The Guy Who Recreated Seth Rich's Murder Wants Robert Mueller to Get Involved in the Case

[Washingtonian] Jack Burkman popped back up Monday to tout the latest milestone in his obsessive interest in the case of Seth Rich: an ad seeking tips on the murdered Democratic National Committee staffer that Burkman says will air on cable news in the 22 largest television markets, including on Tuesday morning on Washington.

In the spot, the lawyer and lobbyist identifies himself as the leader of an "independent commission" investigating the Rich case. That’s a reference to the Profiling Project, a group of George Washington University forensic students he says he’s been funding to review Rich’s death, which has been the subject of several unfounded conspiracy theories, including one pushed by Burkman himself, which likely explains his decision to produce the ad with Russian subtitles.

Rich died early in the morning of July 10, 2016, after being shot outside his home in Northeast DC after walking home from Columbia Heights, where he had spent the evening at a bar. Rich was found with bruises on his legs and hands, and his watchband was torn, suggesting signs of a physical altercation. DC’s Metropolitan Police Department has been investigating Rich’s death as the result of an attempted armed robbery gone awry. But Burkman believes that Rich was killed by a Russian hit squad after finding out the DNC’s email servers had been hacked by the Kremlin, a narrative that exists as a kind of odd cousin to the more popular‐and equally unfounded‐conspiracy theory that Rich was the victim of a revenge killing after supposedly furnishing Wikileaks with Democratic Party emails.

#1 They keep saying unfounded, when they mean unsupported. Unfounded means no basis, Unsupported means no evidence.

#3 >supposedly furnishing Wikileaks with Democratic Party emails

There's no supposition about it at all.
He did.

#4 Burkman believes that Rich was killed by a Russian hit squad after finding out the DNC’s email servers had been hacked by the Kremlin. {An alternative view is that} Rich was the victim of a revenge killing after supposedly furnishing Wikileaks with Democratic Party emails.

I thought the Russian hack theory put forth by CrowdStrike had been discredited. The proof for the latter theory seems to be far stronger.

#6 I don't think Mueller wants to get involved in Seth Rich's murder investigation. After all, most of the people on the ~~kangaroo court~~ on his staff are Hillary supporters. Mueller's purpose is to go after Trump and to get him neutered/impeached. Mueller is yet another backstop of the shadow government to prevent Hillary, WJC, Lynch, Holder, and Obama from getting prosecuted for their crimes.
