“The truth is stranger than fiction” (as attributed to Mark Twain)
Conspiracy theorists have long thought that Seth Rich’s death was an assassination facilitated by the Deep State — a Machiavellian hit by the Deep State to cover for its operation known as Russian Collusion because Rich could expose it as false from the beginning. It was an actual “Spy vs. Spy” episode, straight out of Mad Magazine — except our side went full Stasi against the American people. There were the DOJ, FBI, CIA, ODNI, and others in the Intelligence Community (I.C.), except NSA director Adm. Mike Rogers (See more).
With the bombshell release of documents (and here) by DNI director Tulsi Gabbard and more releases every day, Rich’s death at the hands of the Deep State is no longer a conspiracy theory. I agree with Director Gabbard’s conclusion: Accountability and the rule of law must be restored.
Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people. …
Their egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic. No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again. The American people’s faith and trust in our democratic republic and therefore the future of our nation depends on it.
Gabbard spoke at the regular White House press conference. CNN cut away while Gabbard was speaking. Why? Fraud by omission on a significant news story of the day? The legacy media are up to their usual spin. Politico was less biased than the rest so far. Politico does have a link to the documents.
The circumstances surrounding the death of Rich are well known to the American Thinker readers. I will limit this piece to new information. I did glean one thing from these releases that is significant to the death of Seth Rich, which I’ll explain soon.
METRO DC police quickly attributed Rich’s death to a street robbery gone bad. Any Deep State involvement was swiftly dismissed as a fantasy of conspiracy theorists by the authorities and echoed by the legacy media.
Attorney Ty Clevenger and I have made many attempts to bring information about Rich’s death to the congressional oversight committees. The silence has been deafening. I empathize with A.G. Pam Bondi and FBI director Kash Patel. Especially since the DOJ, FBI, ODNI, and CIA are principals in this conspiracy — who destroy, withhold, hide, curate, and create evidence under the guise of classification, ongoing criminal investigations, or national security from the American people.
The absence of information leads to speculation and conspiracy theories. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (ret.), a victim of egregious lawfare by the Deep State, is beginning to wonder. Gen. Flynn knew too much, as likely did Rich. People have little awareness of what it takes to put together a good criminal case, let alone prosecute it, especially when the DOJ is in the tank. People’s expectations often stem from fictional accounts in movies and TV, where everything typically happens within 60 to 90 minutes.
