Rich's poor family: LINK

quote:

The story said Wheeler had made the claim Wikileaks had been in contact with Rich. It added that a federal investigator, who it said had spoken on the condition of anonymity, corroborated it.

But Tuesday afternoon, Wheeler told CNN he had no evidence to suggest Rich had contacted Wikileaks before his death.

Wheeler instead said he only learned about the possible existence of such evidence through the reporter he spoke to for the FoxNews.com story.

Democrats already killed their son, they don't want to die too.

Try reading the story. Fox's sole source for the original story said he got his info from a fox reporter.

The best source is Assange, you could tell Seth was a source. Maybe not the entire DNC source, but one of them...,

The Rich family said, they were unaware of any news evidence earlier today. This is very sad that they have to go through something like this.

The DC police have the laptop and have investigated it identifying no incriminating evidence based on reports.

Law enforcement officials have said that Rich’s computer and email activity have been examined and suggest nothing that would connect him to WikiLeaks — which, 12 days after Rich’s death, published 20,000 emails that embarrassed former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and the DNC, and forced the ouster of its chairwoman.

Except FoxNews and other right wing news site have been foaming at the mouth over this story. Think this detective was exploiting these people's kid to get his name out there.

OH, NO, NO, NO, my friend

Kim Dotcom has come forward with this.

So, this is actually a NAMED sauce. Which is MUCH more than anything the mainstream has provided.

Anonymous sources are bad, and this illustrates why.

Same as the Trump "Pissgate" Dossier.
