Seth Rich: The Murder Washington Doesn't Want Solved
2020-09-29
[American Thinker] On the face of things, the July 2016 murder of Seth Rich had intrigue enough for a full season of House of Cards.

Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington, D.C., street and take nothing. Two weeks later, international man of mystery Julian Assange strongly suggests on Dutch TV that Rich was his source for the purloined DNC emails then roiling the Democratic Party and offers a $20,000 reward to find the killer.

Three days before the November election, Assange reportedly tells liberal media analyst Ellen Ratner that Rich was indeed his source. Days after Trump's inauguration, legendary investigative journalist Sy Hersh cites an FBI report confirming Assange's claim. Later that year, DNC honcho Donna Brazile dedicates her book Hacks to Rich and wonders out loud whether the Russians had "played some part in his unsolved murder."

#7  The philosophy here is 'Don't turn over a rock if you expect to find a snake'.

The sad fact is the the Rich brothers (Seth and Aaron) were partners in their data operation, and the parents would like to keep one son alive.

#6  What thief takes the time to police his brass

'Hands on' assassins may anticipate a multi-magazine TV running gun battle but prefer selected timing, location, unaware target, and a revolver.

#3  "At this point, what difference does it make?"

The leaks mysteriously terminated immediately following the Rich shooting. Similarly, the Bureau's FISA interest in Carter Page ended when Page left the Donald Trump campaign. Oh, and of course you knew Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.

#2  There's too much and too little. A single line on a piece of paper doesn't mean anything. But if you draw 359 more at correct angles they describe tangents and the shape becomes apparent. If history teaches anything there's nothing too thuggish or low for the socialist mind.

#1  If I was gunned down in the street in a "botched robbery", I reaalllllyyy doubt the FBI would be conducting a forensic analysis of my laptop within hours of my death.

You know why the FBI didn't seize the DNC servers? Because they weren't hacked and they knew from the start that Seth Rich was the source.

Botched robbery? They left his wallet, phone, watch. But they DID take all the shell casings. What thief takes the time to police his brass but doesn't take the time to kneel down and take what he came for? WHO KILLED SETH RICH?
