Donna Brazile Reveals She ‘Feared for Her Life’ After Seth Rich was Murdered

Donna Brazile revealed that she feared for her life after Seth Rich was murdered, and was encouraged by Democratic Officials not to talk about the DNC Leaks.

AUDIO: Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Just Confirmed Seth Rich Was DNC Email Leaker

Questions surrounding the case of former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich and whether he was the source who gave thousands of classified DNC emails to WikiLeaks, reached a new level Tuesday night, when leaked audio revealed that Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh claimed Rich contacted WikiLeaks.

On the audio recording, Hersh claimed he is citing an FBI document, which states that before Rich’s death, he contacted WikiLeaks with sample emails from the leak, and the evidence was then found on his computer.

“There are no DNC or Podesta emails that exist beyond May 21 or 22, last email from either one of those groups. What the report says is that sometime in late Spring… he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that’s in his computer,” Hersh said. “Anyway, they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents—of emails, of juicy emails, from the DNC.”

Seth Rich, 27, was working as the DNC’s voter expansion data director in Washington D.C. when he was mysteriously shot and killed, while walking home around 4 a.m. on July 10, 2016.

It was also recently confirmed that Seth Rich was with Imran Awan — who has worked for several House Democrats, including Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and was arrested last Monday and charged with bank fraud — on the night he was murdered.

The official story was that Rich was the victim of a botched robbery. However, the timing of his death, in relation to the release of the infamous DNC Emails from WikiLeaks less than two weeks later, has caused many to question the missing links surrounding his unsolved murder.

While there is speculation that Rich—who was found with both his watch and his wallet—was the victim of more than just a robbery gone wrong, Hersh said he does not believe Rich was “murdered because of what he knew.” He said that given the rough neighborhood Rich was living in, it was entirely possible that someone shot him in the back twice, and then got scared and ran away without taking his wallet.

“When they have a death like that,” Hersh said. “[D.C. Cops] have to find out what’s going on, you have to go to the apartment to see what you can find. If he’s dead, you don’t need a warrant, but most cops get a warrant, because they don’t know if the guy has a roommate.”

One of the main things police looked for was Rich’s laptop, and when even their special cyber unit could not crack into it, they called in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. On the audio recording, Hersh claims he is referencing the report created by the FBI after agents searched Rich’s laptop.

“All I know is that he offered a sample, an extensive sample, I’m sure dozens of emails, and said ‘I want money.’ Later, WikiLeaks did get the password, he had a DropBox, a protected DropBox. They got access to the DropBox,” Hersh said. “The word was passed. According to the NSA report, he also shared this DropBox with a couple of friends, so that ‘if anything happens to me it’s not going to solve your problems. WikiLeaks got access before he was killed.”

While Hersh claimed he believes the official story of Rich’s death, a months-long forensic investigation conducted by the Profiling Project came to the conclusion in June that Rich’s murder “more likely was committed by a hired killer or serial murderer,” than a robbery gone bad.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange also said he does not believe the official story of Rich’s death, during an interview in August 2016.

“Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often significant risks. There was a 27-year old that works for the DNC who was shot in the back… murdered… for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington,” Assange said. When asked what he was suggesting, he replied, “I am suggesting that our sources take risks and they become concerned to see things occurring like that.”

While Assange has yet to confirm whether Rich was the source of the DNC leaks, internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom spoke out in May and revealed that he worked with Rich. He said that if the U.S. Congress “includes #SethRich case into their Russia case,” he will give “written testimony with evidence that Seth Rich was WikiLeaks’ source.”

In addition to providing new evidence that links Seth Rich to WikiLeaks, Seymour Hersh has also revealed that Saudi Arabia hid Osama bin Laden from the U.S. after 9/11, and that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helped start the Syrian War by approving the delivery of sarin gas to rebels groups to frame President Assad.

A Year Ago Today, Seth Rich Was Murdered & Those Who Question It Labeled as Kooks

Democratic National Committee Staffer Seth Rich was murdered on July 10, 2016, and despite the public attention surrounding his death—and the possibility that he was the source who leaked thousands of DNC emails to WikiLeaks—no one has been held responsible for his murder.

He was just 27 years old, and was working as the voter expansion data director for the DNC in Washington D.C. Rich was shot twice in the back while he was walking home around 4:20 a.m., and the “official story” has always been that he was the victim of a botched robbery—yet even though he was killed, he was still found with his wallet, containing all of his cash and credit cards, and his expensive watch.

Despite the fact that the official narrative surrounding Rich’s death does not add up, and no suspects have been charged, anything questioning the alleged botched robbery has been labeled as a “vast right-wing conspiracy.”

Even Rich’s family has criticized any attempt to link Seth Rich to WikiLeaks, or to politicize his death. In a statement commemorating the one-year anniversary of Rich’s death, his family asked for an end to “the continual push of false and inaccurate information about Seth’s death.”

“On the anniversary of the passing of our son and brother, we are again feeling the deep loss of this senseless act,” the family statement said. “Please cease using Seth as a political football in predetermined partisan narratives. The continual push of false and inaccurate information about Seth’s death, along with the harassment of Seth’s friends, family and co-workers, hurts those who were closest to Seth, and does nothing to bring justice to his killers.”

All politics aside, there are still questions surrounding the official narrative of Rich’s death.

As The Free Thought Project reported in June, a months-long forensic investigation conducted by the Profiling Project came to the conclusion that Rich’s murder “more likely was committed by a hired killer or serial murderer,” than a robbery gone bad.

“The crime scene was sanitized, there is no direct linking to really anything. The police have no suspects,” Kevin Doherty, lead investigator of the Profiling Project, said during a press conference. “The individuals have gotten away with it at this point in time. There were no behavioral indications at the crime scene. It didn’t look like rage or revenge or hate were the motivation behind it. It’s really a lack of behavioral indicators, motion and evidence that leads us to believe that whoever did this is proficient at killing.”

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has not explicitly said whether Rich was the source of the leaked DNC emails, but he did say in August 2016 that he does not believe the official story of Rich’s death.

“Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often significant risks. There was a 27-year old that works for the DNC who was shot in the back… murdered.. for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington,” Assange said. When asked what he was suggesting, he replied, “I am suggesting that our sources take risks and they become concerned to see things occurring like that.”

Kim Dotcom, an internet entrepreneur who has been fighting extradition to the United States over copyright infringement allegations, revealed in May that he worked with Rich, and he said that if the U.S. Congress “includes #SethRich case into their Russia case,” he will give “written testimony with evidence that Seth Rich was WikiLeaks’ source.”

If Congress includes #SethRich case into their Russia probe I"ll give written testimony with evidence that Seth Rich was @Wikileaks source.

The questions are being asked—not just by conspiracy theorists, but also by political figures such as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. During an interview in May, he said he believes Rich was assassinated for leaking thousands of DNC emails to WikiLeaks.

“We have this very strange story now of this young man who worked at the Democratic National Committee, who apparently was ASSASSINATED, at four in the morning, having given Wikileaks … 53,000 emails and 17,000 attachments,” Gingrich said. “Nobody is investigating that. And what does that tell you about what was going on? Because it turns out it wasn’t the Russians. It was this young guy who I suspect was disgusted by the corruption of the Democratic National Committee. He’s been killed and apparently nothing serious has been done to investigate his murder.” 

The fact is that one year later, there are still questions remaining as to who murdered Rich, and if it was more than just a robbery gone wrong, why was it covered up? 

In addition to a White House petition calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Rich’s murder that has received nearly 70,000 signatures, offers for information on Rich’s killer have reached over $345,000 in rewards. This includes $20,000 from WikiLeaks, $25,000 from the D.C. Metropolitan Police, $100,000 from One America News, $100,000 from Republican donor Jack Burkman, and even $100,000 from former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli.

Psyop Alert: MSM Rolls Out Brand New Seth Rich Murder Claims Based On “83 Page Report” (VIDEO)

Breaking: TWO Psyops In One Day- Check out this second Seth Rich murder psyop launched the same day (6-21-17)!

The more we know about the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich in July of 2016 and as more is revealed the more desperate the Hillary-Schultz-DNC deep state is getting. Today’s development is another sign of a desperate attempt to create false evidence and brand new false claims to distract from the real investigation into the real killers of Seth Rich.

No one following the Seth Rich murder by now should be surprised that today the deep state’s mainstream media is rolling out a brand new psyop claiming that a “new study” by “volunteer” researchers at an independent research group called the “Profiling Project” just studied the Seth Rich murder and concluded that Rich was murdered by a “serial murderer ” who is likely “still at large”.

A serial killer is likely behind the murder of Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich, according to forensic psychology students and instructors who spent three months investigating the homicide. Those researchers, who volunteer at The Profiling Project, an independent group, published their findings on Tuesday in an 83-page report.

The Profiling Project, based in Arlington, Virginia, consists of around 20 volunteers who are current and former George Washington University forensic psychology graduate students and instructors. The report states that Rich’s July 2016 “death does not appear to be a random homicide” or “a robbery gone bad,” as police had suggested. Instead, the report says, the “death was more likely committed by a hired killer or serial murderer,” and that the killer is likely still at large.

“The person folks [should be] looking for and considering isn’t a robber who kills, but really is a killer, and maybe a killer that doesn’t rob,” says Kevin Doherty, a recent George Washington University graduate and one of the volunteers with The Profiling Project. “The fact that this person has gotten away with it shows a level of proficiency.”

This brand new unscientific report which amounts to propaganda to cover up a murder conveniently points away from this being a politically motivated murder. I suspect this is also an attempt to break away from the initial “official” claim that Rich was murdered in a random robbery attempt. This “robbery” claim of course was horrifically debunked from the start given that Rich had his wallet and valuables still on him thus I believe this new “study” claim has been cleverly designed by the attorneys looking to protect the deep state killers in order to break away from this now very painfully false narrative.

In terms of motive it is easy to see that the damaging Wikileaks ultimately brought down DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz whose laptop is under investigation. And it’s easy to see that this investigation threatens to bring down many more within the DNC circle.

All of this is typical in-your-face propaganda by the ruling elite and no one should believe these outrageous lies and totally non-scientific study and claims designed to distract people away from the real Seth Rich killers who are now running from the law. Don’t kid yourself. The Seth Rich killers are doing this because they know the walls are closing in on them.

Despite family’s pleas, the search for truth about Seth Rich continues

After a dizzying week of unsubstantiated claims and anonymous rumors, it’s time to look at what we actually know about Seth Rich’s murder. 

On Tuesday May 16, Fox5 in Washington D.C. released a report claiming that Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was in contact with WikiLeaks prior to his murder in July 2016. The report claimed a private investigator hired by Rich’s family has found tangible evidence of a connection to Rich and WikiLeaks. According to D.C. police, Rich was shot twice in the back as part of a botched robbery in D.C.’s Bloomingdale neighborhood. He has been suspected as the possible source for the DNC leaks which began last summer during the presidential campaign.

The news report was quickly debunked or hailed as proof (depending on where or if you fall along the left/right political paradigm) of Rich’s connection to the leaks. Wheeler initially stated he had seen evidence “on Rich’s laptop that confirms he was communicating with WikiLeaks prior to his death.” However, within 48 hours Wheeler backed off his claims, at one point telling CNN, “I only got that [information] from the reporter at Fox News.”

Only days after Wheeler backed off his claims, Fox News officially denounced the story promoted by Wheeler and an apparent “anonymous federal investigator.” Fox News writes:

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.

The New York Times and other deadstream outlets were quick to point the finger on various “far right” and “conspiracy theory” websites for reporting on the developments. The Times claimed “Mr. Assange was trying to protect his reputation” and that Alex Jones, the founder of Infowars, is trying to sell more Fluoride Shield supplement.

Meanwhile, Seth Rich’s parents and brother released statements asking researchers to drop the case. In an op-ed for the Washington Post, the Riches accuse media outlets of using their son’s memory for their own political gain. “We ask those purveying falsehoods to give us peace, and to give law enforcement the time and space to do the investigation they need to solve our son’s murder,” they wrote.

Aaron Rich, Seth’s brother, also wrote a letter to Porter Berry, executive producer of “Hannity,” demanding that he force host Sean Hannity to stop promoting theories about his brother’s death. “As the family, we would hope to be the first people to learn about any such evidence and reasons for Seth’s death,” Aaron Rich wrote in the letter which was viewed by CNN. “It is a travesty that you would prompt false conspiracy theories and other people’s agendas rather than work with the family to learn the truth.”

The pleas from the family and the retraction of the Fox story did not slow down the pursuit for more information related to Seth Rich’s murder. The continued interest in the story was due in part to statements made last week and over the weekend by Internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom. Dotcom tweeted that he had evidence tying Seth Rich to WikiLeaks. He tweeted, “If Congress includes #SethRich case into their Russia probe I’ll give written testimony with evidence that Seth Rich was @Wikileaks source.” Dotcom then promised to release a full statement on Tuesday after conferring with his legal team.

The statement was released on Tuesday as promised, but it provided no new information and only further fueled the abundant speculation into whether or not Seth Rich was connected to WikiLeaks in any way.  “I KNOW THAT SETH RICH WAS INVOLVED IN THE DNC LEAK,” read a statement on Kim.com.” I know this because in late 2014 a person contacted me about helping me to start a branch of the Internet Party in the United States. He called himself Panda. I now know that Panda was Seth Rich.”

Dotcom goes on to claim that “Panda” was working on voter analytics tools and wanted to change the political system from within. He said that he would be willing to provide a full statement in person to the U.S. Congress upon receiving a guarantee from Special Counsel Mueller that he would be allowed to travel unmolested from New Zealand to the United States.

Dotcom’s less than revealing statement was met with a mix of hope, disappointment, and attacks from establishment media. The Washington Post published a story accusing him of attempting to hack Seth Rich’s Gmail account to plant false evidence of a WikiLeaks connection.

It sure looks like @KimDotcom tried to hack Seth Rich"s Gmail account to plant evidence for his conspiracy theory. https://t.co/xeH9TYrKyy pic.twitter.com/C4gsJj3cfx

— Eric Geller (@ericgeller) May 24, 2017

The Post stated that Seth Rich’s Gmail account received a new alert in the last week from Mega.com, a website created by Kim Dotcom. “The latest revelation — that a hacker from New Zealand may have been trying as recently as this week to hack into Rich’s email — offered fresh evidence that the conspiracy theory is false,” The Post writes. “Dotcom, it seemed, may have been willing to create a fake archive of emails from Rich to “prove” his role in the DNC hack.”

Dotcom responded with his own open letter warning the Rich family and spokesman not to defame his name in their attempt to silence researchers. “I remain prepared to assist in the investigation, as I have said. While I want to show understanding to the family in this difficult time, I also maintain that what I have said is true and will be substantiated upon investigation.” Dotcom addressed what he called false statements from WaPo and Fox News. Dotcom continues to tweet about Seth Rich and is calling for a crowdfunded investigation into his death.

Kim Dotcom also encouraged his followers to support Texas Representative Blake Farenthold, “the lawmaker who has called for a real investigation into the murder of #SethRich.” Activist Post will continue to post developments if they come.

At this point it’s important to recognize that the only piece of “evidence” which point towards Seth Rich being involved with the DNC leaks and WikiLeaks rest on a couple of curious comments from Julian Assange and Twitter chat logs that are purported to have taken place between Robbin Young, a former Playboy model and actress, and the apparent hacker behind the leaks, Guccifer 2.0. In these direct messages Young and Gufficer converse about the origin of the DNC leaks. Readers should note that these messages have not been independently verified, but they can be viewed in their entirety on Young’s website.

We are left with the statement from Dotcom, comments from Assange, a discredited report, and unconfirmed chat logs. It is possible Rod Wheeler and Fox were threatened and told to stop reporting on Rich’s murder. Possible, yet lacking in evidence. There are still loose threads to be explored by researchers with the skill, time, and resources. For the rest of us, it may be important to focus on the fact that the U.S. government still has not conclusively proved that the 2016 Presidential Election was “hacked” by the Russian government.
