#SETHRICH WAS A HERO
I KNOW THAT SETH RICH WAS INVOLVED IN THE DNC LEAK.
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.

Panda advised me that he was working on voter analytics tools and other technologies that the Internet Party may find helpful.

I communicated with Panda on a number of topics including corruption and the influence of corporate money in politics.

“He wanted to change that from the inside.”
I was referring to what I knew when I did an interview with Bloomberg in New Zealand in May 2015. In that interview I hinted that Julian Assange and Wikileaks would release information about Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election.

The Rich family has reached out to me to ask that I be sensitive to their loss in my public comments. That request is entirely reasonable.

I have consulted with my lawyers. I accept that my full statement should be provided to the authorities and I am prepared to do that so that there can be a full investigation. My lawyers will speak with the authorities regarding the proper process.

If my evidence is required to be given in the United States I would be prepared to do so if appropriate arrangements are made. I would need a guarantee from Special Counsel Mueller, on behalf of the United States, of safe passage from New Zealand to the United States and back. In the coming days we will be communicating with the appropriate authorities to make the necessary arrangements. In the meantime, I will make no further comment.

KIM DOTCOM

On the one hand, Kim Dotcom trolled Hannity pretty loving hard and then used all the publicity as a means to plug his new album. On the other hand, he's still raping the corpse of a murder victim for personal gain, just like Sean Hannity! So it seems like a wash.

Falling for the most obvious con artist is their entire identity at this point, as Trump voters.

What if the DNC did do it, the truth is revealed which causes them to shut down which then in return causes a more efficient, transparent and energetic governing body for the Democratic party to spring up? What then? :smuggo:

The_Donald has THE SMOKING GUN. The wife of a doctor who works at a hospital near to where Rich was shot was once at the same fundraiser as John Podesta.

Of course you have to actually wade through the comments to see that - the titles of their posts say that he was the attending doctor, but I've clicked all their many links and I can't see it anywhere.

Following the 1997 sodomization of Haitian immigrant Abner Louima with a wooden stick in a New York police station, Hannity targeted the victim. Calling him “lying Louima,” he claimed Louima had received the injuries through a “gay sex act” as opposed to an act of police brutality. On his WABC talk radio show, Hannity sang a parody of the Commodores song “Three Times A Lady” with the words “you’re once, twice, three times a liar.” Further, as FAIR reported, during the trial, the father of defendant Justin Volpe, one of the defendants who later confessed to sodomizing Louima, appeared regularly on Hannity’s program.

I'm sure Sean's got it right this one time, though.

He's been broke brained since day 1 of his radio career. He got fired for telling a lesbian woman he felt sorry for her children and it's been a marvelous journey since then

This doesn't really preclude the leaks. It's entirely likely that Wikileaks sat on the emails for some time, though it does cast a bit of doubt on the theory; after all, why would he be killed a full 12 days prior to the leaks? Why wouldn't the leaks have come out sooner?

Of course, Wikileaks would be able to provide the date that they received the leaks, but it'd likely be too close to compromising their methodology, which given their current circumstance would be highly dangerous. It's troublesome all the way down, although of course, it doesn't matter so much at this point; beyond finding justice for Rich's killer, the damage the leaks did has already been done, and Trump is in the White House. The only thing that directly connecting the DNC to Rich's murder would do is ultimately erode the Democratic Party and ensure Trump a second term.

The earliest he could have supplied the emails was like two months prior

It's not. It's just that this one happened a year ago, and is now only suddenly being screamed about at the exact same time that Trump is getting slammed every single day by the media. The 'evidence' is made up of extremely tenuous circumstantial links and anonymous posts on loving 4chan.

I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that Seth Rich knew something he shouldn't have, or pissed off the wrong person, but why don't we let the police investigate this one, for once. Unless it was some pig who murdered him, I don't think they have much of a conflict of interest, unlike in all those cases where a pig is caught on tape flat-out executing some surrendering or fleeing black teenager after screaming the N-word at him.
