Correct.

Think of what unravels if Seth is proven to be the leaker. The entire “Russians hacked the election” lie is out the window. Major egg on the faces of Democrats and the MSM.

Then the question becomes, “If Seth was the leaker, who killed him?”

That’s a powerful MOTIVE to kill the IT guy leaking your DNC info. “What other information did he have on them?”

Did Seth set up a ‘dead man switch’ for additional info?

We shall see.

PING!!!

Article and comments, esp #28 among others

Smoke and mirrors

This is about the HEADLINE: Fox News behind Fake News, Trump orchestrated fake news.

A lawsuit though... opens the door to depositions, testimony, under oath, big can of worms.

A tactical error. Sure the NYT already had their follow up stories written as part of this campaign.

Thanks, TigerClaws

Sounds like Rod Wheeler never learned the classic “Oscar Wilde” lesson about filing lawsuits.

I saw the segment where Wheeler appeared on Hannity, and it sounded like he was reporting on the results of HIS investigation, and he referenced various unnamed “sources” for what he reported. How is anyone else responsible for his own bad reporting, if indeed it was bad reporting? Hannity trusted his reporting, but maybe he shouldn’t have.

“He’s on national TV saying the ‘false quotations’ attributed to him. This lawsuit is a joke. But CNN is already running with it as a big story. Again, tactical error!”

Sounds like another glaring example of Fake News that can be hung around their necks. You found this video very quickly, but they either weren't aware of it, or ignored it. I'm guessing they weren't aware. They're not interested in finding information that doesn’t fit their breathless ‘bombshell’ anti-Trump storyline.

DNC IT staffer with divided loyalties between Hillary and Bernie found murdered shortly after curiously coincidental IT security breach.

Investigation goes nowhere, lead detective is brother of lead DNC figure who happens to be leading Hillary’s campaign.

That very same lead DNC figure has Pakistani family on her IT payroll involved in fraudulent billing and questionable financial transactions amounting to millions of dollars, supposedly one threatened a family member with violence for asking too many questions. Several family members flee the country to evade arrest.

When capital hill police seize computers investigating Pakistani IT staffer, DNC figure publicly threatens police. She also keeps one Pakistani on her payroll even while he is barred from doing his job, and only fires him after his arrest. A search of his property turns up apparently stolen government property in the form of multiple destroyed hard drives.

Said DNC figure is currently stonewalling the investigation. NPR runs lengthy hit piece about a wealthy person in Texas because he helped finance the investigation into an unsolved murder.

Yep, baseless.

The Hannity interview is in this thread. You’re correct. wheeler speaks as though he spoke directly with D. C. Police and has his own contexts and sources.

Now he’s blaming another reporter? How is something “falsely attributed” to him when he says it on national tv?

He didn’t qualify it, “I got this from a reporter who is close to the source...”. He wanted to be the detective who broke the story. So he did. Then when it was retracted he didn’t want the blame.

Baseless lawsuit.

It’s amazing though seeing Seth Rich and Pizzagate stories and the level of anger and “fake news” labels they spit out.

Sure is a lot of smoke ...

Great post!

How did “fight her all the way to the convention” Seth turn around and take a job with Hillary’s campaign the day before he died?

"Fox reported that the leaks came from inside the party, and not from hackers linked to Russia . . . "

I listen to Fox pretty regularly, and - apart from the possible ramifications of the Wheeler story - I never remember Fox stating that as a fact, but only as a possibility. It does not seem to me to be a wild theory, but something quite within the realm of possibility. Is it now forbidden for journalists to question the official version of a story? Is it now forbidden to question the pronouncements of our intelligence agencies?

What a load of bunk.
When the past administration lead the news around by the nose, I mean after all, Benghazi was due to an internet video says the past regimes mouth pieces.

We already knew the answer before the question was asked. But just to be double-sure, we should ask Vince Foster.

I recall that Wheeler cited a source in the DC police department and/or the FBI. I'm assuming that - whichever reporter originally came up with that information - didn't make it up out of thin air. If they did, they should be fired. If they didn't, then the story isn't as bogus as NPR claims.

If someone at Fox knows who the sources were, and if the sources were real, they should go public with it or - at the very least - reaffirm that they got their information from legitimate inside sources and weren't just making things up..

They’re purposely confusing the commentary (Hannity) with the news.

Just suggesting it “could have been” a source other than the Russians is worthy of attack though. That’s all they got - the Russian Conspiracy Theory.

Notice they gave up the lie it was “17 U.S. intelligence agencies who all agreed” about the Russian hacking. It was 3 guys and all were allies of Comey.

The FBI or any other government agency never got to inspect the DNC servers, despite their being evidence in a supposed crime.

Instead, the DNC (and MSM) relied on a DNC-hired firm who said, “It was Russian-affiliated hackers.” Not even Russia as a nation hacking, but hackers in some way affiliated with Russia. What, they drink Vodka?

DWS’ brother is in charge of the Awan investigation.

I’m sure he’ll get to the bottom of it!

I’m not reading this crap. I’m guessing it doesn’t say he was never murdered last summer and is alive and well in Chicago.

Your posts on this thread have so many excellent hit points. May justice be served, somehow!

Right. But he's not a "lead detective". And from what I read, it's not clear he's involved in the Awan case, but the case is being worked out of the same office he's in.
