Seth Rich sent 44,053 DNC emails to WikiLeaks

Bringing forward g(r)om's Instapundit Article from yesterday.
Fox News is reporting this morning that a federal investigator who reviewed murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich’s computer after his death found evidence that he had been communicating with WikiLeaks:
Hopefully, this recent development regarding the Seth Rich murder won't be overshadowed in the media by some James Comey note taking revelation. Or is that actually the purpose of the Comey revelation ?
Money quote:

The federal investigator, who requested anonymity, said 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments between Democratic National Committee leaders, spanning from January 2015 through late May 2016, were transferred from Rich to MacFadyen before May 21.

On July 22, just 12 days after Rich was killed, WikiLeaks published internal DNC emails that appeared to show top party officials conspired to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont from becoming the party’s presidential nominee. That controversy resulted in Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigning as DNC chairperson. A number of Sanders supporters refused to back party nominee Hillary Clinton, and some subsequently formed groups to work against Clinton and the party.

#1 Just for grins, someone ought to ask the DNC if they think this needs to be investigated or not. When they say "no," it will be another nail in the coffin. So will the MSM's reaction.

#2 Seth Rich info will destroy their Russia smear foundation that is built upon Russia hacked DNC. This is reason they desperately attack Trump to negate Seth Rich story.
Wheeler, who is a former police homicide detective, is running his own investigation into Rich’s murder and believes the police department may be trying to cover up what actually led to Rich’s death. “I have seen and read the emails between Seth Rich and Wikileaks,” which are in the possession of the FBI, the investigator said.
“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.” Wheeler also claims that a source inside the police department told him the police were ordered to stand down on Rich’s case.

“Now, that is highly unusual for a murder investigation, especially from a police department. Comey had Seth's Laptop , along with Weiner's files that Comey did not turn over to Justice Dept that's why Trump fired his corrupt ass while he was 3000 miles away, so he would not have time to clean out his office .......

#3 I just keep asking "Cui Bono."

Who had something to gain from Mr. Rich's murder? The Russians? Seriously?! A robbery gone bad that left $, phone and jewelry. Nah. Someone under contract to plug a leak? Ding-ding-ding!

Now the parents are throwing shade on the report. Might be a good time for a journo to look into any $ windfalls or maybe threats.

I spent some time in AR, where there is genuine fear of the Clinton's; Mr. Rich's untimely and suspicious demise points S/W. (imo).

#4 If Seth had already sent 43k emails and 18k attachments, what would be the point of killing him?

#6 Well, the poor bugger is never going to sending another email, and wait lovely way to send a strong message to others.

#7 the DNC probably was unaware of the extent of the leakage that had already taken place

#8 Currently there is a class action suit against the DNC seeking repayment to Sander's campaign donors. Repayment. An attorney (Shawn Lucas) who filed a fraud case against the DNC ended up dead. He also acted as a process server and served the papers on the DNC. Recently, it was reported that Fentanyl was found in his system but his close friends said they never have known him to use any drugs. Shawn Lucas death.

#9 I read that the Wiki employee Rich contacted is also dead.
Can someone confirm that story?
