#1 "The MSM [mainstream media] is not covering this murder, instead pushing it to the side

The action arm of the Democratic party aka MSM, Deep State, and Beltway Party have no interest in the murder? Shocking, absolutely shocking.

#2 The Russian hacking yarn was spun as a cover for this murder. Robert Mueller has to know this. There be monsters in yonder swamp.

#3 "The MSM [mainstream media] is not covering this murder, instead pushing it to the side

Mr. Zimmerman could not be reached for comment.

#4 POTUS shouldn't need a petition to do the right thing. There were a lot of wheel stops, roadblocks, and impediments from doing this during the previous admin.--mainly in the WH and DOJ.

#5 its hard for me to understand the focus on this

- why murder a guy if you thought he had already sent files by email - isn't that too late by far and isn't killing him on the street taking way too big a chance

- since we know that DNC email was stolen via a phishing and hacking scheme (we know this because one of the email chains discusses this), why bother w Mr Rich who wasn't a hacker

the sad fact is that in DC there are many unsolved murders, even in good neighborhood and, yes, sometimes a robber hears a noise and doesn't steal what he wanted to steal because he is afraid of being seen

#6 - why murder a guy if you thought he had already sent files by email - isn't that too late by far and isn't killing him on the street taking way too big a chance

LG, retribution and a signal to others who might have similar notions. Not that much risk. There are many cutouts between those who make the decisions and those who actually do the deeds. In a list of unsolved murders in Washington, DC in 2016 around the time of the Seth Rich murder, he is a standout among those murders: Unsolved DC murders. This doesn't prove anything other than the Rich murder is "unusual." There are so many unanswered questions and pushback from the media and the left, that one has to ask "Why?"

#7 No, Podestas emails were phished. The DNC emails were leaked by Seth Rich. They are two separate events.

Everyone go sign the petition! The best way to put theories to rest is sunlight. A thorough investigation with an arrest and conviction.

Shot twice and not robbed, in a safe neighborhood, a political operative under a cloud...if this had happened in the Philippines or Bangladesh we'd all be chuckling about how it was obviously an assassination.

#8 To #6 I would add; why would Wikileaks offer a reward for information leading to the arrest of the murderer of DNC worker Seth Rich.

#9 why would the DNC have no interest in investigating the murder of one of its people?

#10 Because they're fine with him dead.

#11 The petition thing is another of President Obama's "I am the king" projects, and was never anything more than a propaganda tool. President Trump, who is not playing at such things, should simply turn it off. In America we make changes through our Congressional representatives.

#12 harcourt

its true that Podesta worked for the Clinton campaign, not the DNC, however, the timing of the leaked emails indicates they were acquired about the same time and we also know that there were phishing attacks on the DNC (IIRC, current thinking by security firms is that at least three people were hacked in the DNC)

#14 Btw, some of the other petitions available to sign are a bit of a hoot.

#15 KimDotCom named Seth Rich as the leaker of the DNC emails.

#16 why murder a guy if you thought he had already sent files by email - isn't that too late by far and isn't killing him on the street taking way too big a chance

Remember during the election periods and after we had daily reports of Hillary's temper tantrums? Now add a, perhaps not too bright, subordinate.

#17 If she won, I guarantee that it would have been buried. But she lost, and a good part of her political power broken (hopefully beyond repair, but I ain't holding my breath) and people that normally wouldn't have seen it or have been quiet are making it bubble to the surface.

#18 If she won you would be worried about people disappearing Stalin's Russia style - not some old story.

#19 bright pebbles

Kim Dotcom, who has been charged with various crimes in the US which seeks extradition from NZ, hasn't provided any actual evidence.

What's more, he seems to have discovered Seth Rich's involvement in May 2017, a year after the killing of Mr. Rich. He claims, in May 2017, to have discussed these matters with Mr. Rich in 2015 (not in 2016 when Rich was killed). This leads me to think Kim is blowing smoke.

#20 I don't know if it will do anything useful; investigators will tell you that if you look hard enough, you'll find what you're looking for, it may even actually be there.
But if it raises hackles inside the Beltway, I'm all for it.
