“They replied to a message I sent to them two days ago. They asked for my lawyers to get in touch with their lawyers. I have forwarded the email to my lawyers and asked them to get in touch with the family to arrange for a conference call with the Rich family lawyers.” — Kim Dotcom
I work in DC in politics and here's my take on Seth Rich: He was killed by someone out of revenge, likely tied to the racial and police violence that was occurring around that time. That part of DC it's possible that someone saw him and just said "eye for an eye" and shot him.
No doubt he has a huge axe to grind against Democrats but I'm finding it intriguing because I can't quite see how making such story up could help him this time. If he lies, this will piss off the US government, Democrats, Trump fans and Hilary fans at the same time, which basically means no love for him anywhere in the US. And he has the Megaupload case to fight.
That's certainly possible, but at this point we are talking shit just about as bad as what the craziest nuts are accusing Hilary of. Shit people would keep digging in forever.
And fwiw, Dotcom's statements says he is willing to provide testimony under the condition of a safe passage back and forth. I sincerely hope that if he now backtracks from that and demands more his reputation will be done for. Though I guess we can now change it to "he lies and then they decide to grant him immunity".
There has been absolutely zero concrete evidence presented that indicates it was Seth Rich. I fail to see how this is anything more than a conspiracy theory being promoted by members of the right wing media in order to distract from the current political attacks against Trump at the expense of the family of a man who was senselessly murdered.
Julian Assange is offering a 100K reward for information about the murder. A PI hired by the Rich family has stated publicly the police were told to stand down and that sources available to Fox News told him Seth Rich had been communicating with wikileaks. Kim Dotcom -- well you can click the link at the top of the page yourself.
I understand this is all circumstantial evidence and hearsay, but I would like for you to explain which of these people are "members of the right wing media."
Basically you're telling me that all of these people are conspiring to distract from Trump conspiring with Russia. I'm pretty sure you have the conspiracy theories today.

This has since been retracted by Fox since it wasn't true and was made up by the reporter and the PI.
Wheres the comment by Fox saying that the PI made this up? Their page last time I checked just had a sentence saying it did not meet their level of scrutiny or something along those lines.
I see it more as Assange distancing himself so that nobody later says he outed a WL source in case the allegations turn out true. If anything, the Nieuwsuur interview in August was more of a wink wink but still hardly qualifies as evidence.
Yes, hardly, because there is little chance that Assange is going to confirm this.
We don't even know for sure if he actually knows something or simply pushes for investigation of this murder solely because other leakers are worried that this conspiracy may possibly be real and that the same could happen to them.
Or because his room in the Ecuadorian embassy is too small and he would prefer to live in Moscow with Snowden /s
