Newt Gingrich Spreads Debunked Story About DNC Staffer's Arkancide
[Daily Caller] Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich regurgitated a baseless claim on Sunday that former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was assassinated after giving thousands of Democratic party emails to WikiLeaks.
Who debunked it, when, and where was this infornation published? I am agnostic about the truth of this, but assertion is not proof.
Gingrich suggested police and the FBI have covered up Rich’s July 10 death in an effort to pin the DNC hack on the Russian government.

"We have this very strange story now, this young man who worked for the Democratic National Committee who apparently was assassinated at 4 in the morning, having given WikiLeaks something like 23,000 -- I’m sorry, 53,000 emails and 17,000 attachments, nobody’s investigating that," Gingrich said in an interview on "Fox & Friends."

The conspiracy theory that Rich stole DNC emails has been floating around ever since he was killed in what police say is a robbery gone wrong. But nobody has been arrested in the case, a fact which has stoked speculation that Rich, a data analyst at the DNC, had something to do with the email dump.

#1 Never believe a conspiracy is true until the MSM have said it's debunked!

#2 "It was a robbery, I tell you! A robbery!"
"What? Can't be robbery - no valuables were taken."
"Than it must be a suicide!"
"What? Two bullets in the back!"
"You are racist, sexist, and a Russian spy!"

#4 Isn't "mysogynistic covered under "sexist" (since "African-Americans" can't be racist, I'm assuming a womyn can't be sexist)?

I don't think the pre-spittle phase exists anymore. Unless you are referring to being a blastocyte.
