Former Marine Charged In Shooting, Hit-And-Run Of Controversial Seth Rich Investigator
The Daily Caller ^ | Chuck Ross

Posted on 03/21/2018 10:16:59 AM PDT by Enlightened1

A former Marine, who claims to have worked as a special agent with the Department of Energy, has been charged with shooting and running over Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman, who conducted a controversial investigation of former DNC staffer Seth Rich’s murder.

Kevin Doherty, 46, was charged Monday with Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony and two counts of Malicious Wounding, according to a press release from the Arlington, Va, Co. police department.

The Washington Post provided more details about the attack, which was the second to befall Burkman over the past several months. An unidentified assailant attacked Burkman with pepper spray at his home in January.

Burkman was shot and run over March 13 at a Rosslyn Marriott hotel’s parking garage. Burkman was there to retrieve what he thought were documents from an FBI whistleblower.

Doherty worked for Burkman on the Rich investigation until July 2017. Rich, a data analyst at the DNC, was murdered in Washington, D.C., on July 10, 2016, under mysterious circumstances. Doherty was an investigator on Burkman’s Profiling Project, the group he formed to solve the Rich case.

Rich’s death was initially described as a robbery gone wrong, but conspiracy theorists speculated he was killed due to involvement in stealing DNC emails eventually released through WikiLeaks. There is no evidence Rich was involved in handling DNC emails.

Burkman began working pro bono for Rich’s family in late 2016. He has come under heavy criticism for circulating unfounded theories about Rich’s death, including the Russian government was behind the killing. Burkman later claimed evidence suggested a serial killer murdered Rich.

Rich’s family members have since distanced themselves from Burkman.

Burkman fired Doherty and sent him a cease and desist letter, he told The Post.

A “Former Marine” indeed. That is one of the weirdest stories...there is a lot of strange dynamics going on in it.

This guy has more lives than a cat. Speaking of which, has his cat been killed yet? That’s one of the signatures of a contract killing by the Clintons/DNC.

If I were writing a novel, I’d have the Hillary machine planting Doherty with the Burkman team, to keep tabs on his progress with the DNC plot to kill Seth Rich.

Oh, get real. We all know it was a DNC hit carried out by contracted MS-13 types who have since fled the country.

This reads like a disinfo piece. the part I read, anyway.

Wasn’t Burkman the DNC hack they assigned as “spokesman” for the Rich family?

Just goes to prove that this was always a political HIT on Seth Rich!

"There is no evidence Rich was involved in handling DNC emails."

What the eff????

IT WAS HIS JOB to "handle emails" for hilLIARy and the DNC.

While there may be 'no evidence" that he handed them over to Wikileaks (just before he was killed) there is a LOT of smoke indicating that flame.

I hope a white hat detains him and finds out who hired him.

Here’s a conspiracy - the guy in the picture is the nut-job who attempted the murder.

But remember, Seth Rich was killed around July 10, 2016 in “a botched robbery” - the official narrative.

About 15 days later, July 25-28, the Democrats held their convention and made Hillary their candidate.

How convenient that the guy leaking info to Wikileaks was murdered a couple of weeks before. And the DNC went ALL-OUT and got Seth Rich a MEMORIAL BIKE RACK.

Ooh, that must have cost big bucks.

NO money for reward - a BIKE RACK.

A wise man once told me - this reminds all the other DNC staffers how they can be killed and nobody will do a serious investigation of their murder.

Well, if they do - they might get run over.

What exactly made the Seth Rich investigator “controversial?”

Looks like the deep state is scraping the bottom of the barrel for button men.

Weird. The guy worked for him, shot him, ran him over with a car, and the guy also got pepper sprayed by someone else!

I might be looking to lay low for awhile if I were him!

Probably the fact that he got his fat butt out of a chair and actually looked at this thing.

THAT alone is pretty controversial!

Seriously though, is “serial killer” so much of a stretch when considering the Clintons?

There is no evidence Rich was involved in handling DNC emails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Except for Julian Assange offering a reward for information on Rich’s murder.
