Update: Julian struck a nerve BREAKING: Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was Wikileaks’ source, Assange admits in interview

UPDATE: The Russians are at it again. NYT sure know how to spin a yarn.

WikiLeaks, the group that put out the D.N.C. emails publicly last month, interjected itself into the hacking case again this week when it offered a $20,000 reward for information on the shooting death last month of a former D.N.C. staff member, Seth Rich, outside his Washington home. His killing fueled speculation on the internet that he was somehow tied to the hacked emails, but the police have not given any credence to that speculation.

The WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, has made it clear that he would like to hurt Mrs. Clinton’s bid for the White House, opposing her candidacy on policy and personal grounds. He has hinted that he has more material about the presidential campaign that he could release.

***********************************************************
I just posted this, but feel that the title of the video is far beyond speculation. As for the material, I think, after watching the video that "admits" it way too strong. Implies, suggests, maybe. To me, this video is not surprising, with the Wikileaks reward for information about this particular murder. I guess, stay tuned. I hope that Equadorian embassy is well-guarded. The interview is said to be from the Dutch program Nieuwsuur.

The way the Clinton campaign officially pushed the "Russians did it" claim made no sense unless it was to inoculate against a story even more damaging than the emails themselves.

So, even if he wasn't the lead attorney, he embarrassed Hillary in a big way, or at least was the face of that embarrassment.

Cause of death has still not been released, and staffers responding to inquiries have been described as "Rattled".

I had missed this. When I lived in Manhattan, pushing people - known or unknown as a "prank" - off the platform before incoming subway trains was a thing. Suicide by train was actually pretty rare . . .

I would take out the quotes around his name. There is no question about his name really being Seth Rich. I know that's how they had it in the video, but there's no reason to use quotes around his name as if it may or may not be what he is really called.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

elenacarlena's picture

According to Snopes, almost every section of it has something inaccurate about it. I think it would be more powerful if it was fixed.

Per Snopes, who appear to have verified facts with multiple sources: Seth Rich was on his way home, not to meet the FBI at 4 AM when he was shot. John Ashe was scheduled for pretrial motions in his own corruption trial that had nothing to do with Clinton (although he did know her). Victor Thorn was a Holocaust denier whose books were not that influential, who committed suicide. And Shawn Lucas was a process server, not an attorney. I saw the video of the service; in it, he says the name of the process serving company he works for.

and thanks for clearing up some of flaws in the captioning.

Posted basically because it summarizes the Clinton connected people who have suspiciously died recently. If new information changes the details, so be it.

However, I would caution you as well on blanket statements like this:

Victor Thorn was a Holocaust denier whose books were not that influential, who committed suicide.

Not sure how you make that statement with such certainty.

Or this:

John Ashe was scheduled for pretrial motions in his own corruption trial that had nothing to do with Clinton (although he did know her)

The DA denied a direct connection, but there are many reasons he would have an incentive to do so, including the possibility that the defendant was looking to plea bargain his own case by providing info on Hillary in matters not directly related to that specific corruption allegation.

to the entire paragraph (now edited to change my punctuation to better reflect that), although the Google search that took me to Snopes showed no reliable evidence to the contrary. I did happen to have independent evidence that Shawn Lucas was just the process server from an earlier posted video. But the rest is Snopes.

Again per Snopes, they spoke with both family and friends of Victor Thorn, all of whom verified that it was suicide. That a man who wrote hateful screeds about others might also hate himself does not surprise me.

As for John Ashe, there is a right-wing video circulating that claims he was going to testify against a foreign national with ties to Clinton. So perhaps there is an indirect link, although if I wanted to state that with assurance I would find more sources. When it comes to right-wing media, my motto is "Distrust and multiply verify".

Snopes isn't exactly authoritative either.

So perhaps there is an indirect link, although if I wanted to state that with assurance I would find more sources.

Perfectly reasonable that Ashe would both know a lot about Clintonian shenanigans and have a good reason to want to divulge them. Whether there is actually a proven connection at this stage doesn't mean the speculation is unwarranted.

Smoking guns are rarely found on a website.

information. Factcheck.org checked them out, http://www.factcheck.org/2009/04/snopescom/

As they note, never take one source as gospel. But when they provide the source of their claims, you can backtrack as desired. From factcheck:

The e-mail’s last paragraph advises that everyone who goes to Snopes.com for “the bottom line facts” should “proceed with caution.” We think that’s terrific advice, not just in connection with material on Snopes but for practically anything a reader finds online — including articles on FactCheck.org. The very reason we list our sources (as does Snopes.com) and provide links is so that readers can check things out for themselves.

tend to be mainstream media outlets, which are no more authoritative these days than anybody else.

Here's a good example about the Seddique Mateen incident.

They cite Mateen's non-denial denial and NPR's reporting of a statement from the Clinton campaign denying that he had been invited.

They then throw in a couple of 'we found no evidence' claims, which are not probative of anything, as padding and call it a day.

(Makes you wonder how hard they really looked.)

Wikileaks notwithstanding, if you are looking for hard evidence of a conspiracy, you probably won't find it published on a website like Snopes. But that doesn't mean you should discount the connections merely because they are not spelled out in black and white.

usually find them reliable. If you don't, it's no skin off my nose. I own no Snopes stock.

But if you're believing what you read on right-wing conspiracy sites, I think you will eventually find that most of that information is untrue. They may have a little better info at present because of the Clinton misinformation campaign. Just, like I said, multiply verify.

And I'm not discounting anything "merely because they're not spelled out in black and white". I don't find conspiracy theories all that interesting, frankly, to spend a lot of time on them. I attributed my comments to Snopes to provide that info FWIW, and admit that later info on John Ashe suggests there may be more to his trial than Snopes asserted.

As for the "terrorist's father" article, I would like to know how people are chosen to sit behind Clinton. It seems extremely reckless with her safety if they truly do not know who those people are. It's good that they went to the father and the DNC. But they could have done a better job there, explaining how it happened, I think. Maybe they or someone will update after the DNC and/or Secret Service completes their own investigation.

I think we've made it to 1984 and double speak propaganda. The MSM is so obviously in the tank with the Clintons, and turned their attack team out on T-rump. Kinda makes me think he's the less dangerous one...unless they are in league - which not beyond the pale of believable.
