Link Between Russia and 2016 Election May Be Seth Rich Murder, Republican Lobbyist Tells
Newsweek ^ | 08/08/2017 | Alexander Nazaryan

But now a Republican lawyer and lobbyist wants Mueller to add another matter to his docket: the 2016 murder of Seth Rich, a 27-year-old employee of the Democratic National Committee....“We’ve ruled out that this a street crime," says Jack Burkman, the Republican operative who is urging Mueller to use his newly impaneled grand jury to investigate the Rich murder. In his letter to the special counsel, which was sent on Tuesday, Burkman argues that Rich’s murder “may be the ‘missing link’ that connects otherwise incongruent events relating to Russia collusion in the 2016 presidential election.” Burkman says in the letter that he is “willing to testify under oath” and “will share what we know” about the Rich murder.

Comey and Mueller probably killed Seth Rich to cover up their coverup of Hillarys crime spree

“It’s possible he could have been both a leaker and a victim of a street crime with neither being connected. Sometimes you just get dead.”

True. But if that’s the case, why all the oddities surrounding the investigation? Why were the police body cams never made public? Why was the D.C. Police Dept. so quick to rule it a botched robbery when no money was taken? Why were surveillance camera footage not sought, why have local police been told to not discuss the matter?

The facts I just listed are only a sample of the unusual circumstances surrounding Seth Rich’s murder investigation.

The fact that he was killed isn’t the main reason for suspicion. It’s the cover up.

I believe the Russian collusion myth was fabricated for the simple tactic of blaming the messenger. The Wikileaks bombshells had to be neutralized. So, say it came from those bad bad Ruskies. And, by God, it worked!

If Mueller tries to take down Trump on this witch hunt with bogus info, while ignoring factual data, I would hope that Trump’s legal team will take it to SCOTUS and that their judgement will lead to actions requiring Mueller’s law license be canceled and that he serve some prison time. ...Same should happen to Comey and the Dem cronies hired by Mueller.

What the hell was cause of death for Joe Rago?? No one says, anywhere. No foul play suspected, I guess tox report may have an answer? Was he known to use heavy exercise equipment?

[Rago was known for being an outspoken critic of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. In 2011, he captured the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing for what the Pulitzer organization called his “well crafted, against-the-grain editorials challenging the health care reform advocated by President Obama.”]

Had to look that one up.

He challenged Obama’s lying signature legislation.

No wonder he is dead. I am not surprised.

If the Seth Rich murder is going to be investigated it should be done by a different special prosecutor. Mueller is a Clinton toadie and he will not conduct an honest investigation. It’s in his best interest to find no connection between Rich and Hillary.

Only if it is in his best interest to stay alive.

It is in his best interest to not investigate at all.

People who show too much interest in Clinton’s affairs have a short life expectancy.

Not a good idea because he will not investigate, claim he did, and report he found nothing to substantiate the claim.

The missing link is who fed the emails to wikileaks. This might be Seth Rich.

What Newsweak is doing is conflating the leak and the murder, so by debunking the murder, they debunk the leak.
