“”At 4:19 a.m., police patrolling nearby responded to the sound of gunfire in Bloomingdale and found Rich lying mortally wounded at a dark intersection a block and a half from a red-brick row house he shared with friends””
I’m not a big city resident but how many times does a routine patrol car happen to be in a neighborhood when the cops just happen to hear gunshots? No 911 call - just cruising?
I can’t find any mention of a computer in Rich’s possession anywhere...but it’s certainly talked about in articles. Strange. Here’s one:
http://yournewswire.com/fox-news-seth-rich-emails-wikileaks/
“”According to investigators working on the case, there is evidence on Rich’s laptop that confirms he was actively working with WikiLeaks to expose the corruption within the Democrat party and the Clinton campaign.””
No doubt that the police retrieved his laptop from the house/apt where he lived. Going there would have been next step, when he died, to check on ‘why’ he was shot.
A botched robbery would NOT have been their first thought, as nothing was taken. Immediately, the investigators would have thought about murder. The first policeman to the scene would have secured the area. Forensics would have been called, and detectives to investigate. At that point, the home would have been gone through for ANY (including computer) information to lead them to answer.
I would say ‘higher up’ contacts would have made a determination about ‘what happened’, because pressure from either family or politicians brought it...because of WikiLeaks content on the computer. I remember when Gavin died (original founder? of WikiLeaks). I follow @JulianAssange, which is Julian Assange TRUE Twitter account. All others are fake. JA wrote about him at that time.
My take (former C J Instructor): The police were commanded NOT to call it homicide. Who? It had to be pretty high up. Probably came as directive thru Mayors office, although probably not from him/her. Was the Chief of Police a Democrat? Mayor? DA? Those channels would be used, or any determination of ‘how he died’ would be challenged.
Not sure about the ‘just cruising’ of the police, anything is possible, or maybe someone wanted them to find him fast and stop murder angle? That is all just speculation now.
