Seth Rich's Brother Pleads With Sean Hannity to Stop Spreading 'Conspiracy Theory'
CNN Money ^ | May 23, 2017: 1:03 PM ET | Oliver Darcy

Posted on 05/23/2017 11:35:47 AM PDT by drewh

The brother of slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich wrote a letter on Tuesday to the executive producer of Sean Hannity's Fox News show pleading with him to find "decency and kindness" in his heart and stop spreading an unproven conspiracy theory about the unsolved murder.

"As the family, we would hope to be the first people to learn about any such evidence and reasons for Seth's death," he added. "It is a travesty that you would prompt false conspiracy theories and other people's agendas rather than work with the family to learn the truth."

Rich was shot to death last July in the streets of Washington, DC. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to investigate.

But for months, right-wing media outlets have floated unproven theories that Rich was the person who provided Wikileaks with thousands of internal DNC emails, and suggested his death was retribution for the supposed leak.

The theory resurfaced with a vengeance last week, in part due to a Fox News story the outlet has yet to retract. Hannity and other Fox News personalities seized on the story and have pushed the theory.

Brad Bauman, the Rich family spokesman, told CNN on Monday that Hannity had not reached out to the family. Hannity did, however, reach out over the weekend to invite Kim Dotcom, the Megaupload founder, on to his program.

Dotcom, who is currently in New Zealand fighting extradition to the U.S., where he is wanted on charges of copyright infringement and money laundering, has claimed to have evidence Rich leaked documents to Wikileaks. Dotcom has not replied to CNN's requests for comment, but said in a statement posted to his website Tuesday that he would be willing to work with authorities.

Don't be so quick to judge based on this story.

It's from CNN and may be just plain made up or seriously distorted.

I was just about to post about the similarity between the Seth Rich family and the Vince Foster family.

“Oh, please don’t investigate. I don’t want to know why my loved one died. Things are just fine they way they are, us never knowing...”

Who says that? It goes against every concept of human curiosity and fair play, the concept of justice.

Sean Hannity has already said the family wants him to cool it.

“Second, it smacks of a buyoff when they have a DNC spin doctor and claim truths being revealed are false conspiracy theories.”

As someone posted earlier, there needs to be a looksee up on Lake Champlain to see of the Rich's have a new “dacha” next to Bernie Sanders, and that it was purchased for them by an “anonymous donor."

Someone just mentioned the Kopechne family reminding me that this trend goes back 60 years. Why are people so terrified of the Democrats? No one is afraid of Donald Trump or the Republicans! In fact, quite the opposite.

Boy, don’t you know they’re working feverishly to execute a hit on KimDotCom, now.

Kim Dotcom is smart enough to have a dead man's switch in place.

As I predicted, not only will they attack Kim Dotcom as a kook and destroy his credibility, so they will with anyone who publicly supports the theory.......

The DC police have probably assigned the same investigagive team that handled the Chandra Levy case.

I agree. The family has no idea what is going on--but they know it is dangerous.

I don't think so. I believe they are being counseled by skilled "agents" of the DNC who are successfully convincing the family that the murder actually was a robbery attempt..........And everything else contrary to their propaganda is just nut case conspiracy.

Yes. This.

Ditto Post #11. Hammer down, Sean! Hammer down!

It’s over target now for sure. This and the Podesta Gingrich moaning? They’re exposed.

There is a deep state. They are what Eisenhower warned about in his “military industrial complex” speech (which is worth reading).

They can murder whoever they want, use the best lawyers and the major media for cover, and that is what “the swamp” is about...

They are multinational and they use the cover of the secret services of many countries to hide their dirty deeds.

That is what has run over the poor Seth Rich family.

Now they know it is not a crazy conspiracy theory but the simple truth.

Doesn’t Kim have a case of obstructing justice against the DCPD if they don’t accept the info they’re offering 20K for?
