Seth Rich: The Murder Washington Doesn’t Want Solved

Jack Cashill:

On the face of things, the July 2016 murder of Seth Rich had intrigue enough for a full season of House of Cards.

Unknown assailants gun down the young DNC data analyst at 4 A.M. on a Washington, D.C., street and take nothing.  Two weeks later, international man of mystery Julian Assange strongly suggests on Dutch TV that Rich was his source for the purloined DNC emails then roiling the Democratic Party and offers a $20,000 reward to find the killer.

Three days before the November election, Assange reportedly tells liberal media analyst Ellen Ratner that Rich was indeed his source.  Days after Trump’s inauguration, legendary investigative journalist Sy Hersh cites an FBI report confirming Assange’s claim.  Later that year, DNC honcho Donna Brazile dedicates her book Hacks to Rich and wonders out loud whether the Russians had “played some part in his unsolved murder.”

Despite the stakes — the Trump presidency hinged on the investigation’s outcome — there was to be no TV series about Rich’s life and death, no movie, no serious books, not even a single episode of Unsolved Mysteries or 48 Hours.  Incredibly, no major publication or network save for Fox News has even attempted to resolve the still unsolved murder, and Fox execs rather wish they hadn’t.

To understand how a story this potentially explosive could be suppressed for so long, it is necessary to understand one basic fact of Washington life: Donald Trump received just 4.1 percent of the District’s vote in the 2016 election.  Trump’s election disrupted short-term strategies and long-term expectations in every one of the capital’s major institutions, local and federal, public and private, the legal community among them. more

  1. I agree with all of the above but what can you do when his own family doesn’t care?

    The police are crooks who protect the powerful and the family sues anyone who suggests anything other than the party line

  2. Great article and a sad but true statement on the filth that is DC. I don’t think the Rich family do not care, I believe they care deeply for Seth’s surviving brother and any other family members that may be accidentally “murdered”. If the Mafia had contracts out on you and anyone you cared about, how eager would you be to play prairie dog?
    I love that Cashill referred to Trump as a “circuit breaker” since that is the bottom line of why they both hate and fear him.

  3. Hey, let’s not forget Phil Haney Obama ordered him to scrub the Muslim and terrorists sites he knew the terrorists in California and was getting ready to publish, but he was shot to death February 22 in California.

  4. According to Hersh, Trump was a “circuit breaker,” one who made a whole lot of enemies. Those enemies, as we have seen, would go to great lengths to discredit Trump and anyone associated with him. The pressure they can bring to bear on even those who want to tell the truth remains formidable.

    Let us kill them all.
