Family of slain DNC staffer Seth Rich blasts nutters for spreading ‘harmful’ WikiLeaks conspiracies

in #news8 years ago

The family of slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich have asked conspiracy theorists to stop making baseless speculations about his death.

Rich was shot and killed July 10 while walking home in Washington, D.C., and a series of thinly sourced online stories have portrayed the 27-year-old as a whistleblower on his way to an ill-fated meeting with FBI agents.

The conspiracy theories claim Rich had been planning to reveal damaging information about Hillary Clinton before he was killed in the unsolved shooting.

WikiLeaks offered $20,000 on Tuesday leading to a conviction in the homicide, and founder Julian Assange suggested in an interview that Rich might have been a source for the group.

The conspiracy theories are largely based on the fact that Rich was killed shortly before hacked emails were released, showing DNC officials worked closely with the Clinton campaign during her primary race against Bernie Sanders.

SOURCE: Raw Story

Here is an example of the "nutters" with conspiracy theories that they're referring to in the Raw Story article. Julian Assange seems to make the suggestion that Rich exposed the DNC emails.

My take: There may not be enough evidence of foul play in this instance, and Rich's family's need for privacy is understandable, but the potential Clinton body count is something we can't afford to ignore as we select our new "leader of the free world."

Too many different allegations have surfaced throughout her career with damning evidence coming from many different sources. The email issue is just the most recent. How many times did she enable her rapist husband by participating in character assassination of the victims?

Are people not awake enough to realize what is happening? Why is this psychopath even an option?
