New info: DNC emails were not stolen by the Russians?

Posted on by

But instead, by insiders at the DNC.

Including, possibly, Seth Rich.

And apparently the DNC is beside itself today.

From GatewayPundit.com:

Breaking: ‘Complete Panic’ at Highest Levels of DNC Over Kim DotCom’s Seth Rich Announcement

Saturday, an anonymous person who works in Washington DC, alleged on 4Chan’s /pol/ subgroup that high-ranking current and former Democratic Party officials are terrified of the Seth Rich murder investigation.

Is it because Seth Rich, murdered in DC on July 11th of 2016, was possibly involved? DC police concluded the killing was due to a failed robbery though apparently no property was taken from the completely unarmed Rich, who was shot in the back twice.

This comes after internet entrepreneur and hacker, Kim DotCom, admitted on Saturday that he was part of an operation along with Seth Rich to get stolen DNC emails to Wikileaks.

Wait. Didn’t Julian Assange tell us, last year, that the Russians were not involved in bringing the hacked emails to Wikileaks? From the January 3rd, 2017 DailyUKMail.com:

Assange says he is ‘1,000% confident’ that Russia was NOT the source for hacked Democratic emails which were published by WikiLeaks

by Thomas Burrows

  • Julian Assange claimed Barack Obama is ‘trying to delegitimize Donald Trump’
  • Reiterated his claims Russia was not behind hacks during presidential election
  • Emails stolen from DNC and Clinton’s campaign chairman were published online
  • But Assange said ‘source is not Russian government and it is not a state party’ 

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said Barack Obama is ‘trying to delegitimize the Trump administration’ by claiming the Russian government hacked Democrats’ emails during the bitter presidential election.

Assange, whose interview with Sean Hannity will air on Fox News tonight, also reiterated his claims that Russia was not the source of the hacks.

He told Hannity ‘with a thousand per cent’ confidence that the Russian government was not responsible for emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman.

Private investigator Rod Wheeler, a former DC Homicide detective himself, revealed last week that evidence suggests Seth Rich had contact with Wikileaks prior to his murder, to the tune of 44,000 emails.

With that in mind, these two points.

The anonymous post released Saturday reads:

“Anons, I work in D.C.

I know for certain that the Seth Rich case has scared the shit out of certain high ranking current and former Democratic Party officials.

This is the reason why they have backed away from impeachment talk. They know the smoking gun is out there, and they’re terrified you will find it, because when you do it will bring the entire DNC, along with a couple of very big name politicians.

It appears that certain DNC thugs were not thorough enough when it came time to cover their tracks. Podesta saying he wanted to “make an example of the leaker” is a huge smoking gun.”

Backed away from impeachment talk? Yes, there is some evidence of that. Then this post as well.

“The behavior is near open panic. To even mention this name in D.C. Circles [sic] will bring you under automatic scrutiny. To even admit that you have knowledge of this story puts you in immediate danger.

If there was no smoke there would be no fire. I have never, in my 20 years of working in D.C. Seen [sic] such a panicked reaction from anyone.

I have strong reason to believe that the smoking gun in this case is out o [sic] the hands of the conspirators, and will be discovered by anon. I know for certain that Podesta is deeply concerned. He’s been receiving anonymous calls and emails from people saying they know the truth. Same with Hillary.”

You decide for yourself. But I’m not ignoring the story.

Is there a “there” there?

Kim Dotcom Offers Congress Evidence to Prove Seth Rich Was WikiLeaks Source

by Cassandra Fairbanks

Megaupload founder and friend of Julian Assange has offered to provide Congress with written testimony and proof that murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was WikiLeaks’ source — if they will include his murder in their Russia investigation.

Kim Dotcom has also now claimed that he was involved in the leak — and that he personally knew Rich.

“Curiouser and curiouser,” it is.

“If Congress includes #SethRich case into their Russia probe I’ll give written testimony with evidence that Seth Rich was @Wikileaks source,” Dotcom tweeted on Friday.

Dotcom also accused the DNC of withholding their servers from the FBI because “Seth Rich ain’t Russia!”

Even more curious is this.

In a bizarre and aggressive statement following Wheeler’s report, Brad Bauman, the spokesman for the Rich family, who just so happens to be a Democratic Party crisis PR consultant, claims that even if an email [to WikiLeaks] was found, it would not be evidence of foul play.

Right. Because Rich sending DNC emails to Wikileaks would, overall, tend to greatly please the DNC and Demorats of all stripes. What. The. Hell.

“Even if tomorrow, an email was found, it is not a high enough bar of evidence to prove any interactions as emails can be altered and we’ve seen that those interested in pushing conspiracies will stop at nothing to do so,” Bauman said in a statement.

Seven words for the Rich family: let’s just see how this plays out. My guess is that you are Demorats and you don’t wish this to be true in any fashion whatsoever. Understandable. I Grok your wishes. But they may be wrong.

Police Never Asked For Surveillance Video From Bar Seth Rich Was Last Spotted Hours Before His Murder

by Cristina Laila

On July 8, 2016, 27 year-old Democratic staffer Seth Conrad Rich was murdered in Washington DC. The killer or killers took nothing from their victim, leaving behind his wallet, watch and phone.

TGP recently reported that according to Public Incident Report CCN #16113797 dated July 10, 2016 by the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, former DNC employee and the leaker of emails to WikiLeaks, Seth Rich was alive when the police found him on that date. He died later that morning.  The report also notes that Rich was conscious and breathing with gunshot wounds to his back when the police found him. The report also notes that at least three of the police at the scene wore body cameras that night.

FOIA request for the cam footage. Except:

The video from the body cameras has gone missing.

Curious, eh wot?

A manager of the Washington, D.C., bar where Democratic National Committee worker Seth Rich was last spotted hours before he was shot and killed last summer told WND that D.C. police officers never interviewed the bar’s staff or requested any evidence from the bar, including the bar’s surveillance video from that night, as part of an investigation into Rich’s murder.

The revelation backs up a claim made by a private investigator who worked on the case who said D.C. police were told to “stand down” on the investigation.

Why wouldn’t police investigate the last public place Seth Rich was seen before he was murdered? Surveillance footage could give a lot of clues such as was Seth Rich followed out of the bar? Was he in a heated exchange with anyone there? Was he on his phone? Was he wearing the same clothes he was later found in?

Those are all logical questions that any competent homicide detective would be asking. Of note for this post in terms of future revelations:

On Thursday, Dotcom provided a list of surveillance cameras that were near the Rich crime scene, which should have been able to offer at least a rough glance at the perpetrator.

If more is unearthed and the murder of Seth Rich somehow points back to the DNC or the Demorats?

Oh my.

Did Seth Rich contact Wikileaks before his death?

Posted on by

And if so, because he was a DNC staffer, does this have anything whatsoever to do with Rich’s July 11th, 2016 shooting death?

Was Seth Rich actually home as the family says, inside the apartment, or was he outside? Where was he shot?

This rather startling story, from Fox5DC.com:

Family’s private investigator: There is evidence Seth Rich had contact with WikiLeaks prior to death

by Marina Maracco

WASHINGTON – It has been almost a year since Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was murdered in the nation’s capital. There have been no solid answers about why he was killed until now.

Rich was shot and killed last July in Northwest D.C and police have suggested the killing in the District’s Bloomingdale neighborhood was a botched robbery. However, online conspiracy theories have tied the murder to Rich’s work at the DNC.

Certainly, DC has its share of crime — not nearly like that of Chicago, however. Still and all, the timing was what many would term suspicious, though the DC Metro Police concluded that Rich was involved in a robbery that took his life.

Just two months shy of the one-year anniversary of Rich’s death, FOX 5 has learned there is new information that could prove these theorists right.

Is there a “there” there?

Rod Wheeler, a private investigator hired by the Rich family, suggests there is tangible evidence on Rich’s laptop that confirms he was communicating with WikiLeaks prior to his death.

Now, questions have been raised on why D.C. police, the lead agency on this murder investigation for the past ten months, have insisted this was a robbery gone bad when there appears to be no evidence to suggest that.

Not having the investigatory report in my hands I cannot personally draw that conclusion. However, I do know that DC Metro does not have the most sterling reputation for immutable investigations on the east coast, as witness the rather shabby handling of the Charnice Milton case, daughter of my fellow broadcaster Ken McClenton, following her murder in 2015.

Wheeler, a former D.C. police homicide detective, is running a parallel investigation into Rich’s murder. Wheeler said he believes there is a cover-up and the police department has been told to back down from the investigation.

“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.”

There is one way to find out. Access the laptop.

When we asked Wheeler if his sources have told him there is information that links Rich to Wikileaks, he said, “Absolutely. Yeah. That’s confirmed.”

Is that the reason neither agency will confirm or deny possession of the laptop and, further, will not release it? Moreover, just how does Wheeler know anything about the allegation of the involvement of Wikileaks?

Wheeler also told us, “I have a source inside the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Rod, we were told to stand down on this case and I can’t share any information with you.’ Now, that is highly unusual for a murder investigation, especially from a police department. Again, I don’t think it comes from the chief’s office, but I do believe there is a correlation between the mayor’s office and the DNC and that is the information that will come out [Tuesday].

Will something breaking occur on Tuesday?

Apparently something did. This from the WashingtonExaminer.com:

Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich had sent 44,000 internal emails to WikiLeaks: Report

by Kyle Feldscher

The Democratic National Committee staffer shot and killed in Washington, D.C., last summer leaked more than 44,000 emails to WikiLeaks before his death, according to a report.

The Fox News report implies that Seth Rich may have been the one who leaked information about the DNC to WikiLeaks that showed, among other things, that the DNC favored Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the presidential primary. While it’s not clear, the report does note that WikiLeaks posted that information just 12 days after Rich was killed.

However, U.S. intelligence officials believe Russia hacked into the DNC and allowed that information to be sent to WikiLeaks.

The report states federal law enforcement investigators found 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments between DNC leaders from January 2015 to May 2016 were sent by Rich to Gavin MacFayden, an American reporter and WikiLeaks director based in London who is now deceased. That information was found in a FBI forensic report on Rich’s computer done within days of his murder.

If any of this is true, that a person was murdered for leaking information, DC will be torn apart.

P.S.

57 minutes after this revelation, the Washington Post reveals leaked information about classified information. Co-inky-dink? Wag the WaPo?
