Seth Rich and Julian Assange traded emails prior to Clinton data release. No Russians involved
grayseconomy.com ^ | 4/22/2019 | Michael Gray

Revelations came out on Good Friday that the NSA has 32 pages of communications between Julian Assange and Seth Rich, the former Democratic National Committee employee who was murder in Washington DC.

In what authorities call a robbery Rich was shot and killed on July 10, 2016, at 4:20 am. However his wallet, phone and other personal items were all still in his possession.

While Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report continues with the narrative that the Clinton emails were hacked by the Russians and given to Assange’s Wikileaks, this revelation of previous contact between the two suggests there was no intermediary.

It’s very easy to explain why Mueller held fast to the Russian hack narrative. If Russia didn’t provide the Clinton emails, then how could there be collusion between them and the Trump campaign?

And yet the Assange indictment that the US is using to extradite Assange back to the US has nothing to do with the publishing of the Clinton emails. The one charge stems back to aiding then-Bradley Manning to access a computer password.

In a Freedom of Information request the NSA said they have these classified files of correspondence between Assange and Rich, but cannot release them due to sensitive information contained in the conversations. Assange has never publicly stated how he received the emails.

This release of information by the NSA is the first evidence to prove that Assange and Rich knew each other and had a running dialog.

I wonder if the DNC still sends “lawyers” to the Rich family to rev back up their PTSD so they stay quiet and hunkered down

NSA just like that gave-up evidence showing Seth Rich communicated with Assange?

I suspect this is FAKE NEWS until proven elsewhere.

Should be enough to open an investigation. This should lead to investigating the cover up.

The NSA informed Clevenger in a letter dated 4 October 2018 that:
Your request has been processed under the provisions of the FOIA. Fifteen documents (32 pages) responsive to your request have been reviewed by this Agency as required by the FOIA and have found to be currently and properly classified in accordance with Executive Order 13526. These documents meet the criteria for classification as set forth in Subparagraph © of Section 1.4 and remains classified TOP SECRET and SECRET.

https://theintercept.com/2017/11/07/dnc-hack-trump-cia-director-william-binney-nsa/

In an interview with The Intercept, Binney said Pompeo told him that President Donald Trump had urged the CIA director to meet with Binney to discuss his assessment that the DNC data theft was an inside job. During their hour-long meeting at CIA headquarters, Pompeo said Trump told him that if Pompeo “want[ed] to know the facts, he should talk to me,” Binney said.

A senior intelligence source confirmed that Pompeo met with Binney to discuss his analysis, and that the CIA director held the meeting at Trump’s urging. The Intercept’s account of the meeting is based on interviews with Binney, the senior intelligence source, a colleague who accompanied Binney to CIA headquarters, and others who Binney told about the meeting. A CIA spokesperson declined to comment. “As a general matter, we do not comment on the Director’s schedule,” said Dean Boyd, director of the CIA’s Office of Public Affairs.

Yeah, I’m extremely dubious the NSA responds to FOIA requests with details of surveillance on foreign targets that are actively being pursued for prosecution.

From my understanding, based on an earlier article, NSA doesn’t say they have 32 pages of conversations... A FOIA request was sent for anything referencing both Seth and Assange together... NSA replied that they had 32 pages that met the terms of the search, and that they couldn’t release because they were classified. People reading this have taken it to the next step, assuming that if there are 32 pages referencing the two, and that they are classified, that there is therefor something worth concealing.

This does seem like a back-handed confirmation from NSA, confirming it while officially admitting nothing.

The NSA will provide what they want to provide or what they are told to provide

> “Assange has never publicly stated how he received the emails.”

Assange has stated publicly that the Russians were not the source

The government seems to keep a lot of information from the public — through redactions or just outright withholding.

And the standard view is that we must protect national security. “Methods” and “Sources” cannot be revealed because it would harm future efforts and could cost lives.

No one wants anyone to be put in danger. But the business of “methods” seems specious to me. The NSA and CIA and FBI apparently “know things” but they cannot seem to act on this knowledge because it would endanger government efforts. Well, why bother to know this stuff?

If the NSA has copies of everyone’s data transmission — and knows everything there is to know about Seth Rich — then this information should be acted upon. To do nothing because it would “reveal our capabilities” is ridiculous. We are in the middle of a coup attempt. Now is when you use all your tools. Now is when you throw caution to the wind and get the bad guys through any means at your disposal. If now is not the time, then we should close the NSA and CIA because we don’t actually seem to make use of their services. Why pay for what we will not use?

In this deep state civil war, the NSA are the good guys.
