Re thoughts on the stolen FBI guns and Seth Rich (your post #2331):
There’s a lot of guns in DC at any one time, so I don’t think the time coincidence is indicative of anything in and of itself.
But, working in the other direction, wouldn’t the FBI have ballistics data on its own guns? And, wouldn’t they have the bullets from Seth Rich? What I don’t know is how comparisons are done—whether the grooving and scratching of the bullet has to be compared against a known test fired bullet one at a time, or whether the process has been automated. If it’s been automated... then the information would pop right up, wouldn’t it?
Otherwise, if there’s no automation, they’d have to do a visual comparison against that specific gun, or any other specific gun they wanted to match. Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn’t.
I think someone in FBI knows exactly what happened. That’s why the FBI gun was reported stolen and the times changed. They covered up a hit on SR. Probably some MS-13 thugs paid to take SR out. Then FBI takes them out. Mess cleaned up. All swept under the rug.
