Now I can't actually identify any of these people, but if this is real, the consequences could have Hillary and Obumma boarding a jet to a non extradition country, tonight.

This is getting funnier by the minute

Hi vince
 
It's highly suspicious but they need a weapon. And they need to put Awan at the crime scene.

Actually Wasserman Putz and Hillary are already both implicated, and as for what you say, tell that to the thousands of people in the can on circumstantial evidence.

I am getting my orange surfer shirt ready for Hillary's suicide and quiet side exit to Borneo
 
Glad that you read the news kid..................

Can you tell us again that Trump will never be the President

becuase you even were shitty enough to work with a commy dictator to fuck this country

In didnt know that at the time huh



cheating is not winning

Conspiracy theories
Origins
Genesis
The murder stoked right-wing conspiracy theories that arose days after Rich's death,[63][64][65] including an unsubstantiated claim that his murder was connected to the DNC email leak of 2016.[4] A post on Twitter before Rich's memorial service, originated the idea that he was killed related to a political assassination.[63] Subsequently the conspiracy theory was publicized on Reddit and then on the website Heat Street, later popularized by Donald Trump political adviser Roger Stone via his Twitter account.[63] Reddit users attempted to tie the homicide to prior "Clinton Body Count" conspiracy theories.[64] On July 13, 2016, conspiracy website WhatDoesItMean.com promoted a similar conspiracy theory.[65]
WikiLeaks statements
Assistant Police Chief Peter Newsham said the police had no information suggesting a connection between Rich's death and data obtained by WikLeaks.[2] Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, seemed to imply a connection when, unbidden, he talked about the case on a Dutch news program.[30] People who worked with Rich said he was not an expert computer hacker helping to leak information to foreigners. Andrew Therriault, a data scientist who had mentored Rich, said although he had recently been working as a programmer, this "wasn't his background", and another co-worker said Rich was very upset when he heard hackers associated with Russian intelligence services had broken into the DNC computers and could be interfering with the election.[30]
Spread by social media and right wing
These conspiracy theories were promoted by Mike Cernovich, Sean Hannity, Geraldo Rivera, Kim Dotcom, Paul Joseph Watson, Newt Gingrich, Jack Posobiec, and others.[66][67][68]
The same venues that fomented the false Pizzagate conspiracy theory helped to promulgate the Seth Rich murder conspiracy theories,[69][70][11] and each shared similar features.[71][72][73] Both were promoted by individuals ascribing to far-right politics,[74] and by campaign officials and individuals appointed to senior-level national security roles by Donald Trump.[75][76][77] After prior coordination on Facebook, each theory was spread on Twitter by automated bots using a branded hashtag, with the goal of becoming a trending topic.[69] Both the Pizzagate conspiracy theory and the Seth Rich murder conspiracy theory were spread in the sub reddit forum promoting Donald Trump, called "The Donald".[78] In both conspiracy theories, the promoters attempted to shift the burden of proof — asking others to attempt to disprove their claims, without citing substantiated evidence.[52] Slate called the claims about Seth Rich: a "PizzaGate-like conspiracy theory surrounding Rich’s death",[79] The Huffington Post described it as "the 'alt-right' idiocy of Pizzagate all over again",[73] NPR's David Folkenflik said Fox News coverage of it "evokes the pizza-gate terrible allegations utterly unfounded",[80] and Margaret Sullivan wrote for The Washington Post: "The Seth Rich lie has become the new Comet Ping Pong ... Crazy, baseless and dangerous."[81]
Debunking
The conspiracy theories have been debunked by law enforcement,[5][6] as well as by fact-checking websites like PolitiFact.com,[6][8] Snopes.com,[9] and FactCheck.org.[5]
The Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia described the murder as related to a bungled attempted at theft.[5] Police further debunked claims by Rod Wheeler, and made a statement saying: "the assertions put forward by Mr. Wheeler are unfounded."[5] The FBI told PolitiFact.com that the MPD was investigating the homicide.[8]
A representative of the Rich's family members, Brad Bauman, disputed the notion of conspiracy theorists that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was involved in looking into the homicide.[5] Bauman stated: "The FBI is not now and has never been a party to this investigation."[5]
FactCheck.org analyzed statements by Newt Gingrich related to the conspiracy theory, where Gingrich said Rich "apparently was assassinated" subsequent to "having given WikiLeaks something like … 53,000 [DNC] emails and 17,000 attachments".[5] FactCheck.org determined this claim was "unsupported" and determined "there's no evidence for his claim."[5]
PolitiFact.com rated the assertion Rich gave emails to WikiLeaks as a "baseless claim".[6] They called the claim "an unfounded conspiracy theory".[6] PolitiFact.com analyzed the claims by Gingrich and rated their false nature as "Pants on Fire!"[6] PolitiFact.com concluded: "Gingrich and others are talking about an unfounded conspiracy theory as if it's a matter of fact. It is far from it. We rate his claim Pants on Fire."[6] In a separate analysis, PolitiFact.com concluded: "There's no evidence there's any link between Rich and WikiLeaks. The FBI has indirectly denied investigating the case, which Washington police consider a robbery gone wrong."[8]
Snopes.com looked into the matter and stated: "We were able to confirm the FBI is not investigating Rich's murder — it is an MPD investigation... All claims made by Mr. Wheeler are false and take fake news to a whole new level. The family deserves better and everyday MPD continues to work diligently to solve this case."[9] Snopes rated the claim "DNC staffer Seth Rich sent 'thousands of leaked e-mails' to WikiLeaks before he was murdered." as "False".[9]
The fabrications were described as fake news and falsehoods by The New York Times.[10] The New York Times cited the conspiracy theories as an example of the persistence of false claims, concluding: "fake news dies hard".[10] The Los Angeles Times called the conspiracy theories "unsubstantiated rumors".[11]
The Washington Post cited the conspiracy theories as an example of the power of fake news to spread virally online.[12] The paper used the example as a case study of the persistence of fake news, and found that television news media can be a soft target for such false stories.[12] The Washington Post further found that the proliferation of fake news via Facebook had decreased, but remained powerful on Twitter due to spread via online bots.[12] They found that the conspiracy theories with the largest potential to spread on the Internet were those that held attraction for both the alt-right movements and the political left wing.[12] The Washington Post concluded that even if a particular false story had been sufficiently debunked, such fact-checking was unable to stop the spread of the falsehoods online.[12]
Fox News retracted reporting
Uncorroborated story
On May 15, 2017, Fox 5 DC (WTTG) reported the uncorroborated and later largely retracted[82] claims by Rod Wheeler, a Fox News contributor and former homicide detective, that there was evidence Seth Rich had contacted WikiLeaks and that law enforcement were covering this up;[83][82] claims that were never independently verified by Fox.[84] The next day, Fox News published a lead story on its website and provided extensive coverage on its cable news channel about what it said were Wheeler's uncorroborated claims about the murder of Seth Rich.[85][86][87] In reporting these claims, the Fox News report re-ignited conspiracy theories about the killing.[71][88][89] According to NPR, within a day of the original Fox report, "Google searches for Rich had overtaken searches for James Comey, even amid continuous news about the former FBI director's conversations with Trump."[52] The Washington Post noted Fox News chose to lead with this story at a time when most other media outlets were covering allegations President Trump leaked intelligence to Russian officials.[86]
Other news organizations revealed Wheeler was a Donald Trump supporter, a paid Fox News contributor, and according to NBC News had "developed a reputation for making outlandish claims, such as*one appearance*on Fox News in 2007 in which he warned that underground networks of pink pistol-toting lesbian gangs were raping young women".[88][90][4] The Washington Post noted it is "rare for a news organization to have such a close relationship with the people it is covering", as Wheeler was "playing three roles at once: as a Fox source, as a paid contributor to the network and as a supposedly independent investigator of the murder".[71] When Wheeler appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News shows, these multiple roles were not disclosed to viewers.[71] Seth Rich's family had hired Wheeler to investigate Rich's death; after Wheeler's Fox News interview on May 15, 2017, Brad Bauman, a communications professional and pro bono spokesman for the Rich family, said the family was asking Fox News and the Fox affiliate retract their reports and apologize for damaging their son's legacy.[4]
The family spokesperson, the Washington, D.C. police department, the Washington, D.C. mayor's office, the FBI, and law enforcement sources familiar with the case all disputed Wheeler's claims.[88][91] The family said, "We are a family who is committed to facts, not fake evidence that surfaces every few months to fill the void and distract law enforcement and the general public from finding Seth's murderers."[88] Bauman criticized Fox News for its reporting, saying he believed that the outlet was motivated by a desire to deflect attention from the Trump-Russia story: "I think there's a very special place in hell for people that would use the memory of a murder victim in order to pursue a political agenda."[9]
Later that day, Wheeler told CNN he had no evidence that Rich had contacted Wikileaks.[82] Wheeler claimed that Fox had presented his quotes misleadingly and that he only learned about the possible existence*of the evidence from a Fox News reporter.[82][52] Despite this, Sean Hannity's show and Fox & Friends continued to promote the conspiracy theory for the remainder of the week.[92][93] Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Geraldo Rivera took part in spreading the conspiracy.[93][94][95] Hannity had on his program Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, who said the organization filed Freedom of Information Act requests for documents from Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser, and from the Metropolitan Police.[96] Sean Hannity furthermore promoted the uncorroborated claims of Kim Dotcom, a New Zealand resident sought by the United States on fraud charges who claimed without evidence that Rich had been in contact with him before his death.[97] Fox News host Julie Roginsky was critical of the conspiracy theory peddlers, stating on Twitter and on her television show: "The exploitation of a dead man whose family has begged conspiracy theorists to stop is really egregious. Please stop."[98] Fox News was also criticized by conservative outlets, such as the Weekly Standard,[99] National Review,[100][101] and Red State,[102][103][104] and conservative columnists, such as Jennifer Rubin,[105] Michael Gerson,[106] and John Podhoretz.[107]
Cease and desist letter and retraction
On May 19, 2017, an attorney for the Rich family sent a cease and desist letter to Wheeler.[16]
Fox News issued a retraction of the story on May 23, 2017 and removed the original article, and did not apologize or specify what went wrong or how it did so.[17][108][109] After this, Sean Hannity, one of Fox News's biggest stars, who pushed the theory, remained unapologetic, saying "I retracted nothing" and "I am not going to stop trying to find the truth."[110][97][109] In their May 23 statement, Fox News said,
The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.[110]

Just proves that FOX news is fake news as well. The fact is that photos don't have the ability to lie...............

So go jump you doofus
 
As usual, nothing adds up if you stick to the media narrative.

Why would the Rich family invoke a cease and desist order when the killers are still on the loose and the murder is unsolved? If I'm one of the Rich family members I want to know more about Arwan and where he ended up the night Seth was murdered.

I would say the lack of curiosity about this in the media is stunning, but I've ceased to be stunned by it
