From the documents Gabbard released this past weekend:

We assess that Russian intelligence services were behind the compromises of the DNC and DCCC networks and of email accounts from members of Congress, state political parties, a voter registration organization, and seven other US political organizations. We have high
confidence in our assessment

We assess that the Russian services probably orchestrated at least some of the disclosures of DNC and DCCC documents from June to August 2016. Our assessment is based on the timing of the disclosures and the fact that Russian intelligence was in possession of the leaked information from both the DNC and DCCC that the online persona “Guccifer 2.0” claimed to have provided.

DNC INTRUSION
The US Intelligence Community has high confidence in its attribution of
the intrusions into the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) networks, based on the forensic evidence identified by a private cyber-firm and the IC’s review and understanding of cyber activities by the Russian Government.

Most IC agencies assess with moderate confidence that Russian services
probably orchestrated at least some of the disclosures of US political information. Our level of confidence is based on the timing and that Russian intelligence was in possession of leaked information from both the DNC and DCCC as was subsequently leaked by Guccifer 2.0, the WikiLeaks website, and the DCLeaks website. In addition, the disclosures of White House e-mails by the DCLeaks website appear to be consistent with the tactics and motivations of the Russian Government.

The GRU probably began cyber operations aimed at the US election by March 2016, The GRU was preparing a spearphishing operation to target Secretary Clinton’s staff and the Democratic Party, other political targets, foreign governments, and NGO employees.
-We assess that the campaign, which ran from March through July 2016, resulted in the compromise of the personal e-mail accounts of Democratic Party officials and political figures, By May, GRU cyber infrastructure had connected to the DNC and exfiltrated large volumes of data,

Public Disclosures of Russian-Collected Data.
We assess the GRU used both the Guccifer 2.0 persona and DCLeaks.com operationally to release US data obtained in GRU cyber operations publicly and in exclusives to media outlets. We have high confidence that Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks.com published GRUhacked data, but moderate confidence that they were under direct GRU control
. We base our judgments on several factors: the information that was disclosed was information we assess the GRU accessed as part of its operations against US political targets; the initial data leak occurred the day after the US cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike publicized Russia’s intrusion into the DNC; and signals intelligence placed the operators of Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks.com in Russia.

We assess that the GRU was directed to pass material it acquired from the DNC to WikiLeaks. We have high confidence in this judgment. We assess that the Russian Government also passed to WikiLeaks material collected on a senior Democratic Party official. We lack insight into whether WikiLeaks was witting of Russian involvement in either case and whether the Russian Government controlled the timing and content of releases.

Repeating a lie doesn't make it true no matter how shrilly you squeal. It was a local download. That is fact, not theory.

While it's been fashionable for a while among the ex-Bernie Bro contingent of MAGA to agitate for justice for Seth Rich and paint him as some sort of patriot, the majority of MAGA and Republicans see him for what he was (a dyed in the wool leftst activist who would have been glad to see us all in camps) and see his murder as an intra-Democrat-Party squabble, which it was.

Therefore, most of them really don't give a shlt. Sure, if it can help bring down the cabal, go for it and investigate. But they're not emotionally connected to the case.

He was simply a homo who got pissed that Hillary stole the nomination from Bernie and tried to expose her, and got whacked for his troubles. In the eyes of most of the right, we have bigger fish to fry right now.

You are correct but he will never admit it.

He believes that the people who killed Seth Rich would never fabricate a fake article to cover their crime.

No need in arguing with him.

Next cycle straight up take the will of the people out and install the next puppet in front of the whole world.

Since Putin owned the Clintons and Podesta, why would he do something to damage his retainers.

Podesta's password was "password."

Hillary's "home brew server" was entirely compromised by the Chinese and probably Russia, Iran and North Korea.

WASHINGTON — In the summer of 2016, Russian intelligence agents secretly planted a fake report claiming that Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was gunned down by a squad of assassins working for Hillary Clinton, giving rise to a notorious conspiracy theory that captivated conservative activists and was later promoted from inside President Trump’s White House, a Yahoo News investigation has found.

Russia’s foreign intelligence service, known as the SVR, first circulated a phony “bulletin” — disguised to read as a real intelligence report —about the alleged murder of the former DNC staffer on July 13, 2016, according to the U.S. federal prosecutor who was in charge of the Rich case. That was just three days after Rich, 27, was killed in what police believed was a botched robbery while walking home to his group house in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C., about 30 blocks north of the Capitol.

The purported details in the SVR account seemed improbable on their face: that Rich, a data director in the DNC’s voter protection division, was on his way to alert the FBI to corrupt dealings by Clinton when he was slain in the early hours of a Sunday morning by the former secretary of state’s hit squad.

Yet in a graphic example of how fake news infects the internet, those precise details popped up the same day on an obscure website, whatdoesitmean.com, that is a frequent vehicle for Russian propaganda. The website’s article, which attributed its claims to “Russian intelligence,” was the first known instance of Rich’s murder being publicly linked to a political conspiracy.

“To me, having a foreign intelligence agency set up one of my decedents with lies and planting false stories, to me that’s pretty outrageous,” said Deborah Sines, the former assistant U.S. attorney in charge of the Rich case until her retirement last year. “Maybe other people don’t think it’s that outrageous. I did ... once it became clear to me that this was coming from the SVR, then that triggers a lot of very serious [questions about] ‘What do I do with this?’”

The Russian effort to exploit Rich’s tragic death didn’t stop with the fake SVR bulletin. Over the course of the next two and a half years, the Russian government-owned media organizations RT and Sputnik repeatedly played up stories that baselessly alleged that Rich, a relatively junior-level staffer, was the source of Democratic Party emails that had been leaked to WikiLeaks. It was an idea first floated by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who on Aug. 9, 2016, announced a $20,000 reward for information about Rich’s murder, saying — somewhat cryptically — that “our sources take risks.”

At the same time, online trolls working in St. Petersburg, Russia, for the Internet Research Agency (IRA) — the same shadowy outfit that conducted the Russian social media operation during the 2016 election — aggressively boosted the conspiracy theories. IRA-created fake accounts, masquerading as those of American citizens or political groups, tweeted and retweeted more than 2,000 times about Rich, helping to keep the bogus claims about his death in the social media bloodstream, according to an analysis of a database of Russia troll accounts by Yahoo News.

Speaking publicly about the case for the first time, Sines, the former prosecutor, said that the Russian conspiracy-mongering vastly complicated her efforts to solve the murder by forcing her and the Washington, D.C., police department to investigate a blizzard of false allegations in order to make sure there was nothing to any of them. “To waste your time investigating BS is just horrible,” said Sines.

In her efforts to better understand where the conspiracy theories were coming from, Sines used her security clearance to access copies of two SVR intelligence reports about Seth Rich that had been intercepted by U.S. intelligence officials. She later wrote a memo documenting the Russian role in fomenting the conspiracy theories that she sent to the Justice Department’s national security division, and personally briefed special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors on her findings.

“It appeared to me that it was a very clear campaign to deflect an ongoing federal criminal investigation,” Sines said. “So then you have to look at why is Russia doing this? … It’s not rocket science before you add it up and you go, ‘Oh, if Seth is the leaker to WikiLeaks — it doesn’t have anything to do with the Russians. So of course Russia’s interest in doing this is incredibly transparent.” The Russian strategy, Sines said, was diabolically simple: “Let’s blame it on Seth Rich. He’s a very convenient target.”
