More cover-up questions

The curious murder of Seth Rich poses questions that just won’t stay under the official rug

With the clearly unethical and most likely criminal behavior of the upper management levels of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) exposed by Chairman Devin Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee, there are two complementary areas that have been conveniently swept under the rug.

The first deals with the murder of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich, and the second deals with the alleged hacking of the DNC server by Russia. Both should be of prime interest to special counsel Robert Mueller, but do not hold your breath.

The facts that we know of in the murder of the DNC staffer, Seth Rich, was that he was gunned down blocks from his home on July 10, 2016. Washington Metro police detectives claim that Mr. Rich was a robbery victim, which is strange since after being shot twice in the back, he was still wearing a $2,000 gold necklace and watch. He still had his wallet, key and phone. Clearly, he was not a victim of robbery.

This has all the earmarks of a targeted hit job. However, strangely no one has been charged with this horrific crime, and what is more intriguing is that no law enforcement agency is even investigating this murder. According to other open sources, Metro police were told by their “higher ups” that if they spoke about the case, they will be immediately terminated. It has been claimed that this order came down from very high up the “food chain,” well beyond the D.C. mayor’s office. Interesting.

One more unexplained twist is that on July 10, 2016, the same day Seth Rich was murdered, an FBI agent’s car was burglarized in the same vicinity. Included in the FBI equipment stolen was a 40 caliber Glock 22. D.C. Metro police issued a press release, declaring that the theft of the FBI agent’s car occurred between 5 and 7 a.m. Two weeks later, the FBI changed the time of the theft to between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. Was the FBI gun used to shoot Seth Rich? Neither the FBI nor the Metro police will discuss.

Another aspect that needs to be uncovered is the FBI’s “denial” that its cyber experts who share space with the D.C. Metro police department at Cleveland Avenue in the District, assisted in accessing data on Mr. Rich’s laptop. Not likely. Data on the laptop revealed that Mr. Rich downloaded thousands of DNC emails and was in touch with Wikileaks. The file with evidence of what was on Mr. Rich’s laptop sits with the FBI in a co-shared space with the D.C. police department. According to Ed Butowsky, an acquaintance of the family, in his discussions with Joel and Mary Rich, they confirmed that their son transmitted the DNC emails to Wikileaks.

Since then, the DNC hired a “spokesperson,” Brad Burman, a known hatchet man to basically cut off any further communications with Mr. Rich’s parents. Interestingly, it is well known in the intelligence circles that Seth Rich and his brother, Aaron Rich, downloaded the DNC emails and was paid by Wikileaks for that information.

While Wikileaks doesn’t expose sources, Julian Assange gave a clear clue during an Aug. 9, 2016 interview on Dutch television when he implied that Mr. Rich was killed because he was the Wikileaks source of the DNC emails. Mr. Assange offered a $20,000 reward leading to the arrest of Mr. Rich’s killers. Also, why hasn’t Aaron Rich been interviewed, and where is he?

With regard to the alleged Russian hacking of the DNC server, Mr. Assange also offered information to the Trump administration to prove Russia didn’t hack the DNC server, as the DNC claimed. Mr. Assange also met with Orange Country Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California Republican, and gave him information to present to the Trump administration to prove no one hacked the DNC server.

However, with the Obama holdovers in key positions, it is not surprising that no one from the Trump administration would meet with the congressman or Mr. Assange. New Zealand tech expert Kim DotCom said he has proof that both he and Seth Rich were involved in passing the emails to Wikileaks, but he has been ignored as well.

The FBI opened an investigation into the theft of the DNC emails in July 2016. However, the FBI has not inspected the DNC server because the DNC won’t give permission. Is the FBI an extension of the DNC? That’s why we have subpoenas. Instead, the FBI relied on an assessment by a cyber security firm, Crowd Strike, hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC’s law firm Perkins Coie as proof that Russia was the hacker. Incompetence is an understatement. Corruption at the highest levels of the DOJ/FBI is clear.

The Trump administration must take charge and get a competent attorney general to pursue these crimes.

Kim Dotcom has stated that he has detailed insider knowledge of what Seth Rich was doing, and offered to testify. He is being actively ignored by our glorious bureaucratic ‘rulers.’

Very few people even remember Seth Rich any more, much less care about the odd circumstances surrounding his death.

Fuck you. Seth Rich was murdered. Likely from orders by the wicked witch herself.

Is that supposed to relate to my post somehow?

But why does Trump and Sessions not move on this obvious murder and an explanation for the DNC email leak? This would not only end Mueller’s Russiagate fishing expedition but also implicate the DNC and most likely Hillary Clinton in cold blooded murder.

The simple fact that Sessions has not been fired by Trump already is pretty good proof that Trump is balls deep in the swamp.

CCTV cameras in DC could follow the “thief” to his shitter. Where are the videos? They have the vehicle, license plate, pictures of the shooter(s), exact time, etc. He/they should have been picked up before kicking off their shoes once home. Oh, that’s right, the 20,000 DC cameras all had the flu that day. The corruption is far greater than generally imagined IMO.

And… back again… just to tie in some connections:

The Parkland School Superintendent was Obama’s minion who signed a 2013 “Collaborative Agreement on School Discipline” with Broward County Sherriff, Scott Israel, which began Obama & Eric Holder’s “Promise Program” allowing kids to run wild in schools with no discipline or accountability.

Broward County also just happens to be part of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s 23rd Congressional District where a dude named B. Whisenant washed up on a beach. And, Whisenant just happened to be investigating Wasserman-Schultz for fraud and likely violations on the House IT network’ by the mysterious Pakistani, Imran Awan, and his brothers?

Let’s see: Computers. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. DNC. Murder. Obama administration. Broward County.

And the hits just keep on coming.

But the NRA is being boycotted?

Courage? Lyons was once the commander of the Navy Seals. He’s old but if they come looking for him they will find the Lion In Winter.

Jake, this would be why I still have some faith in the US – not her government, the US. People like this. A larger number of older military, (and younger ones, such as the ROTC kid that refused to change his story for CNN’s camera’s) seem to actually respect and honor the country from which they offered to sacrifice their lives. I suspect that when push comes to shove, those, like Lyons will be “the giant that awakes” and the snow flakes, and government oppressors will find it will not be that easy after all to make the US conform to the globalist agenda.
They are collectively like the “don’t tread on me” snake that Ben Franklin’s pseudonym spoke of during the revolution – (paraphrasing) calm and deliberately trying to warn an enemy of the danger to them in provocation, but once the enemy steps on them, the bite is ALWAYS fatal.

I would guess that there are many, many people of principle and honor inside the system at the highest levels who have witnessed massive corruption and who know very well who the traitors are and where the skeletons are buried. Some brave patriots have stepped forward and blew the whistle on this corruption…but when the dam breaks…the whistle blowing will become almost deafening as the traitors one by one are taken down.
