Seth Rich killed by Russians?
0 2017-05-16 by thehotsauce
An idea just hit him, and I was curious if anyone else thought about it.
Seth Rich died 12 days before the Clinton wikileaks reveal. The current conspiracy theory is that the DNC killed him because of the leaks.
Could it be possible that 'Russian agents' who already had the DNC data through their hack, killed Seth Rich to provide a red herring easy explanation for the leaks?

I almost hope this will be the talking point, it's mind numbing

They already made it one a few weeks ago. It's fucking sickening.

Hahaha!
I know the "RUSSHINS!!!" joke ran its course several weeks ago, but this one still gave me a good chuckle. Thank you :)
(I hope I'm laughing with you, and not at you)

First time on conspiracy, you may be laughing at me, not sure yet. What's the Russian joke?

WikiLeaks has already given hints that Seth Rich was their source. He had nothing to do with Russia. Also, read Podesta's emails about "making an example" out of a leaker
n/a thehotsauce 2017-05-16
Haven't seen podesta's email yet, I'll check it out. Last I heard about WikiLeaks, Julian Assange made one comment alluding to Seth as leaker, but then rescinded his comment saying he didn't actually know if it was Seth.
That doesn't mean it wasn't him, but it isn't a sure thing.
n/a LightBringerFlex 2017-05-16
No such thing happened. Assange said it could be Seth Rich or anyone else for that matter and that Wikileaks does not expose its sources.
n/a thehotsauce 2017-05-16
Isn't that what I just said? He didn't confirm who it was, it could have been Seth, but there is no evidence licking him in as the leaker. I am agreeing that it's a possibility.
n/a LightBringerFlex 2017-05-16
You were saying Assange hinted at Seth Rich but later admittedly he really didn't know who it was. I'm saying Assange knows who it is but he would never hint at anyone being the source. He hides his sources very well or else nobody would leak to Wikileaks.
n/a thehotsauce 2017-05-16
So do we still end up in the same spot? It could be Seth Rich it could be Seth Rich, it could also not be Seth Rich who was the leaker.
n/a necro_clown 2017-05-16
Those emails were LEAKED, not HACKED.

Israel is the problem not russia, get it through your head.

I can't help but laugh at this given the pol post from the CTR guy who stated this was going to be the subject they'd been directed to use next. The only thing that surprises is how little time it actually took.

For the sake of conversation, what makes dnc Hitmen possible, but Russian Hitmen an impossibility? I'm just really curious, the idea hit me today after the sorry popped back up on the news today. I'm not saying I believe it, just wanted others' input on why or why not.
n/a Ilsaluna 2017-05-16
Really? The most obvious thing is if Russia were involved, the DC police and the alphabet agencies would've been all over it; instead, the DC police were ordered to stand down.
Unless you want to add the DC police to the muh Russians narrative (which would necessitate more investigations), there's absolutely nothing to this other than to distract from the actual evidence coming out.

Jack Burkman 00:30 seconds in https://youtu.be/5idQimZ6Jp8 He already started the narrative months ago
n/a pby1000 2017-05-16
Yes, Seth rich was killed by the Russians, then the DC police were ordered to stand down. Makes perfect sense. LOL. I am afraid to look, but this is probably what r/politics is saying at the moment. Morons.
n/a thehotsauce 2017-05-16
Would you mind filling me in, what happened with the DC police?
n/a pby1000 2017-05-16
According to an article I read yesterday, the DC police were ordered to stand down in the Seth Rich murder investigation.
http://dailywesterner.com/news/2017-05-16/seth-rich-may-have-been-killed-for-ties-to-wikileaks-police-were-told-to-stand-down-on-this-case/
I am not sure what day the order was given, or who gave it. My guess is it was Cathy L. Lanier or Peter Newsham. Cathy L. Lanier left the DC police in September of 2016, and Peter Newsham took over. Peter Newsham is the one who was photographed with James "Why does Daddy like Butt?" Alefantis outside CPP.

Thanks, I'll read this when I get home.

Anything is possible really. This place is swarming with Trump lovers who have created yet another fake narrative and are filling the internet with it.
We need to go back to square one. Let's look at the possibilities:
Seth Rich was killed by HRC operatives after he leaked information that he may or may not have had access to BECAUSE ... because it's too late! The info already leaked! Killing his would make Republican partisans go crazy on the internet. Hmmm, that doesn't really work well.
Pretty much the opposite of the above. Republican operatives killed Seth Rich to create that illusion.
Russians killed Seth Rich for helping them out with their Trump support. Hmmm, that's not how you treat your friends.
Russians killed Seth Rich because they thought he would turn on them. Hmmm, if he did the leak, then he would not likely turn on them -- and if he didn't -- he would be irrelevant to Russians. So, this one doesn't work.
Seth Rich was killed by someone for a non-political purpose.
I think that #2 or #5 make sense and the other three don't. :)

This plot is much much deeper than either "Muh Russians" or "Muh Hillary". BOTH sides are involved in this.
Russia hacked the DNC, the huge set of data was questionable and unverified. So, what happened next was Seth (a known BernieBro) was somehow convinced through someone to leak to wikipedia about the 1sthand knowledge he had about the voting situation in the Ohio primary, which cost Bernie the primary. So, Seth leaks a small chuck of emails about the Ohio stuff to wikileaks hoping to whisteblow the primary rigging thing. Low-and behold, they match word for word a chuck of data derived in the Russia hack, verifying that data as legitimate. Seth is then killed shortly after.
DNC did it is plausible Russia did it is also plausible.
personally, i think it was Russian assets that convinced Seth to leak to attempt to vindicate Bernie. They at that point would have known he did it since they helped him do it. Killing him could only implicate the DNC at this point as their involvement(Russia) wasn't know publicly yet. The man who could explain his reasons for WHY he leaked is now dead.

I will not believe this. You need to say "hacks" or "hacked" at least..... three more times for me to be scared enough to agree.
n/a paulie_purr 2017-05-16
Is Rich a known Berniebro or does it simply fit the narrative to assign him this status?
The rest of your post is very reasonable. It's worth noting (usually to a deliberately deaf audience) that the DNC thing is not the only hack attributed to Russia-- multiple Dem officials, state voter registration systems, Trump primary opponents. People seem to ignore or forget this fact, which makes sense.
Of course, not only is Rich deceased but this WL-connected guy he's alleged to have emailed is also dead. Alot of this thus far is dead men getting stuffed with partisan agendas, and wink-winks from Assange (which he also apparently did with Pizzagate).

It could actually be very simple:
Republicans cause 9-11 to happen so they could blame someone else, namely Osama bi Ladin and build an elaborate fake conspiracy around it.
Republicans killed a relatively low-level Democratic operative so they could blame the Democrats and build an elaborate fake conspiracy around it.
NOT saying this is the final answer. I am only saying that, given the current evidence, or lack thereof, this is as likely as any other. :)

Russia did not hack the DNC, the DNC information was leaked to Wikileaks. There are reports that the Russians did some hacking of private institutions and organizations in the U.S. during the election.
Maybe they are blackmailing the Republicans? No leaked information from any of the conservative or Republican groups.
n/a DonnaGail 2017-05-16
Poor Russia. They are getting blamed for everything.

Yeah, very much possible. That Jack Berkman dude (whokilledseth.com) was thinking the same thing for awhile. When these suspicions were posted here, guess what happened? MUH RUSSIANS!!! and it was ignored. Unsourced claims of Rich-WL emails? This place fucking explodes.

the answer to your question is ... nope
