Julian Assange testimony requested in Rich v Fox News August 5, 2020, Seth Rich involvement in DNC email and document leak, UK court per Hague Convention

2020-08-06

Attorney Clevenger is a persistent attorney. He may succeed in bringing out information regarding Seth Rich before the Hague Court. It is not clear whether such testimony would be recognized in the U.S. Courts. Nonetheless, this could be interesting in showing whether the information obtained from the DNC computers might be a hack by Russians or an inside job download by a staffer.
[CitizenWells] Julian Assange testimony requested in Rich v Fox News August 5, 2020, Seth Rich involvement in DNC email and document leak, UK court per Hague Convention

"Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the FBI’s claims that (1) it did not investigate matters pertaining to Mr. Rich; (2) it did not examine his computer; and (3) it conducted a "reasonable" search but could not locate any records or communications about Mr. Rich. Specifically, Ms. Sines’s testimony flatly contradicts the affidavit testimony of FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy."...Attorney Ty Clevenger March 29, 2020

"I repeatedly asked U.S. Attorney John Durham and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to investigate whether Mr. Hardy lied under oath, and in an April 22, 2020 letter Mr. Horowitz wrote that he referred my complaint to the FBI’s Inspection Division. Was Mr. Hardy forced out?"...Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020

"Re: Seth Rich, keep an eye on the National Security Division of the Justice Department. As you can see from the federal complaint, the NSD ignored a FOIA request that I filed back in 2018 for records about Seth Rich. And look at Paragraph 16, plus Exhibit 8. I think NSD is playing a bigger role in the "Russian hacking" narrative than most of us understood. By sending Seth Rich records there, it’s easier to keep things classified. So why would a "street robbery" investigation need to be classified?"...Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020
