Shock Claim From Inside DNC: Seth Rich Leaked Emails To Moscow Lawyer One Month Before His Murder
2017-07-31
[ZEROHEDGE] With the 'Russian hacking' conspiracy theory hanging by a gossamer thread, a new claim from a prominent Seth Rich investigator casts further doubt that the DNC servers were breached by a foreign actor - yet maintains the charge of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election: Seth Rich leaked the DNC emails to the same Moscow attorney who met with Trump Jr. in June 2016.

According to Radar Online, an anonymous staffer currently employed by the DNC contacted prominent attorney, GOP lobbyist, and Seth Rich investigator Jack Burkman with the claim that Rich met with Natalia Veselnitskaya one month before his murder - giving her a cache of DNC emails later released by WikiLeaks.

Of note, Veselnitskaya - who doesn't speak English, would have needed an interpreter to meet with Rich unless he spoke Russian.

Jack Burkman represents the family of Seth Rich, and has been pushing the Seth Rich - Russia connection for months, calling for an investigation into links to the murder. In January, he told Infowars Rich was murdered by Russia after uncovering evidence that they hacked the DNC.
I'm confused. Why would Russia assassinate him after he'd given them something so useful of his own free will?
In addition to creating the website www.whokilledseth.com, Burkman is staging a reenactment of Rich's murder next Tuesday.

#15  Seth Rich would have been on of the few tech savvy people around the Amans.

From wikipedia,

In 2014 he began working for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as the Voter Expansion Data Director. One of his tasks at the DNC was the development of a computer application to help voters locate polling stations.

#14  What is in Imran's sniffer?

Can't say specifically but it certainly looks like something unIslamic.

#12  I've been wondering if there was an Awan Seth Rich connection as they would likely have crossed paths.

Maybe, Rich had found out what Aman was up to and told him that night he was going to the FBI.

More plausible than some shadowy hitman.

No, the point of the Kremlin’s assault on the American election of 2016 was to defame both candidates, and sow chaos, and thereby to discredit the American system of government, which rests on the consent of the governed. By any measure you care to use, the Kremlin has succeeded, and Fusion GPS was one of its most useful instruments.

#6  Seth Rich is an interesting story but now I'm also intrigued by the possibility that Imran Awan got hold of the DNC email via Debbie Downer's laptop. Well, the Dems were so damn careless there's no telling how that server was compromised.

#4  Disinformation campaign to cover the real story of what happened to Seth Rich. If you bury the truth deep in silly lies, eventually it all is dismissed as silly. The DNC and the Hildabeest seem to be at the core of so much, yet the MSM and Trump himself cannot get out of the Russia meme.

#2  The typical B.S. from zerohedge. This is meant to confuse the issue and get the heat of the Seth Rich investigation. "TEH ROOSHINS" is a distracting tactic, distrust whoever says it.

#1  Seth Rich was murdered July 10, 2016. Per this article Natalia Veselnitskaya met with him one month prior to his murder which would place this around June 10, 2016.

Natalia Veselnitskaya met with the Trump campaign to say she had info on the Hillary campaign June 9, 2016.

I'm confused. Why would Russia assassinate him after he'd given them something so useful of his own free will?

Because he was an unstable spy who was compromised by Natalia Veselnitskaya, had second thoughts and stopped cooperating, went drinking that night to get drunk over the mess and was being followed by Russian agents based in DC?

Wild guesses but great conspiracy stuff.
