The Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom claimed on Tuesday that he has firsthand knowledge that murdered Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich was involved in the leak of emails.
Dotcom, whose birth name is Kim Schmitz, posted a statement to his website claiming, “I know that Setch [sic] Rich was involved in the DNC leak.” He went on to write that in 2014, a person using the pseudonym “Panda” contacted him about starting a U.S. branch of the Internet Party. “I now know that Panda was Seth Rich,” Dotcom wrote.
Rich’s family has maintained that there is no proof connecting his death to the DNC leak. “The Rich family is tired of having to respond to accusations,” Brad Bauman, a family spokesman, said in a statement. “The burden of proof is on Mr. Dotcom to either prove he has evidence or face the consequences of damaging Seth’s good name and creating more emotional hardship on a grieving family. The family is not going to entertain his ridiculous, manipulative and completely non-credible statements.”
On Tuesday, Dotcom said that “Panda” told him he was working on voter analytics tools, which Rich is known to have done for the DNC, and that they discussed “topics including corruption and the influence of corporate money in politics.”
Dotcom said he has been in touch with Rich’s family and that he has consulted with his lawyers. “I accept that my full statement should be provided to the authorities and I am prepared to do that so that there can be a full investigation.” He said he is willing to provide evidence to the U.S. if Robert Mueller, the special counsel overseeing the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election, grants him safe passage to and from New Zealand.

How can they know these things?
I think they’ve been offered a substantial sum of money, with a large bonus if the investigation is made to go away.
The “family” now speaks through a DNC spokesman.
Jonathan Rich, Seth’s cousin, posted on social media that Seth was targeted for murder.
One of the things the “robbers” left behind was a gold chain Seth wore. Good indication the murder was not a D. C. local...
Haniity ain’t gonna let this go, even if the rest of Fox News wants to stop it... :)

DC Insiders are trying to get Hannity fired.
Hannity said on the radio today that people that used to be his friends don’t want him on the air anymore.
Fox Insiders are gunning for him, too.
Hannity said, if he’s Fired, he’ll find a way to communicate on Seth Rich.

They doth protest too much?
These remarks are inconsistent with those of their own private investigator, who stated the murder was directly related to the victim’s employment.
Someone (Brazille?) is getting to them.
via source Newsweek? Questions credibility? Irony abounds
The family spokesman was hired by the DNC and his tweets are sounding more desperate by the day.

"Please 'Massa, please don't Vince Foster me."
And new reports are that DNC acting head Donna Brazille herself contacted the police to stop a private investigator from doing his job.
Hannity can permanently guest host on Mark Levin!
The Democrats always overplay their hand. A tastefully worded statement or two would be understandable. The increasingly hostile, aggressive tenor of these statements is bound to backfire. It looks even to the casual observer as if the family doesn’t want the murderer found—a classic tin-ear Democrat blunder.
Podesta was out trashing Newt today at WaPo with Karen Tumulty, feels like the mid 90’s all over again!
Mary Jo was unavailable for comment
I suspect the family is paid off, extremely-scared or both.
Assange has all but confirmed it was Seth Rich. His hashtag was no small admission.
So, their son's attempt to uncover corruption in the DNC would damage his reputation?
Donna Brazille for obstruction of justice!
