Evidence Seth Rich Had Contact with WikiLeaks Prior to Death

Casca XV said:
Keep in mind CNN also reported "Comey asked for more money" and "Rosenstein threatened to resign" Two proven politically motivated lies within the last week. And that is a slow week for them getting caught in lies.

I saw at least 3 interviews where Wheeler confidently and independently said "Seth Rich is a wikileaks source" (paraphrase).

It's only in recanting that Wheeler looks like he is being coached.

Wheeler has an ironclad contract with the Rich family who apparently has an ironclad contract with DNC propagandist Brad Bauman to control the narrative on this.

Threats of a lawsuit and possible death will make Wheeler or anyone else recant.

He recanted because he has no evidence and in fact learned about the "plot" on Fox news. The FBI has determined with certainty that the Russians hacked the DNC and have the evidence to prove it. His family is upset that Rich is being dragged thru the mud as part of a CT with nothing to back it up.

It would be even nicer if you didn't believe everything you hear or read on Fox News.

Fox News played you for a sucker....

NBC News reported of Wheeler, “Wheeler has since completely recanted his story, both in the press and in a private message to Rich’s family. The private investigator told other outlets the Fox reporter essentially put words in his mouth by giving him information that he then repeated in an on-camera interview.” Although the family has asked for an apology and retraction from Fox 5, none has been granted thus far, reported NBC.

You are obviously are not keeping up with current events. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqOQTZirLP0 this is just going to keep dripping. Right now the DNC is S**ting themselves walking back their calls for impeachment over Russia. They have their base in foaming with hatred and eventually they will have to explain why there is 0 evidence of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MNJFkr7dhA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsl-nLWJcNo&t=192s

None of your sources actually quote family members. Just that DNC Snake who claims to represent them.

I also hope the Family sues. But the DNC who controls them will never allow it. I brings attention to something they desperately want to disappear.

You're gonna need to do better than that big "drip". lol


Actually, most if not all my sources quoted the Rich family demanding that Wheeler and Fox News to retract their lies and apologize. Now it seems they're threatening to file legal action....

Family of slain DNC staffer Seth Rich sends 'cease and desist' letter to Fox News contributor - Chicago Tribune


The family spokesperson, the Washington, D.C., police department, the Washington, D.C., mayor's office, the FBI, and law enforcement sources familiar with the case all disputed Wheeler's claims.[37][41]

The family said, "We are a family who is committed to facts, not fake evidence that surfaces every few months to fill the void and distract law enforcement and the general public from finding Seth's murderers."[37]

Bauman criticized Fox News for its reporting, alleging that the outlet was motivated by a desire to deflect attention from the Trump-Russia story: "I think there's a very special place in hell for people that would use the memory of a murder victim in order to pursue a political agenda."[42] The family has called for retractions and apologies from Fox News for the inaccurate reporting.[7][50]

Over the course of the day, Fox News altered the contents of the story and the headline, but did not issue corrections.[40][7][51] When CNN contacted Wheeler later that day, he said that he had no evidence that Rich had contacted Wikileaks.[38] Wheeler claimed that Fox had presented his quotes misleadingly and that he only learned about the possible existence of the evidence from a Fox News reporter.[38][47] Despite the investigator's retraction and no evidence in favor of the theory, Sean Hannity's show and Fox & Friends continued to promote the conspiracy theory for the remainder of the week. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich took also part in spreading the conspiracy.[52][53][54][46][55][56][57]

On May 19, 2017, an attorney for the Rich family sent a cease and desist letter to Wheeler.[11]

You said the FBI was not investigating this, yet they are one of the sources your Fake News quotes.

You are going to have to do better than a dying media that gets caught lying on a daily basis.

Im board with this current circular conversation. This will break soon and we will continue. Then I will embarass you to the point that you will probably abandon this profile.
 
As much as 45's staunchest supporters want to make this CT fact and mainstream, it won't take the heat off of 45 and his administration.

Sorry.

Statement on coverage of Seth Rich murder investigation | Fox News

On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich. The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.

We will continue to investigate this story and will provide updates as warranted.

Even Fox is backing off this train wreck of a story.
 
As Fox News had to retract the fake news story on the mans murder, I would not too much stock in this ant hill of nothing. A failed attempt by at Right Fake news outlets to distract from Russiagate. Not happening!!

Gee, I wonder who would murder DNC staffer Seth Rich for interacting with WikiLeaks right after so much damaging info on the DNC was disclosed by WikiLeaks?

Hmm... could it be the D̶N̶C̶North Koreans, the D̶N̶C̶KKK, the D̶N̶C̶Russians, the D̶N̶C̶Martians? Darn it, I can't see anyone else who might have a motive...:confused:

Washington Post citing an anonymous source is unacceptable. But a nobody private investigators word is gold.

At least the nobody private investigator has a name.
 
All of which proves the best way not to get murdered at night in a holdup on a big city street is NOT to talk to Wikikeaks before you venture out.
 
I love a good conspiracy, but this one seems to fail too much.
The timing of this story is a little too close to this special investigator, Mike Flynn taking the 5th, why is this coming up now and not 6 months ago?

Kim Dotcom is someone anybody should think as a credible source? Really?
The guy who started this story took it all back the next day claiming that his story was mis-worded or something.
The propaganda is good - I enjoy it, but I just don't buy the entire narrative.

And btw, I think the "Russia did it!" theory is just about as plausible as the Seth Rich conspiracy.
If any of these newspapers did their job, we might know the real story.
The CIA / NSA knows what the real story is - but we will never know the truth. This will be like the JFK assassination - lots of conspiracies, but nobody knowing anything with certainty.

There are a couple of threads in the CT forum that may be useful now for reference. I always wondered why Rich was out walking in the middle of the night, and I wonder now if this story has legs after all.

well NB, it has the same kind of legs that "president born in Kenya" "his BC is a forgery" "he wants to kill old people" "the stimulus will cause hyperinflation, dollar collapse, market to zero" and of course the vile and disgusting "stand down" lies had. It was spewed by the conservative media and the conservative base wants to believe it. How many times do you have to see the same thing over and over before you recognize a pattern. Hey and just like those "stories" numerous details spewed by the conservative media in this case had no basis in fact and the conservatives continue to believe it.

You're overstating the Birther stuff. I am a real conservative (mainly), not an imaginary one created out of fantasy. "The conservatives" is too broad a stroke.

I guess we're all just going to have to accept that conspiracy theories, whether they're about Russian collusion or the possible assassination of a WikiLeaks source is the rule of the day.;)

NB, that's is a really post. You stated it so effortlessly I almost didn't notice that you equated "Russian collusion" with the "rich conspiracy". The "rich conspiracy" required the conservative media to lie and the conservative base to obediently believe it. They are investigating Russia's role in the election. They are looking at contacts between the trump campaign and the Russians. Two trump officials have lied about contacts. One has asked for immunity and (now read this slowly) Trump fired the guy in charge of the investigation to (in his own words) take the heat off of him.

Also could you please explain what you mean by "overstated" because not only did Trump tell you he sent "investigators" to Hawaii and the "couldn't believe what they were finding" but its why he shot to the top of the polls in 2012. Oh and 40% of republicans believed President Obama was not born in America. So please explain "overstated". And I did mention other conservative lies that conservatives obediently believed.

I wouldn't have to explain if you understood that 40% isn't 100% and that "some" doesn't equal "all."

I'm sorry you inferred "all". I've stated numerous times that "born in Kenya", "wants to kill old people" and the vile and disgusting "stand down" lies were official lying conservative narratives obediently believed by a large % of conservatives. It seems to me that your "nit picking" is just a dodge to avoid discussing the points I made such as you effortlessly equating an FBI investigation with yet another lying conservative narrative believed by a large % of conservatives.

In the absence of a qualifier such as "many" or "some," your statement here is what's called a "universal proposition," meaning "all": "And I did mention other conservative lies that conservatives obediently believed."
