I just read an article from Newsweek (yes, it still exists) about the murder of Democrat National Committee staffer Seth Rich. To say the least, it was strange. The "reporter" said he was going to give us the inside information about Rich's murder. Rich was shot at 4:30 a.m. a few weeks ago as he walked near his apartment in Washington, DC. Police thought at first that it was a robbery, but Rich's wallet, cash, watch and phone were still on the body. If a robber actually shot Rich, he or she would most likely have taken those items. This is the information the police gave out shortly after the murder. The Newsweek article doesn't have any more information either. Instead, the article goes on at lengths about how Julian Assange offered an award for information leading to the arrest of Rich's murderer and implied that Rich might be the source of the DNC emails which were leaked on the eve of the Democrat convention. Newsweek says, however, that Rich has been cleared of having any involvement in the leak of the DNC emails. It cites unnamed "sources" who implicate the likely perpetrator as the Russians. Newsweek then blames those who connect Rich's murder to the leak of the DNC emails to right-wing conspiracy theorists.
There was no news in the article, nothing, nada, zilch. There is still an unsolved mysterious murder of poor Seth Rich. There is no discernible motive for the crime. Wikileaks took action that indicated that there might be a link between Rich and the email leak. There are purported statements from always unnamed sources who point the finger at the Russians, but those are hard to accept. After all, the big move by the Democrats in response to their emails that showed they rigged the system for Hillary over Bernie was to start discussing the Russians. There are probably 100 Democrat sources in DC who would only too gladly tell reporters that the Russians were involved just to keep that story going. None of that explains the Rich murder, though.
To me, it's strange that a DNC staffer gets murdered and the effort is not to find his killer but rather to twist the story so it doesn't splash onto the Clinton campaign.
