Geezuz gawd, it's taken them long enough--and these are people who think they're always on top of things.  One alas suspects they're rather more buried under heaps of bull droppings.

Anyway, about time.

FWIW… 'Seth Rich: Inside the Killing of the DNC Staffer' – NewsWeek

Seth Rich, a normally upbeat and much-loved 27-year-old computer-voting specialist at the DNC, was murdered in July near Bloomingdale, a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood in a once-blighted area of Washington, D.C.

<snip>

It was closing time at Lou’s City Bar in a trendy neighborhood of northwest Washington, D.C. when Seth Rich drained the last of his Bell’s Two Hearted ales and headed out into the muggy night. At 2:30 am on July 10 , the torrid heat that had gripped the city for weeks had eased slightly, with temperatures slipping into the low 70s. Maybe it was the relative cool that prompted him to walk through several dark, dicey blocks to his apartment in Bloomingdale, a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood a mile away. Or maybe he thought the walk would do him some good after venting to his longtime bartender about his unsuccessful efforts to reconcile his love life and 12-hour days at the Democratic National Committee.

Whatever the reason, Rich, 27, a normally upbeat computer-voting specialist at the DNC, would soon leave family and friends grieving. And his decision to walk that night would become part of a wild election year conspiracy theory that once again portrayed Hillary Clinton and the Democrats as murderous criminals.

At 4:19 am, police responded to the sound of gunfire in Bloomingdale and found him lying mortally wounded at a dark intersection a block and a half from a red brick rowhouse he shared with friends. He had multiple gunshot wounds in his back. About an hour and 40 minutes later, he died at a local hospital, possibly after identifying his assailants to the police.

The cops suspected Rich was a victim of an attempted robbery, one of many that had plagued the neighborhood. Except for an apparent anomaly: police found his wallet, credit cards and cellphone on his body. The band of his wristwatch was torn, but not broken. And that was enough to fire up the right-wing Twitterverse with yet another round of Clinton conspiracy theories, this one claiming that Rich was murdered—at dawn—as he was on his way to sing to the FBI about damning internal DNC emails. Such sinister notions might have evaporated from their own weightlessness, had not Julian Assange tossed a conspiracy grenade into the affair a few weeks later. The Wikileaks impresario, still penned up in the Ecuador’s London embassy dodging a Swedish rape allegation, announced he was offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to a conviction in the Rich case. He hinted darkly that the slain man had been a source in the embarrassing 30,000 internal DNC emails his organization had recently published. The fallout had led to the firing of top Democratic officials.

“What are you suggesting?” a started interviewer from Dutch television asked him.

“I am suggesting,” Assange said…

1. I wonder how many DC detectives are working this case?

I also wonder how many murders of upper-middle-class young white men in DC are unsolved over the ast, oh say, 10 years? Any?

Why no interest from the media? Not salacious enough? Nobody wants to watch reports about a young man gunned down with no evident motive?

I guess all that shit is above our pay grades.

2. Classic "Nothin to see here" narrative. Sheer coincidence.

Except I’m not buying it.

<<<hasn't ever bought it, but wonders why the jackass primitives have taken so long, so very long, to turn around and notice it.

Judy grasswire, the most intrepid investigator on the internet, belongs to Manny's jackass message board; how come she's not in the forefront checking this out?

4. Haven't read the whole article, but I see the 'liberal' use of the words

Conspiracy theories so I’m guessing it’s intended to insinuate that any QUESTIONS about this tragic death have to be CTs.

Actually ANY theory at this point is just that, the cops don’t know what happened and neither does anyone else, other than whoever is responsible.

But, if it was a robbery, then he wouldn’t have been left with his wallet etc.

I read a more neutral report somewhere this week that said there was a gap in the time that he left the bar and the time he was murdered of about an hour and a half. And no one seems to know what he was doing during that time.

8. Sounds like a twin killing by Newsweek

They get to beat down on any critics of the Clinton machine and get to beat down on Assange.  Doesn’t get any better than that for the MSM corporate toadies.

Facts that get associated by "right wingers" are thereby magically unfacted. So it's taken weeks of rumination for this to float to the top of their suspicions.

Or maybe they sobered up a bit wile cleaning their or taking out their empties and restocking their beer fridge or liquor cabinet.

The left never waivers because it is their religion.

Well, you know, sir, what my gripe is here.

The Bernie primitives for months and months insisted they had the goods on Messalina Agrippina; all of her lies, chicanery, dishonesty, cheating, and sundry crimes, but of course while still hanging around Skins's island, they couldn't specify them.

But they had the goods, they assured us.

So when they got their own "safe place," Manny's jackass message board, I thought, "good--now they'll expose everything, and all we'll have to do is sit back and read.  The opposition's doing the opposition research for us....."

That however never happened.  The jackass primitives have ignored just about every possible Hillary scandal and Achilles' heel, instead yakking about things that have nothing to do with Messalina Agrippina.

It's as if they're purposely avoiding bringing up dirt on her.....and so we have to do it ourselves.

I'm now thinking the jackass primitives' indignation about Messalina Agrippina is faked, feigned; they really want her to win, and will break their necks to make that happen.

Bah, humbug.
