This Is Robert Mueller’s Chance to Dismantle the Seth Rich Conspiracy Theory
Rolling Stone ^ | 7/23/19 | ANDY KROLL

Posted on 07/24/2019 6:27:52 PM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

Mueller devotes three paragraphs of his report to a particularly fraught moment in the middle of 2016 involving Seth Rich, a 27-year-old DNC staffer who was murdered in July of that year, and the website WikiLeaks. That summer, news outlets had reported that Russian agents hacked into Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and stole a massive trove of emails and other documents. Not long after, WikiLeaks published thousands of those emails, plunging the Democratic Party into chaos and leading to the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL).

As the reports emerged about Russia’s role in the DNC leak, WikiLeaks and its cofounder, Julian Assange, made several public statements that seemed designed to imply that Rich, not Russia, was behind the leak.

**SNIP**

Mueller’s brief section about Rich and WikiLeaks specifically accused Assange of “dissembling” about the source of the stolen DNC emails. It also says that Assange “implied falsely” that Rich was his source. On Wednesday, Mueller has the opportunity to translate this dry legalese into a clear, full-throated rebuke of the Rich conspiracy theorists.

Weasel Mueller apparently is unconnected with much of the event timeline and any evidential theories of various events.

He’s a Fraud and committed Fraud on the Treasury of the US over 20 months of Witch Hunt.

IMO, Mueller was a figurehead and Weisman ran the show.

There is NO evidence that Russians hacked the DNC.

If Seth Rich wasn’t the leak then Assange’s motive was to conceal Russian involvement.

If Seth Rich was the leak then the Democrat’s etc motive was to draw attention away his murder and to simply and yet again pursue a seriousness of the charges witch hunt against political foes.

You know, the DNC has a much longer and more varied history of lying and even killing when compared to Assange.

Weasel Mueller and the Evil Weissman have a long symbiotic relationship.

No quarter for Weasel Mueller on anything Weissman did.

Those servers are probably in some landfill, the hard drives long shredded.

The hard drives are pretty much everything.

The rest of the hardware is agnostic.

The Great Pumpkin didn't bring the impeachment goodies. Or any of the other toys socialists wanted.

Very evident after today’s tottering performance and the halting speech by a scared Mueller about a month ago that the man doesn’t run and probably never did run his office. Its evident that Mr. Andrew Weissman did, he picked the lawyers (all Dems, most Hillary contributors, some worked as attorneys for her and the foundation. Mueller was the figurehead, the token “Republican” who looked good to the press as an elder statesman but who in reality was really the Wizard of Oz, hiding behind a curtain of lies and deceit, going along with a get Trump strategy, protecting the Clintons and their minions, ordering the nighttime raids on families, leaking crap to the press, and doing nothing to investigate Democrats for doing the same crap he accused Trump and his associates of. Too bad he’s senile so when he came from behind the curtain Mueller was exposed for the failing, deceitful old man he really is.

The press was screaming and screeching at Trump like Halloween goblins.

Have you seen this?

IMPORTANT – Video Confirms Butowsky Lawsuit Claim: Julian Assange Told Ellen Ratner DNC Emails Received From Seth Rich – Not a Russian Hack…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/07/21/important-video-confirms-butowsky-lawsuit-claim-julian-assange-told-ellen-ratner-dnc-emails-received-from-seth-rich-not-a-russian-hack/

A brief quote - tiniest tip of the iceberg:

“If this information is true and accurate, now bolstered by the video of Ratner, the DOJ claim of a Russian hack –based on assertions by DNC contractor, Crowdstrike– would be entirely false. Additionally the DC murder of Seth Rich would hold a far more alarming motive.”

Lots more at the link, including the full Butowski court filing. Very interesting, all of it.

Yes, I know.

Humorous Aside: Frances O’Rourke ... as a former hacker is a rare commodity among elected Democrats ... one who can attempt to erase a smart phone for a coverup without using a hammer.

Wait. What? There is *still* some question as to why Seth Rich was murdered?

People, please. We’re talking about a guy who might have caused a problem for Hillary.

Off he goes.

I am looking forward to the progress of that case. Butowsky is hanging everything on Ratner’s testimony supporting his assertion about her conversation with Assange. He and his lawyers certainly know that so it seems doubtful that he’s making it up.
