It would be a stunner if Assange would publically acknowledged that Seth Rich was feeding him information. It would confirm that it was a political hit job.
But I understand Assange’s reluctance to jeopardize his sources so he never releases anyone’s names. It would be a heck of a revelation though.
I don’t think revealing a source who is deceased in any way compromises the rest of his sources. If it is revealed that Seth Rich was giving him information and was killed, it will shine the light of truth on the democrats. This may serve to offer a small amount of protection to the other sources should their identity slip out.
Protecting the dems, if Rich was a source, is counter-productive to the whole Wikileaks mission.
