Conservative Lobbyist Who Offered Reward For Info On Seth Rich Murder Violently Attacked
The Daily Caller ^ | 10:21 AM 01/18/2018 | Jack Crowe

A well-known conservative lobbyist was sprayed with a “caustic substance” by a masked attacker outside his Arlington home Tuesday, according to local police.

Jack Burkman, who made headlines again in 2016 by offering a $130,000 reward for information on the mysterious murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich, was reportedly attacked Tuesday. Local police told The Washington Post they have not yet determined the perpetrator’s identity.

Burkman told WaPo he was returning from the grocery store when a man wearing a ski mask jumped out of a black SUV, sprayed him in the face with what appeared to be pepper spray, and hit him the head before speeding away.

The Republican strategist said he thought “the end is coming” when he spotted the man approaching him, adding that the attack “seemed professional.” He had trouble pinning down who exactly might have cause to attack him.

The law of averages is not on Hillary’s side. You can only savage so many humans and one day, your luck just runs out.

Somebody really doesn’t want anyone asking “Who killed Seth Rich and why?”

Too bad the guy didn’t carry....he could have dispatched the attacker and maybe got a clue to who hired him. I’m sure the authorities will solve it in no time...

“I would bet he doesn’t live in a “shall issue” state ...”

Virginia is a shall issue state with relatively easy requirements for getting a CHP and no local preemption. Given that he has received threats for this and other things he’s said, I’m surprised he doesn’t carry.

That’s a certainty. No random citizen even knows about this issue and would not do this to the guy.

I kinda inferred he lived in the District. Is he VA?

If yes, then he likely just became a CCW advocate.

Condition Yellow dude.

WARNING: DO NOT WEAR THIS IN PUBLIC AREAS WHERE DEMOCRATS AND ANTIFA (BUT I REPEAT MYSELF!) ARE KNOWN TO BE PRESENT.  EVEN SO, A HIGH CAPACITY SIDEARM IS RECOMMENDED.

If he goes after this info, he should not be so foolish as to not know how to protect himself.

That was just a warning.
Next time it could be a knife or a bullet.
