That’s what I believe, that somehow Rich got the emails to wikileaks. This character Burkman embellishes the story to make Rich discover Russian hacking and give the emails to Natalia Veselnitskaya. That part of his story sounds crazy.
Rich could have been a 'true believer' in the Sanders camp - or more likely a 'babe in the woods' who wanted to expose corruption ... and "make the world a better place".
If Russians encouraged him - or supplied him with information showing what the DNC was up to - is anyone's guess. It's possible. They liked Bernie. Bernie has a long history with communists going back to his Trotskyite days in Chicago '64 (The FBI probably has file pictures of people attending those meetings...) Anyhow Rich could have been a useful idiot... pure as the driven snow and twice as gullible. He could have acted alone - or with 'help'... If democrat elite goons weren't running the show we might find out the truth. I suspect Mueller and his merry band of Clinton donors don't give a damn about the truth... they're after Trump. History won't be kind to Mueller.
I don’t know who Burkman is, but he could be a Uniparty Republican trying to tie the Russians in to stay with the narrative.
And to pin the murder on them.
Julian Assange said the source of the DNC e-mails was not the Russians.
There was no hack, that’s why they would not let the FBI or anyone look at their system.
It was a leak and he got plugged.
My suspicion is that the actual shooters were dispatched post-haste.
