Audio: Rod Wheeler Explains Fox News Fiasco, Claims Brother Blocked WikiLeaks Inquiries
In a phone call provided to Big League Politics by a source who wishes to remain anonymous at this time, private investigator Rod Wheeler explains what happened with the Fox News coverage of Seth Rich and how brother Aaron Rich was actively attempting to shut down anyone looking into the WikiLeaks connection.
***
Seth’s dad told Wheeler that Seth had recently obtained a second cell phone.
Seth’s brother told Wheeler that wasn’t true.
Seth’s brother online (not in this post but I remember from a few months ago) told a cousin not to post publicly about Seth’s murder after the cousin posted something like, “I knew it was a hit from day one. No way that was a robbery.”
Rest of the Big League Politics story:
On August 1, Wheeler filed a lawsuit in New York City alleging White House involvement in pushing the story. But in this recording, he explains that he acted on his own in contacting Fox News reporters and exactly how that all went down. The White House being involved is not mentioned once.
The story has already blown up, this will only give credence to the story. If Fox News channel broke it, it would seem like conspiracy theories, Wheeler says the Fox 5 DC reporter texted him. So she decided that she was going to run with this story, in her mind, so it didnt seem like a conspiracy theory from Fox News.
Wheeler said that brother Aaron Rich tried to block Wheeler from looking at Seths computer, even though there could be evidence on it. He said no, he said I have his computer, meaning him, Wheeler said. I said, well can I look at it? He said, what are you looking for? I said anything that could indicate if Seth was having problems with someone. He said no, I already checked it. Dont worry about it.
Wheeler said that Seths girlfriend told him that Aaron Rich had possession of Seths cell phones, but Aaron denied it and said were not going to worry about the cell phones.
Aaron also blocked Wheeler from finding out about who was at a party Seth attended the night of the murder.
All I want you to do is work on the botched robbery theory and thats it, Aaron told Wheeler, according to Wheelers claim on the audio. Wheeler said that Seths father Joel does not appear to have any hidden agenda.
Rich was shot in the back in the early morning hours of July 10, 2016, near his home while he was on the phone with his girlfriend 12 days before the publication of the DNC emails by WikiLeaks. The police initially ruled that it was a botched robbery but his wallet, watch, and necklace were still on his person when he was discovered by police.
Though Assange has infamously expressed interest in Rich, he has always maintained that WikiLeaks will never name a source. WikiLeaks has offered a $20,000 reward for Richs murderer however, and has retweeted articles that asserted he was their source without providing any additional comment.
A comment of mine and response to it from another thread on Seth Rich:
Steve_Seattle wrote:
“The FBI or any other government agency never got to inspect the DNC servers, despite their being evidence in a supposed crime.”
That is a YUGE point. This was supposedly the crime of the century, an “attack on our democracy,” yet our government intelligence agencies did not demand access to the server so they could perform their own analysis. If we still had real journalists in the MSM, they would have raised a stink about this. But they passively accept it without question.
They should have waited until they could indict Wheeler for perjury. It would have made a great basis for a counter suit.
NPR ‘broke’ this story earlier today.
Yahoo and CNN picked up on it.
Tactical error, IMHO. Any more spotlight on Seth Rich and the peon public will check out the facts on the internet — guy ‘robbed’ and nothing stolen, DNC dump comes out 12 days after Seth is murdered, no suspects despite over $700,000 offered in reward money, robbed in DC but his gold chain or wallet not stolen, alive when police find him but we’ve never seen the police cams or cameras in the area, no suspects.

One example of the MSM spinning this is at the above link.
So can Hannity get back on this case?
He needs to! In the interview with Hannity on the TV show, Wheeler makes the very allegations he now says were falsely attributed to him.
Mark Dice’s Twitter feed has video of him making some of the allegations to a show called “Last Stand.” Rod says he has direct sources linking Seth to Wikileaks and that a police source says he was told to stand down on the case.
Why is Rod changing his story?
Doesn’t want to be Arkancided?
We have to understand what the purpose of this “lawsuit” is. It does not matter one iota to the Democrats/Leftists that it’s all easily refuted bullsh*t. It doesn’t matter at all to them if within hours of the story being published we can show that there’s nothing to it.
They have filled their headlines and airwaves with “Trump colluded with Fox News to push fake Seth Rich news”. There’s a significant although shrinking percentage of people who get all their news from Mainstream sources and this is what they now know.
If there is a retraction it will be in small print on p. 63. Meanwhile they’ll be onto the next distraction.
What kind of family is not interested to know who murdered a family member? There is no disagreement on the fact that he was murdered or that somebody DID murder Seth.
Money? - would have to be in the millions. Threats?, more murders? - at some point, you can’t keep any secrets.

Great point.
The purpose is the misleading headline. Most folks don’t read past the first paragraph - if they read at all.
Meant to keep the “Seth Rich is Fake News” story going.
But now Hannity has to respond on his shows. Other people have already refuted Wheeler’s claims apparently.
Might lead to more attention on Seth Rich.
Seems odd they’d bring it up.
bkmk
I suspect Rod has children and maybe grandchildren. Their lives are more important than anything and Hitlery knows this.
I mentioned in the first thread about this that I wonder if Wheeler brought this lawsuit simply to get the MSM to report this story and make it news.
Everyone is talking about it now.
Maybe that is really all Wheeler wanted. He can always drop the suit.

This is classic Brer Rabbit please don’t throw me in the Briar Patch
I believe Wheeler wants to get this out without the DNC trying to stop it so this is the easiest way to do it
Maybe this is a publicity stunt by Wheeler to get this story some legs. It certainly brought it to the surface.
Did anyone see the video of the Rich family where Aaaron was LAUGHING and he had a stuffed panda sitting on the table next to him!!! BIZARRE!!! MAYBE AARON IS THER MURDERER!!!
