A prominent ally of Donald Trump suggested on Sunday that the special counsel appointed to investigate alleged links between the president’s aides and Russia should instead focus on the murder last year of a young Democratic staffer, Seth Rich, which has become the focus of conspiracy theorists.
HR McMaster refuses to say if Trump pressed Russia on election interference
In an appearance on Fox and Friends less than two days after his wife was proposed as ambassador to the Holy See, Newt Gingrich – former speaker of the House, 2012 presidential candidate and a Trump confidante – publicly endorsed the conspiracy theory that Rich was “assassinated” after giving Democratic National Committee emails to WikiLeaks.
Seth Rich bump for later....
I thought Russia was the focus of conspiracy theorists.
Link in post #3 works for me...
He said that he found evidence proving Seth Rich was communicating with JA and wikileaks crew.
“He knows as much as you and I.”
With a much larger audience to address.
It’s going to be anti-climatical if KimDotCom ends up just plugging a new book he’s writing.
The guardian link works. Perhaps the admin fixed it. Thanks.
There is also that Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Always some exceptions to every rule. Generally, to the left, attaching the word “conspiracy” to something is supposed to turn it into UFO Abductions and Little Green Men stuff.
I know. See the links I posted.
It’s a targeted hit in retribution for the DNC leaks.
“Has the Guardians of the Uk ever described the FBI investigations (at DNC prompting) into the “Russian hacked emails” as a conspiracy theory?”
Like with their friends at the Wapo, “conspiracy theories” can only originate with one side because they might injure the left. Anything against the right is fair game.
I sure ain't holdin my breath.......
Good point. If you read the story, it repeats conspiracy theory again and again.
They know just proving Seth is the leaker completely unraveles the entire Russian narrative. Next they’ll be accusing Seth of being a Russian spy.
Considering that megaupload was shut down in 2012 that was pretty forward thinking by Seth.
Can't wait to see Kim's "proof".
Until someone asked him about it, then Wheeler recanted most of his story Tuesday evening. He told CNN he had no proof that Rich was ever in contact with WikiLeaks.
Your guy has nothing and is just milking this for publicity.
Agree. But at least it’s more attention.
Trump follows hannity and even Reddit.
He needs to send some loyal troops to get to the bottom of this.
THiS has the potential to destroy the Russian conspiracy theory the Left
has pushed non stop since Hillary lost.
WaPo and NYT have non stop “sources say” without named sources.
Wheeler might have never said that to CNN and they made it up.
Wheeler’s source inside the D. C. Police may have told him to shut up.
Many possibilities.
Seth Rich has now been verified as a Bernie fan. He worked for the dnc. He was an idealist. He worked with computers and had access to strutting.
Wikileaks offered a $20,000 reward.
Trump needs to focus his best men on this.
Newt sees the political potential. The entire Special Prosecutor Russian non sense would boomerang on Democrats.
But Russia Trump is not a conspiracy...
Unfortunately, the elite of his investigative force are still in Honolulu looking for the real birth certificate.
Russia Behind Fake News about Trump Russia Collusion?
It would put a monkey wrench in his plans for a stronger America and thus play into Putin’s hand. They are behind the fake US invented AIDS story, that the moon launch was faked and that the US blew up the twin towers on 9-11. These are all stories that the left buys into heavily. Why not?

I believe every bit of that to be true. Seth Rich was murdered because he gave the emails to Wikileaks.
