His Name Was Seth Rich: His Father Confirms He's Wikileaks' Source

New reports suggest that there's a legitimate confirmation in the case of Seth Rich that he was a source for Wikileaks, and it's coming from a close confidant to the family of the deceased DNC staffer, Ed Butowsky.

Despite millions of Americans already believing that Seth Rich was indeed the source of the now-infamous Democratic National Committee leaks for Wikileaks, to this day there has been zero official confirmation as to whether Seth Rich was the man behind the mask, who exposed the corruption of the DNC to the world.

The Seth Rich case in one of the most interesting and tragically unsolved political crimes of the century.

It has the potential to bring down titans inside of Washington, DC, and it reads like a crime novel with graphic details including subversion, infiltration, deception, and espionage. It's a thriller in this sense as well, from start to finish… But much like those novels, the ending has left most wanting more.

For Seth Rich's family: seeking that conclusion of preference means justice. Justice that has yet to be served and many fear will never be served.

Now, Ed Butowsky, the man who offered to pay for the legal services of the family of Seth Rich in hiring a private investigator, has given an exclusive interview to The Gateway Pundit in which he claims that Seth Rich's father has privately confirmed he knows his son was the Wikileaks source.

The Gateway Pundit says that in a phone interview on Thursday evening with Butowsky that he reflected upon a conversation he had with Joel Rich, the father of the murdered staffer Seth Rich, on December 17th of 2016 at 3:17 PM.

During that conversation, Joel Rich reportedly said that "We know what our sons did, but we just want to find Seth's killer."

"They know, we all know," Butowksy said to The Gateway Pundit.

The Seth Rich case has set off a firestorm in the media, with anyone who attempts to cover it, such as what happened with Sean Hannity at Fox News, being clearly threatened and attacked in an effort to cost them their jobs.

On social media, via Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and even YouTube, numerous users who would discuss the case would be censored, shadowbanned, or have their accounts suspended for even discussing the death of Seth Rich.

Such a coordinated effort to cover up the death of Seth Rich has been a source of "conspiracy realists," who've demanded that the truth about the death is Seth Rich come to light.

The most common belief is that Seth Rich was working for Wikileaks out of frustration for the crystal-clear sabotage by the DNC and multiple high-profile Democrats to ensure that their "coronated queen" Hillary Clinton won the Democratic Party's nomination for President despite the general public and the majority of the Democratic base supporting Senator Bernie Sanders for the Presidency.

While most Trump supporters also disavow Bernie Sanders, they've strongly supported the Investigations into Seth Rich, in part because Republicans, in general, are sympathetic with how the DNC screwed over Bernie Sanders voters, and also that many of the would-be Bernie voters ended up voting for President Trump out of spite for Hillary Clinton.

Not to mention, most Trump supporters are simply compassionate and patriotic Americans who support whistleblowers like Seth Rich, and his murder was an atrocity that is undoubtedly believed to have been ordered at either the highest levels of the DNC or perhaps in a joint-effort with the intelligence community's "Deep State," as a means of silencing whether Seth knew about the plot to force Hillary Clinton into office.

The Private Investigator who worked on behalf of the family of Seth Rich, Rod Wheeler, also claims that Seth Rich's brother attempted to stop him from accessing Seth's personal computer, in an audio clip posted to YouTube.

The efforts to silence Wheeler or discredit his work have also been coincidentally large, with media outlets and pundits alike disavowing his claims and hard work in the Seth Rich case.

During Wheeler's conversations with Aaron Rich, he claims that Aaron Rich also had Seth's cell phones but when he asked to examine them he was told by Aaron that, "We're not going to worry about the cell phones."

"All I want you to do is work on the botched robbery theory and that's it," Aaron Rich said to Wheeler. Wheeler said that Seth's father Joel "does not appear to have any hidden agenda."

Many people have questioned why the family of the staffer, including Aaron Rich, would try and make solving the case difficult for Wheeler.

Some have wondered if it were possible that there was a bribery which had taken place surrounding Aaron Rich, although there's no credible information to support those theories.

Others have theorized that the Rich family themselves were threatened by the "Clinton Crime Family,"a syndicate of crime that's encompassed decades worth of corruption and holds power in the media, the criminal underworld, and has compromising information on Numerous elected officials which have ensured support for the Clintons even during some of the most major political scandals in modern history.

"He said no, he said I have his computer, meaning him," Wheeler said to The Gateway Pundit. "I said, well can I look at it?…He said, what are you looking for? I said anything that could indicate if Seth was having problems with someone. He said no, I already checked it. Don't worry about it."

The Gateway Pundit also reports the fact that Aaron Rich works for the fifth-largest defense contractor on the planet, Northrup Grumman, as a lead software developer.

Northrup Grumman itself is surrounded by "conspiracy theories," such as that of the historic launch of the ZUMA Satellite by Space-X, which was destroyed upon launch.

Many mainstream media outlets, <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/zuma-spacex-northrop-grumman-lost-spy-satellite_us_5a550a74e4b003133ecd0641">including The Huffington Post</a>, and <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/9/16866806/spacex-zuma-mission-failure-northrop-grumman-classified-falcon-9-rocket">also The Verge</a>, have questioned of the destruction of the satellite was a hoax or not, in an effort to confuse and distract America's enemies.

The suggestion of such a hoax being successfully pulled off by Northrup Grumman, and it's far-reaching power to do so, have only further fanned the flames that someone working for them would have assisted in an alleged Seth Rich murder cover-up.

Again, those theories are from various researchers and YouTube content creators, and none of it can be corroborated with substantial evidence.

The lack of evidence surrounding the Seth Rich murder mystery, however, only makes those who distrust the DNC and the military industrial complex further believe that the murder was a major cover-up.

Award-winning journalist Sy Hersh has also confirmed that Seth Rich had made contact with Wikileaks, implying he may have been their source.

<div style="width:100%;text-align:center;margin:0 auto;"><iframe width="360" height="202" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/giuZdBAXVh0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

"There are no DNC or Podesta emails that exist beyond May 21 or 22, last email from either one of those groups. What the report says is that sometime in late Spring… he makes contact with WikiLeaks, that's on his computer," Hersh said. "Anyway, they found what he had done is that he had submitted a series of documents… of emails, of juicy emails, from the DNC."

"All I know is that he offered a sample, an extensive sample, I'm sure dozens of emails, and said ‘I want money.' Later, WikiLeaks did get the password, he had a DropBox, a protected DropBox," Hersh said. They got access to the DropBox."

Hersh alleges that Seth Rich was aware his safety was in question, and that he may have given access to the DropBox accounts to others close to him.

With those theories being uncorroborated we've nothing to run in except the word of Hersh, a highly respected individual, who has said that his words are the truth.

"The word was passed, according to the NSA report, he also shared this DropBox with a couple of friends, so that ‘if anything happens to me it's not going to solve your problems,'" Hersh added. "WikiLeaks got access before he was killed."

The Gateway Pundit also obtained an exclusive email between both Hersh and Butowsky, where Butowsky pleaded with Hersh to go before Congress and tell them what he knew about the case.

"I am curious why you haven't approached the house committee telling them what you were read by your FBI friend related to Seth Rich that you, in turn, read to me. Based on all your work, it appears that you care about the truth. Even though, as you said you couldn't get a second, shouldn't you tell them so they could use their powers to determine the truth?" Butowsky asked Hersh.

Hersh's response to the email is even more eerie. In the leaked audio, Hersh is heard saying that he knows these important details surrounding the passing of information from Seth. Yet, in the response email, he says he has "no inside knowledge" of the Seth Rich case.

"Ed, You have a lousy memory. I was not read anything by my FBI friend. I have no firsthand information and I really wish you would stop telling others information that you think I have. Please stop relaying information that you do not have right, and that I have no reason to believe is accurate…" Hersh wrote back to Butowsky.

This completely contradicts the audio recordings, which once again, has created more conspiracy surrounding the case.

Has Hersh been threatened himself? What does he know? Why does his email go against everything he says in the audio?

Butowsky fires back, defending his integrity and again asking questions for Hersh.

"I know it isn't first-hand knowledge but you clearly said, my memory is perfect, that you had a friend at the FBI who read/told you what was in the file on Seth Rich and I wonder why you aren't helping your country and sharing that information on who it was?" Butowsky said back to Hersh.

We know without a shadow of a doubt that FBI Agents such as the Chief of the Counterespionage Section of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Peter Strzok, were working inside the FBI both prior to, during, and after the election in an effort to protect Hillary Clinton.

It would be outlandish to assume similar tactics weren't used in regards to the Seth Rich case which would have been an enormous threat to Clinton and the DNC with what Seth Rich is said to have known.

The mystery surrounding Seth's death is still unsolved, and here in 2018, the demand is just as high as it's always been for some type of justice.

Ironically, <a href="https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/1/more-cover-up-questions/">The Washington Times</a> reported its own similar story in Thursday night titled, "More cover-up questions" in which they asked about the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Seth Rich.

"With the clearly unethical and most likely criminal behavior of the upper management levels of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) exposed by Chairman Devin Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee, there are two complementary areas that have been conveniently swept under the rug," The Washington Times reported.

"The first deals with the murder of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich, and the second deals with the alleged hacking of the DNC server by Russia. Both should be of prime interest to special counsel Robert Mueller, but do not hold your breath," The Washington Times continued.

It seems that the media, or at least some of them, are fully aware that Seth Rich most likely was the Wikileaks source, and that the Russian hacking narrative is bogus.

Will the truth ever come to light about Seth Rich? Will Julian Assange ever announce that Seth Rich was his source without being cryptic in his response? Will Seth Rich's family ever see justice?

All of this seems to linger, with no conclusion in sight. Rest assured, however, this is not the end of the case. Eventually, the truth will come out.
