Geraldo Rivera has embraced conspiracy theories about the death of Seth Rich, becoming the second Fox News personality after Sean Hannity to push fake news about the ex-Democratic National Committee staffer’s death.
After false reports that e-mails from WikiLeaks were found on Rich’s server, Hannity began pushing the idea that Rich could have been killed as plot to protect Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. Rich’s parents – who have appealed to the public to help solve his murder – have denounced the conspiracy.
Rivera, who anchors the channel’s “Geraldo at Large” program, gave the conspiracy theory some life with his tweet, but many at Fox are angry at the coverage.
In a Daily Beast report, unidentified staffers at the network fumed about Hannity’s attention to the matter. “ARE WE STILL AIRING THAT S***?!” one told the Web site. “It’s just gross,” another added.

I remember Geraldo when he was a local reporter in NYC.
All his interviews were left wing biased.
Sometimes you’ve got to take it where you can get it.
Geraldo: the truth is buried in a safe in Chicago...
Until his murder is solved, this theory is as sound as any other.
Forward & the Daily Beast, two shinning leftist tampons.
Any evidence to back up the Russia conspiracy theory?
Why are the strange circumstances and Evidence surrounding Seth Rich’s Murder a COnspiracy Theory, but the Trump Russia collusion with absolutely NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER is not considered just plain batshit Crazy Conspiracy????

His statement is up.
Well was it proven fake?
You do realize Wheeler went in CNN and recanted his statements yes?
Seth Rich being murdered for being the Wikileaker of the DNC e-mails makes more sense than any of the Russia stuff.
If he’s onto it, there must be something there.........
And send Daniel J. Solomon there too.
Screw Twitter................
The liberals may have prodded Geraldo to grab the story — a sure fire way to make a mockery of it and kill it.
