Current Events > Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich had been in contact with Wikileaks

(+) Yeah! (+)

WASHINGTON - It has been almost a year since Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was murdered in the nation's capital. There have been no solid answers about why he was killed until now.

Rich was shot and killed last July in Northwest D.C and police have suggested the killing in the District's Bloomingdale neighborhood was a botched robbery. However, online conspiracy theories have tied the murder to Rich's work at the DNC.

Rod Wheeler, a private investigator hired by the Rich family, suggests there is tangible evidence on Rich's laptop that confirms he was communicating with WikiLeaks prior to his death.

Now, questions have been raised on why D.C. police, the lead agency on this murder investigation for the past ten months, have insisted this was a robbery gone bad when there appears to be no evidence to suggest that.

Wheeler, a former D.C. police homicide detective, is running a parallel investigation into Rich’s murder. He said he believes there is a cover-up and the police department has been told to back down from the investigation.

"The police department nor the FBI have been forthcoming,” said Wheeler. “They haven't been cooperating at all. I believe that the answer to solving his death lies on that computer, which I believe is either at the police department or either at the FBI. I have been told both.”

When we asked Wheeler if his sources have told him there is information that links Rich to Wikileaks, he said, “Absolutely. Yeah. That's confirmed."

I remember assange hinting that it was him after he died...I'm careful to jump on this stuff but this isn't the first time they are closely connected to a sketchy murder.

Makes you wonder if that's why they're so eager to blame the Russians.

It would stand to reason that if the family are democrats, they would not want to go along with anything damaging to the party unless they were absolutely sure. That's why they hired the private investigator.

Another source has confirmed this. A federal investigator. It's the top story on Fox news. Of course, the dims are terrified of this because if true the whole Russia story falls apart, and with it their hopes of impeachment.

Just because other news outlets are confirming that a private investigator suggested this evidence exists (but won't produce it) doesn't mean it actually exists.

This.

However if some anonymous source says something bad about trump it's automatically true no matter what.

No, dim. This source is not the PI. But someone within the FBI.

damn, if this is true, this changes a lot.

If it's even true that he leaked stuff to Wikileaks it would destroy the current narrative completely.

I said he was the leaker last year when Assange offered $20k for info leading to the killers but was labeled conspiracy theorist on here.

For one, it would mean the DNC leaks came from an insider American source that was fed up with the DNC (or possibly had some other motive)

He was a Bernie supporter and saw that Sanders was getting railroaded by DNC to let Hillary win

Assange never stated whether or not he leaked anything to "protect" leakers

It could be the case that Assange donated to troll people a bit

Yeah actually the new details they're saying are that he did indeed leak thousands of DNC emails to Wikileaks and the FBI has them.
---

I'm sure if he gets too close to anything real he'll be found tied up and shot in the back of the head in what will be ruled as totally a suicide.

um isn't it possible it wasn't in reaction to that. Aren't they constantly putting out trump hit pieces. Could have been a coincidence

Rich's family is specifically denying that he had anything to do with wikileaks so that tweet isn't even accurate.

That's some frank underwood shit right there.

Yeah, most likely. WaPo probably wouldn't have been able to write up the Trump story in such a short amount of time unless they were holding on to it and/or had advanced warning of the Rich story. It's worth noting that Podesta works for them now, though.

The Trump story was successful in stealing the spotlight last night, even though it admits Trump didn't break the law.

This is pretty damning evidence against refuting Seth Rich's status as a whistle blower.

Looks like we've got a real bombshell here.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/murdered-dnc-staffer-seth-rich-had-sent-44000-internal-emails-to-wikileaks-report/article/2623186

The report says that he sent 44,000 internal DNC emails to Wikileaks. He WAS the leaker.

The report states federal law enforcement investigators found 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments between DNC leaders from January 2015 to May 2016 were sent by Rich to Gavin MacFayden, an American reporter and WikiLeaks director based in London who is now deceased. That information was found in a FBI forensic report on Rich's computer done within days of his murder.

Rich was killed July 10 in Washington, D.C., as he walked home. His murder remains unsolved.

that is pretty damning if he was the leaker

this means someone in the DNC did actually kill him

to stop him from leaking or revenge

who though?

Doesn't have anything to do with the timing of the articles though.

On another note, if the family did suspect that Seth was killed for leaking information, do you really think they'd speak out about that? If they already had one family member elminated for trying to expose corruption, they'd be understandably afraid of pushing the issue.

Hmmm.. very interesting stuff. An anonymous federal investigator is saying this.

The liberal media should be all over this since they love anonymous sources so much. But that would be going against the narrative big time

Wheeler isn't anonymous though.

True. I was referring to the investigator that spoke to Fox News.
