Former Marine Charged In Shooting, Hit-And-Run Of Controversial Seth Rich Investigator
The Daily Caller ^ | Chuck Ross

Posted on 03/21/2018 10:16:59 AM PDT by Enlightened1

A former Marine, who claims to have worked as a special agent with the Department of Energy, has been charged with shooting and running over Republican lobbyist Jack Burkman, who conducted a controversial investigation of former DNC staffer Seth Rich’s murder.

Kevin Doherty, 46, was charged Monday with Use of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony and two counts of Malicious Wounding, according to a press release from the Arlington, Va, Co. police department.

The Washington Post provided more details about the attack, which was the second to befall Burkman over the past several months. An unidentified assailant attacked Burkman with pepper spray at his home in January.

Burkman was shot and run over March 13 at a Rosslyn Marriott hotel’s parking garage. Burkman was there to retrieve what he thought were documents from an FBI whistleblower.

Doherty worked for Burkman on the Rich investigation until July 2017. Rich, a data analyst at the DNC, was murdered in Washington, D.C., on July 10, 2016, under mysterious circumstances. Doherty was an investigator on Burkman’s Profiling Project, the group he formed to solve the Rich case.

Rich’s death was initially described as a robbery gone wrong, but conspiracy theorists speculated he was killed due to involvement in stealing DNC emails eventually released through WikiLeaks. There is no evidence Rich was involved in handling DNC emails.

Burkman began working pro bono for Rich’s family in late 2016. He has come under heavy criticism for circulating unfounded theories about Rich’s death, including the Russian government was behind the killing. Burkman later claimed evidence suggested a serial killer murdered Rich.

Rich’s family members have since distanced themselves from Burkman.

Burkman fired Doherty and sent him a cease and desist letter, he told The Post.

Deep State thugs are willing to murder - - or at minimum pay losers to kill for them...

Our Deep State goons and thugs are no different - and probably worse than anything Russia had to offer.

[Except for Julian Assange offering a reward for information on Rich’s murder.]

Yep, and rather quickly, too - as I recall.

DNC? Crickets - because they already knew. /coughJohnPodestaEmailcough

Donna Brazile was certainly deeply rattled by Rich’s murder.

Except she claims she thought it was “the Russians”.

I don’t trust much outta her mouth.

I think we all know, if she WAS rattled, it was because she knows how ruthless the Clinton gang and their operatives are.

Not that it would be anything you didn’t already know. :)

These deaths just keep coming like ripples on a pond. I’m not sure anyone will ever know the number of souls Hillary has had snuffed out.

Clearly, Julian was beside himself when Seth was killed. He needn’t feel responsible but i can understand how one would.

who conducted a controversial investigation of former DNC staffer Seth Rich’s murder.

"Controversial" because ANY investigation into Seth Rich's murder is considered verbotten by the MSM, the DNC criminals, and the Deep State.


By the way, did you all know that Seth Rich survived the initial shooting? He died 2 hours later, at the hospital. I am betting that MS-13 botched the "job", and they had to send in a CIA clown to complete the hit.

Key Points

Seth Rich's face was bruised, suggesting a struggle took place

Nothing was stolen in the incident

Seth was shot twice in the back

Seth was in a lot of pain but did not realize he was shot

Seth lived for almost 2 hours after being shot

He was conscious and speaking with 'people' (police/EMTs) after the shooting

Seth did not die at the crime scene, he died at the hospital

The police officers were 'surprised' he didn't make it

A convenience store across the street partially captured the attack on video

The Seth Rich murder is making a lot of people extremely nervous and desperate. If Sessions was worth anything as an AG, he would be going after this with a vengeance. Unsealing records would uncover a great deal. It would be hitting the hornets nest, for all the people connected to this. Exposing how the clintons/obama/dnc operates.

Marines will tell you there are no “former” Marines but this guy has given up the honor of being called a Marine.

That was the point...I know how they feel about that, and I am inclined to side with them!

No wonder many are nervous......I’m in the UK and can smell the stench from here.

Hopefully it will get exposed in time for the Nov Elections.
