Pulitzer-winning investigative reporter: Murdered DNC staffer was WikiLeaks source

AM: Famed journalist Seymour Hersh has added new fuel to the speculation that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was the source of internal emails that were published by WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign.

WikiLeaks brought attention to the Pulitzer Prize-winning former New York Times reporter’s comments, which were captured on tape.

Claiming he’s received the information from an “FBI report,” Hersh says the federal agency was able to get into Rich’s computer, which DC police were allegedly unable to do.

 

“There are no DNC or Podesta emails that exist beyond May 21st or 22nd, last email from either one of those groups. And so, what the report says is that some time in late Spring … he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that’s in his computer,” Hersh says in the recording.

After acknowledging he’s met WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and that he tries to stay away from him, Hersh says, “they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents — of emails, of juicy emails, from the DNC.”

Hersh claims Rich “offered a sample, an extensive sample, I’m sure dozens of emails, and said, ‘I want money.’

“Later, WikiLeaks did get the password, he had a DropBox, a protected DropBox,” adding, “They got access to the DropBox.”

“WikiLeaks got access before he was killed,” Hersh says.

In the recording, Hersh pins the blame on former CIA Director John Brennan for the “American disinformation campaign.”

  1. If true, how much of this info might correlate with what the Mohammedan IT guy got his hands on thanks to DWS? TWO sources of information that must not see daylight, potentially destructive to the Monoparty? One could only hope.

  2. Seymour Hersh is part of the discrediting of the Seth Rich conspiracy theory. He never fails to muddy the waters whenever he weighs in. They turned Rod Wheeler with that ridiculous lawsuit and Trump/Fox collusion narrative yesterday, and when Hersh fails to deliver, they’ll proclaim the case is closed and old news.

    Which is not to say it’s over by any means. This thing is too big to hide. It’s just that Hersh will not provide the evidence he claims to have.

  3. Just like the girl who found the muslim’s penis accidentally in her vagina Mr. Hersh may find a snub nose revolver accidentally in his mouth in a discharged state.

    Don’t cross ’em. don’t boss ’em don’t leak on ’em or you find yourself in an isolated ark down the river dead.

  4. If Bernie Sanders were a journalist, he’d be Seymour Hersh. Hersh has been living off of My Lai for almost fifty years.

    The whole Rod Wheeler deal yesterday was to get the Seth Rich scandal under Mueller’s umbrella. Watch that start to happen this week. Hersh is but a squirrel.

  5. the CIA’s “Agent Scowly” Brennan also ordered the illegal wiretapping of Sharyl Atkisson’s phones and illegal hacking of her work & personal computers. He should go to jail.

  6. Assange has made clear Seth Rich was A source for Wikileaks, although possibly not the ONLY source for the DNC.

    1. Soon after Rich’s murder, Assange posted a $20k open reward for any information/witnesses.
    2. Assange repeatedly posted that Wikileaks policy is to never reveal any source, even posthumously, to protect future sources.
    While making clear Rich was indeed a source.
    3. Assange has also said, unceasingly, that Russia is NOT the source for either Podesta/Hilary or DNC emails.
    Trump, WH and patriot media need to keep reminding the public that Wikileaks has already ruled Russia out.
