweet.
Petition signed. Thank you. IMO, we need Trump’s DOJ to take this out of the local police department’s control, just as Obama’s DOJ did with Ferguson, MO.
Thanks, but not necessary. Just found that are at least two threads on FR about USAA dropping Hannity including one on Front Page.
Looks like they’ve deleted the tweet.
Here’s their twitter feed link, where you can see folks replying and BASHING them for pulling Hannity ads....
good comments
I don't understand this thinking.
If not for the murder what separates Rich from any other DNC staffer?
Sort of like the Miriam Carey investigation?
I think you question is what identifies him as the leaker, yes? There is evidence other than his murder, that associates him with Wikileaks. he leaked before he was murdered, that evidence has to exist.
The way you are viewing the case, if Rich's murder was in fact a random act of violence, then he couldn't have been the leaker. I find that to be logically nonsense.
Where?
Assange and Kim Dotcom certainly haven't produced any.
The way you are viewing the case, if Rich's murder was in fact a random act of violence, then he couldn't have been the leaker.
No, not at all. I'd just don't think the fact that he was murdered is any indication that he was the leaker.
I agree with that. Maybe the leak and murder are linked, maybe they aren't. That's what I said in the first place.
As far as evidence of both events (leaking and the murder), I wasn't asserting I could marshal it, or even that it would ever see the light of day, only that it exists. The way the press and DEMs are framing the issue, if the Rich murder isn't linked to the leak, then Rich didn't leak. IOW, if you can't prove Rich was murdered for leaking, then he isn't the leaker.
If Rich was murdered for leaking, there is more than one way to get to "Rich was the leaker." One is to solve the murder including establishing the motive, the other is to find evidence created when he leaked, before he was murdered. If Rich was the leaker, some evidence of that was created before he was murdered.
They get enough “I’ll never be a USAA customer thank you” will change their minds right back.
He’s right.
Got a mention on GatewayPundit http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/05/breaking-gop-lawmaker-calls-federal-investigation-seth-rich-murder/
One of those rwowas also a DNC staffer
Ever notice that when the magician wants you to miss something he's up to, he misdidects your attention with some other attention-getting move?
Vitaly Churkin, 64, Russian UN Ambassador *dies suddenly* in New York, 19 Feb 2017.
[No mention of any former woman US Senator from New York he had on the payroll, helping supply Uranium to the Russian Federation.]
Part of this whole scenario is the fact that major news outlets are so engaged in fake news that what they do is now probably bleeding over the Overton window.
