Everyone is talking the 'Russia hacked our election' talking point to death, why is no one asking any question about Seth Rich?
Seth Rich, 27, was shot and killed on July 10 at 4:15 a.m. in a murder that remains unsolved. Police said there were no suspects or eyewitnesses or an obvious motive. What made the murder so strange was that he may have been a victim of an “attempted robbery,” but his wallet and credit cards were not taken. His father has said that he believed Rich was killed while resisting the robbery, accounting for the bruises on his body and the fact that he was shot at least once in the back.
At the time of his death, Seth worked for the DNC, focusing on voting issues. He was a data analyst and was the DNC’s Voter Expansion Data Director, according to his LinkedIn page. WikiLeaks offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in Rich’s death. Assange has spoken about Rich’s death before, neither confirming nor denying that Rich was the source. (But WikiLeaks makes it a policy to never reveal its source.) Some of Assange’s statements, especially during an interview with Dutch TV station NOS, gave fuel to the rumors. Assange spoke about Rich’s death and said, “Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material, often very significant risks. There’s a 27-year-old that works for the DNC who was shot in the back, murdered, just two weeks ago, for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington… I am suggesting that our sources, ah, take risks and they, they become concerned to see things occurring like that…”
