I'm generally familiar enough with the story to take note of it but I'm not well enough versed to argue its merits. The washington examiner is a generally conservative newspaper. So when they call the seth rich story hokem--its important to take notice. What's to notice? I would like people who are knowledgeable about the seth rich to carefully rebut the washington examiner point by point-- in a way that everyone will understand. (no flames please)

Follow George Webb on Youtube and don’t read the lazy fools of the ‘Washington Examiner’.

[BenLurkin]

Last I heard, Wikileaks is still offering a reward for finding the killer.

[a fool in paradise]

‘The only thing that has been accomplished with this latest story is that the people involved have angered a still-grieving family.’

Much as the late Mary Jo would be thanking dead red Ted Kennedy from her watery grave.

The surgical resident stated Rich would have lived,
if not murdered overnight by the Pizzagate-compromised
LEO and the DNC.

Surgical residents OBEY their attendings,
and did so in this case - shutting up and letting
them murder the witness.

==> SETH RICH WAS MURDERED like the so many,
and all have been ignored because
of the PizzaGATE-compromised LEO.

Proof will be given Tues. by Kim Dotcom.

the people involved have angered a still-grieving family.

The grieving family doesn't want to know who killed their son? That makes sense. Not.

[glasseye]

Wikileaks is offering $20,000 for information.
I trust Wikileaks more than any American newspaper.
Time will tell.

[ForYourChildren]

Well shoot ...

"CNN reported:.."

That takes care of it. Nothing to see here. CNN has spoken. Move on.

The Wash Examiner is a Never Trump rag run by the Uniparty crowd in DC .Mostly Bushbots spouting talking points .

it's not conservative by any means .

The family spokesman is not there spokesman .
He is a DNC dirty tricks operative from a Dem DC tricky tricks PR firm .
He is astroturfing for the DNC so there is more to the story .

The real parents have made a Video thanking everyone looking into there son death .

Please don't spread Dem - uniparty in here .

Nice Try at throwing water on the subject like the Uniparty wants .

Well, remember the Lewinsky family stood by Slick after he abused their daughter?

[CivilWarBrewing]

Becket Adams wouldn't know a 'hot hunk of hokum' if it was staring him right in the face..

OH WAIT..

[Nifster]

The examiner is an outlet for the DC political class....hardly a conservative paper

[Fantasywriter]

Reporters these days don't even attempt to find the truth.

"Whistle-blowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks," Assange said. "As a 27-year-old, works for the DNC, was shot in the back, murdered just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington."

When the interviewer interjected that the murder may have been a robbery, Assange pushed back.

"No," he said. "There’s no finding. So… I’m suggesting that our sources take risks."

Then there's the reward Wikileaks is offering for info that nails Rich's killer. No reason to do that unless Rich was an informant.

WikiLeaks

ANNOUNCE: WikiLeaks has decided to issue a US$20k reward for information leading to conviction for the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich.

Everyone in the establishment is eager to squelch the Seth Rich story.

Odd that the DNC won’t even offer a reward.

But apparently there is a lot more to come in the next few days.

Among other things, it would kill the “Russian” hacker meme; and also, maybe shed a flashlight on the roaches at the DNC.

The Democrats (and their Intelligence Community allies) have a clear M.O. on how to handle sensitive families (examples include the families of Vince Foster, Mary Jo Kopechne and Lee Harvey Oswald, but there are many others):

(1) Pay for a family attorney to keep everyone talking the official line.

(2) Deposit lots of cash into the relevant accounts.

(3) The stick--remind the families that what happened to the dead family member could happen to them.

(4) Have the attorney yell "grieving family is being harassed" whenever any investigators question the family.

(5) Publish articles/books attacking the "conspiracy theories" in mainstream publications quoting said family members.

They stick to these tactics because _they work_.

“[A] current FBI official and a former one completely discount the Fox News claim that an FBI analysis of a computer belonging to Rich contained thousands of e-mails to and from WikiLeaks,” the report read. “Local police in Washington, D.C., never even gave the FBI Rich’s laptop to analyze after his murder.”

Simply put, in regards to Rich’s laptop, “It never contained any e-mails related to WikiLeaks, and the FBI never had it,” a former law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the case said.

So the FBI never had the laptop, but are very certain what’s not on it.

Wikileaks have all but confirmed that Seth was the leaker. He was murdered with multiple guns shot to the back and nothing was taken which rules out robbery. This is a long term trend for people who cross the Clintons.
