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

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.

You know, for fun, they should look at THIS GUY’S whereabouts when Seth Rich was killed.

Maybe he has a valid alibi that can be confirmed. Maybe he doesn’t.

Maybe someone was getting a little too close to the truth?

Check his bank accounts and any big-ticket purchases, recently and around July, 2016.

Just sayin’......

A “serial killer” who had carried out other Arkancides on behalf of Bill and Hillary?

What exactly made the Seth Rich investigator “controversial?”

_____________

He was asking penetrating, important, and revealing questions.

At least they didn't use the phrase "conspiracy theorist" on him.

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