Following court order, FBI uses classic Friday document dump to release heavily redacted files on the death of Seth Rich

As I wrote elsewhere today, “As a rule, people who fight public disclosure tend to have something to hide.” I should add that when they conceal material even after being forced by a court order to disclose it, there’s even more reason to believe that there is something they are hiding.

The July 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich has drawn our attention for years, and been the subject of litigation and efforts to suppress inquiry. But finally, after denying it had anything on the case, the FBI has been compelled via an FOIA lawsuit to disclose its records, and did release some in a Friday document dump, after heavily redacting them. But what little did make it through, given the concealment via redaction, still raises more questions.

Zachary Stieber reports for the Epoch Times:

The FBI has produced 68 pages relating to a Democrat National Committee (DNC) worker who was shot dead in 2016 in Washington, including an investigative summary that appears to suggest someone could have paid for his death.
Seth Rich, the worker, was shot dead in the early morning hours on July 16, 2016, near his home in the nation’s capital.
The murder, which is unsolved to this day, fueled widespread media coverage, especially after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange suggested that Rich was the person who provided internal DNC emails to WikiLeaks. Rich’s family has called the notion that Rich leaked documents to WikiLeaks a conspiracy theory.

Recall that the allegation that Russia hacked the DNC files was part of the Russiagate conspiracy theory pushed by the DNC, the Hillary campaign, and their hired minions, along with FBI rogues like Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe.

You can review the documents yourself here. The very first thing that struck me was:

Just a few weeks after the crime, Strzok was contacting his adulterous lover about something (what?) that he “squashed.”

Why, that's not suspicious at all.

Then there is the matter of Rich’s laptop:

A person whose name was redacted took Rich’s personal laptop to his house, according to one of the newly released documents. The page also indicates that authorities were not aware if the person deleted or changed anything on Rich’s personal laptop.
The FBI came into possession of Rich’s work laptop, the bureau previously revealed.
On another page, it was said that “given [redacted] it is conceivable that an individual or group would want to pay for his death.”

I said at the time and I’ll say again Seth Rich is the Rosetta Stone of the Russia matter

Bernie who has been the center of a lot of nonsense ; is it the center of this murder as well

Let’s never forget HODKISON. and his psychotic sophisticated armed insurrection against Republican baseball players. A HUGE BERNIE GUY

Bernie clearly would have won D. Primary. in 16. And this round.

Biden and Harris we’re 1%. That’s HOW MUCH OF A STEAL they had to pull off

The more you see it. More of us BELIEVE. this really is a white hat sting operation

If the FBI waits till documents required by the court are due (in this case, the ones they previously claimed didn’t exist). then arrogantly claims they can only process a limited number of documents per month (without informing the court of that restriction at or within days of the time the date was set for their delivery) then the judge should order all the unredacted documents delivered to him forthwith, FBI representatives and attorneys to remain under direct court supervision till documents are delivered and verified as complete. No excuses.

Or, that national political figures are involved, and the FBI is still every bit as crooked and wedded to protecting Democrats as they’ve proved at Dallas in 1963, the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, at Chappaquiddick and in Bill Clinton’s part in cocaine smuggling operations out of the Mena Arkansas airfield, and his sex and cocaine parties, and at covering up the murder of Vince Foster who was dumped in Fort Marcy Park, and during Obama’s campaign and subsequent criminal enterprise masquerading as an Administration, and in Benghazi and ever so many times blocking Hillary from being indicted, and Joe Biden’s shakedown of Ukraine and Hunter’s dirty dealing.
No, the FBI is still every bit as corrupt as it ever was, which is more than enough to make a pack of hyenas puke.

‘then the judge should order all the unredacted documents delivered to him forthwith’

I believe you have forgotten that we have a TWO TIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM...have had for years...the deep state is practically the entire Fed Gov, at the least anyone with any significant rank “lifers”...additionally the entire Judicial System is totally corrupted like a cabal / mafia lead by the dirtiest one of them all - we all know who! No judge in the land anywhere would give a single person / citizen ‘standing’ to look at any of the evidence of the biggest steal, fraud and stolen election ever in the USA and it too many members within the Fed Govt to pull it off - WE THE PEOPLE, TRUMP and others now know for sure that our president is SELECTED - and not ELECTED by the PEOPLE! TRUMP wasn’t the first and many of our elections go down the same way! THIS IS JUST A GAME TO THE BIG BOYS pulling all the strings! And our so called GOVT is in on it with big media, MSM, and now BIG TECH!
