Donna Brazile Questioned If Seth Rich’s Death Involved Russians, Or His Race
Newsweek ^ | November 8, 2017 | Max Kutner

Donna Brazile, the former interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), once thought it was possible that the Russians had been involved in the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich or that he was killed because he was white, according to her new book.

In July 2016, Rich, 27, was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., while walking home at night. The police believe the shooting was a botched robbery, but because Rich worked for the DNC, theories emerged that the killing was related to thousands of committee emails being published by WikiLeaks two weeks after his death.

In Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House, which came out on Tuesday, Brazile wrote that she had her own theories about the murder. “Only to [her friend] Elaine could I say that I felt some responsibility for Seth Rich’s death. I didn’t bring him into the DNC, but I helped keep him there working on voting rights,” she wrote. “With all I knew now about the Russians’ hacking, I could not help but wonder if they had played some part in his unsolved murder. Besides that, racial tensions were high that summer and I worried that he was murdered for being white on the wrong side of town.”

She went on to say in the book that her friend doubted the theory about his race, “and I heard her,” and that “the FBI said that they did not see any Russian fingerprints there, but they promised to look into the case.” She added, “His death continued to tear me up inside.”(continued)

This reminds me of the Hitchcock movie “Shadow of a Doubt”, where the heroine is trying very , very hard to believe that her beloved uncle isn’t the Merry Widow Murderer. By the time she figures it out, it is almost too late, as there is less than a shadow of a doubt.

The DO”J” got right onto this and investigated it [/s],
just like the murder of Judge Scalia, and the murders
of Sec. Brown, and Foster and the raped, deorganed children.

They also gave the guns to Files to murder JFK and invented
the Russian golden shower nonsense files with McCain
to take out Pres. Trump,
... but WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE MURDER OF WITNESSES.

Putin gave the order to have Seth Rich murdered—yeah, right.

My suspects number one, two, three, and four all work for Hillary and/or the Democrats. They had the means, the motive, and the opportunity.

“Anything” as in “anything to drum up interest in her “scrivening’”?

That neighborhood, gentrifying, formerly lower/middle class black,
rarely has a white guy mugged, much less killed. It’s bad for business.

The local “crews” avoid it since it really cranks up the local police district (there are 7 in DC.) The WaPo wouldn’t really report a black guy getting killed (and robbed), but the white guy would: It is very unusual.

It also scares off a lot of white customers for drugs.

Seth Rich was the Wikileak and he was plugged.

RussiaRussiaRussia is the smokescreen to cover up his murder.

“With all I knew now about the Russians’ hacking, I could not help but wonder if they had played some part in his unsolved murder. Besides that, racial tensions were high that summer and I worried that he was murdered for being white on the wrong side of town.”

Isn't this sort of contradicted by the report that Brazile feared for her own life after Rich was murdered? If he were killed because he was white, she wouldn't have much cause to fear for her own life; and I'm not sure why the Russians would care about either Seth Rich or Donna Brazile.

the raped, deorganed children.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What? This is the first I’ve heard of anything like this.

Is this a Thailand thing?

Of course. Why else would Wikileaks offer a reward for finding the killer. I think Donna is trying to point people in this direction but won’t come out and say it herself.

Russians = Clintons.

How could this woman know how perfidious the Clintons were with the whole DNC/cheating Sanders business and God knows what else, yet not even suspect they had a hand in burning Seth Rich?

I am still curious about her “helped keep him at the DNC” statement. AlbertasChild noted yesterday that Donna came to DNC after Seth Rich’s murder. So what sort of “help” was required? Who was trying to kick him out of the DNC and why (the pretend reason and the real reason)? Russians? It matters a lot, because it provides additional motive and urgency for Rich to give WikiLeaks the files.
