Murdered DNC Staffer Seth Rich Was In Contact With Wikileaks Says Former DC Homicide Detective

Submitted by ZeroPointNow

It’s been close to a year since Seth Rich, the 27 year old computer expert who worked for the DNC, was murdered – shot twice in the back without anything of value taken from him.  Rich was found alive and in shock before he bled out – his death ruled nothing more than a botched robbery.

Many believe Rich was a victim retaliation for being the source who provided Wikileaks with a trove of DNC emails. Rumors were fueled by the odd circumstances surrounding his death, the sudden retirement of D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier five weeks after the murder, and an email John Podesta sent to Hillary’s inner circle about making an example of a suspected leaker.

In the aftermath of the shooting, the Rich family hired a private investigator – Rich Wheeler, a former D.C. homicide detective who says evidence on Seth Rich’s laptop suggests he was in contact with WikiLeaks prior to his death. Of note, Wheeler does not have possession of the laptop in question – however he said specific information will be released on Tuesday (5/16).

Furthermore, Wheeler believes there has been a cover-up:

“The police department nor the FBI have been forthcoming,” said Wheeler. “They haven’t been cooperating at all. I believe that the answer to solving his death lies on that computer, which I believe is either at the police department or either at the FBI. I have been told both.”

When we asked Wheeler if his sources have told him there is information that links Rich to Wikileaks, he said, “Absolutely. Yeah. That’s confirmed.”

“I have a source inside the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Rod, we were told to stand down on this case and I can’t share any information with you.’ Fox5

So a former D.C. homicide detective, hired by the Rich family, claims he was told directly by a source within D.C. police that they were told to stand down.

It also casts doubt on the Russian hacking narrative…

Furthermore, Wheeler said there’s more to come:

I don’t think it comes from the chief’s office, but I do believe there is a correlation between the mayor’s office and the DNC and that is the information that will come out [Tuesday].

Assange

Let’s not forget Julian Assange heavily implied that Seth Rich was a source, and Wikileaks offered a $130,000 reward for information leading to the murderer:

Tying together with Dr. Pie’s narrative

Right before the election Dr. Steve Pieczenik – ex deputy Sec. of State under Kissinger – told the world that the Wikileaks releases were part of a ‘counter-coup’ in which elements within the US Intelligence community decided Hillary Clinton and the globalist interests she represented couldn’t be allowed to reach the Oval Office. In response, US citizens – not Russia, gave the DNC / Podesta / Hillary emails to Wikileaks for a timed release schedule during the 2016 Presidential race.

  

How Wikileaks changed the course of history

When the Wikileaks were released, there was no table of contents or any other guide. Instead, these were raw – DKIM verified emails, which would take nothing short of a massive crowd-sourced effort to process and decipher. Within days however, dots were rapidly being connected across various message boards – mostly 4chan and Reddit’s “The_Donald”. New discoveries reached massive audiences through digital megaphones provided by social media giants Twitter and Facebook, and eventually made it into the mainstream.

The results of the online efforts were staggering, as the world witnessed revelations of “Pay for Play” by Clinton Foundation donors who funded ISIS, the DNC cheating against Bernie Sanders, MSM collusion with the Clinton campaign, Hillary’s dreams of open borders, “unaware and compliant” citizens, #SpiritCooking, Wet Works, and evidence of Aliens and Zero Point Energy – (either that or a completely insane Edgar Mitchell (15052)).

Back to detective Wheeler and Seth Rich

If Seth Rich was in fact one of Wikileaks’ sources, it’s far less of a stretch to conclude that he was murdered. Moreover, what’s left of the Russian hacking narrative is now – in my opinion, moot. More to come Tuesday, when this could get even more interesting.

My wife came down this morning, all up in arms about Trump after NPR’s wall-to-wall coverage of his supposed sharing of top secret information. I asked her what she thought about the Seth Rich story, and she had no idea who he was. Total blackout on NPR.

I listen to it sometimes on the road, if I can’t find anything else. It’s pure comedy gold. What’s been most amazing about them lately is how pro war they’ve become. In 9 years or so, they’ve completely flipped around several times. The type of mental gymnastics they engage in to justify why we need to invade more places and kill more people is hilarious.

Yep, and I don’t recall NPR covering it when Leon Panetta who was the Defense Secretary at the time outed the Pakistani doctor, Shakil Afridi, who helped locate OBL. Shortly after, Afridi was imprisoned on fabricated charges.

Or how about when Joe “the gaffer” Biden publicly revealed that SEAL Team 6 took out OBL? I don’t think so. Some moths later, the Taliban shot down a Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan, killing 30 soldiers. Among the dead: 15 members of SEAL Team 6.

Maybe when Oblahblah claimed credit for the Stuxnet virus, exposing Israeli intelligence… nope.

What about when the zero ordered the U.S. intelligence community to share information with the Cuban regime? Didn’t think so.

NPR, our tax dollars at work with no bias.

Though they weren’t innocent,here is an example of where we “murdered” people we should have left alone.
In Syria,some of the Syrian Kurds helping us,along with embedded special forces,gave free passage to a number of ISIS fighters in return for surrendering and not destroying a dam in the Euphrates and killing civilians in the town in which they were trapped.
Guess what CentCom did?Yep,they tracked them and killed them after they were out of town.
What happens next time a group of hostiles is offered terms of surrender?

If Seth’s PC is in the hands of the FBI, it will either be ‘cleansed’ or go missing.

If S. Rich’s computer files prove that he communicated with Wiki, then NSA also obtained that info. What would NSA do?, why tell the CIA and FBI – one of our terrorist, er intelligence agencies would then take care of Seth.

Seth Rich is probably a named recognized by 0.01% of the country. I wish I thought the number was higher, but I have little faith in my fellow countrymen to think on their own. Most are content to watch the wizard’s show and never even consider looking behind the curtain.

It is a polite way of saying JEW/NWO/NEO-CON without being “anti-semitic”

No, it was the North Koreans! At least it seems we are already setting the case to blame them on the WannaCry bitcoin ransomware situation!
Building the public case. Do people not realize that the U.S., China and Russia will work together to ensure that Russia and China will get that natural gas pipeline ran through the Koreas?!
North Korea is the last holdout of the Rothschild (Red Shield) Fractional Reserve Central Banking Cartel! Once Kim Jong Un has been removed, the world is “supposed” to come together and unite against “terrorism”; this includes Russia, China and the U.S.
Anyone who doesn’t want to hold hands and sing “Kumbaya” will most certainly be labeled and demonized as a “nationalist”, radical, or terrorist!

According to the George Webb youtube series The Awan Brothers Saga….George Webb suggests that now that Comey is gone the D.C. police or someone else in the FBI might actually continue the investigation into the Huma and Weiner laptop info that they had confiscated!

If this is the case, bombshells should be falling in the news SOON!

The Clinton bodies just keep piling up while the scum of the earth Bill and Hillary go free. Hanging is too good for this crime family and their co-conspirators in the DNC and elsewhere. Time to bring back the tried and true method of punishment called quartering in the public square; all we need is four highly motivated draft horses and let the dismemberment begin. And after Bill and Hillary receive true justice, then move on to Congress, the CIA and FBI, Supreme Court, MSM, State Department, Pentagon, Wall Street and the Federal Reserve…and that is just for starters.

Many rumors about if Rich was shot or drugged.
He died in the hospital after shaking the drug off
perhaps 2 hours after sitting up and talking/feeling
better. Video cameras everywhere, except when a
capitol crime takes place. Then…ta da, cameras were
not running at the time, or are removed.

Shite, everything we are told is some kind of shite.
