Trey Gowdy has removed himself from consideration as FBI Director. He wants to stay where he is, directing investigations for the House.

On Comey’s Memos:
Comey’s Memos are HIS notes on HIS impressions written at a later time.
Trump may have used bad judgement in defending Kelly to Comey, but that attack on Kelly appeared to be totally politically motivated and basically false at the time.
However, IF Comey ever really thought Trump was trying to use executive influence to kill an investigation into a real security risk or breach, and he did not report it immediately, THAT is a crime and “Obstruction of Justice”. So why did he wait until he was fired?

Re: Comment #4
Big Mistake! I wrote “Kelly” when I meant Flynn.
Bad day with the “Eye Doctor”. Retinal specialist, got macular problems plus “some complications” from 4 year old cataract surgery(?). I need to double check my notes. Sorry ’bout that.

Regarding the Hillary/Russia/uranium deal, you are using either false or old information. Maybe you saw it on FOX, that’s ok, lots of people eat their dog food. But since then this has been out to rest by many sources as, and I quote, “bordering on the absurd.”
http://www.factcheck.org/2015/04/no-veto-power-for-clinton-on-uranium-deal/

And Trump’s claim of automatically being audited a very year? Many years of tax accounting has shown to me that the only people who have that happen are ones where the IRS finds repeated cheating.

See: https://heatst.com/culture-wars/harvard-study-reveals-huge-extent-of-anti-trump-media-bias/
Harvard,the great bastion of “Liberal Intelligentsia” insanity, Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy has admitted that there is a huge Anti-Trump bias in the Media’s “reporting”. NBC and CNN “lead the pack” with 93% negative reporting to 7% positive. Followed by CBS 91/9 negative, NY Times 7/13, & Wa Post 83/17.
The exception is 80% positive news on the missile attack on Syria. (Go figure? Probably a mistake based on bad “intel” and even worse “analysis”. A “story” that quickly disappeared as facts started coming out.)
The complete report: https://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-donald-trumps-first-100-days/?utm_source=POLITICO.EU&utm_campaign=ab6d830a9d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_05_19&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_10959edeb5-ab6d830a9d-189799085
Not only is their “reporting” biased, but it is usually based on Anti-Trump “Talking Points”, opinions, rumors, and out-right lies. Most are disproven in a day or two, or “kept alive” by biased reporters demanding Trump supporters to “prove he is innocent”. These are candidates for jobs at the Lubyanka back in the KGB days. American Courts demand the Prosecution prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt, not that the “Accused” must prove “innocence” to every unsubstantiated accusation based on political driven hatred, jealousy, or wishful fantasies.
The Mainstream Media feed on each others’ insinuations, accusations, and outright lies. They generally admit that they make no effort to substantiate their claims, their goal is to get out the ugliest story the fastest for consumption and repetition by the other Anti-Trump copy-cats and for propagandizing the unwary.
Repeating baseless accusations is not evidence, only slander you can blame on “somebody else said it first”.
But the Anti-Trumpers don’t care. The Radical Leftists, RINOs, and the Political Prostitutes hate his Message because it resonates with real middle Americans, so they try to destroy the Messenger because they can’t directly attack the Message. The Messenger may be flawed, but the Message is still true.
I want a complete and honest investigation into all of the accusations. Get past the “smoke and mirrors” generated by all the SwampCritters of all “persuasions”. The treat of “Impeachment” is silly, but I think it would be great; the Lib/Dems would actually have to come up with real EVIDENCE. Evidence based on facts and actual actions that could stand up to serious investigation and cross-examination. Make the “accusers” actually face the accused in a Public Trial. No more of this “Media Revolution of Insinuation” to obstruct and even over-turn an election they don’t like because their “beloved candidate” was a lazy, greedy crook, and it became apparent to many of her “Democrat Voters”.
Hillary lost because Hillary is what she is, and people started to see beyond the empty “Socialist Promises”, and the ‘Reality of Hillary’ is very ugly and frightening to most Americans.

More notes on Comey Cover-up: http://www.dailywire.com/news/16388/report-comey-plotted-not-recommend-charges-against-aaron-bandler

“The lengthy report featured in The New Yorker portrays Comey as an individual who had a tragic fall from grace in his futile attempt to be the independent man in Washington, D.C. Buried in the piece is this explosive nugget: (The New Yorker is notoriously Pro Lib Dem and insanely Pro-Clinton)

Comey had his own ideas. Unbeknownst to his Justice Department colleagues, Comey had resolved to proceed alone with the announcement. Since May, he had been holding a parallel series of meetings with top F.B.I. confidants to thrash through his plan. He would publicly announce—and explain—the Clinton decision without Lynch at his side. “We had discussions for months about what this looked like,” Michael Steinbach, who retired as the F.B.I.’s executive assistant director for national security in February, 2017, said. “This, for us, was the best course of action, given the political situation that we were in—for us to do it independently.”

As Comey saw it, according to Steinbach and others familiar with his thinking, the public doubted Lynch’s independence and would be less likely to accept the decision if she were involved in announcing it.

Clinton wasn’t interviewed until July 2. That means a couple of months before the subject of the investigation was interviewed, Comey was plotting a course of action to make the decision not to recommend charges against her seem more palatable to the public. It’s clear in the piece that not only was there never any indication that Comey was going to recommend charges against her, but that Comey knew about an email sent by a Democratic operative who believed that Attorney General Loretta Lynch “would protect Clinton.” Comey never raised the issue with Lynch.”
………..

Note: What we have here is The New Yorker admitting that Comey would “dismiss” the case for Lynch, running interference for Lynch and Obama, keeping them from “any Responsibility”. Decided before Hillary was even questioned. She lied about the Confidential Emails, then lied about whether she knew material was confidential, then lied about sending any material that was MARKED Confidential, then lied about not knowing what the Confidential Markings meant.

Anyone that dumb should even be a janitor in the Dept of State. Obvious lies and transparent to anyone with any judgement. But Hillary gets a pass, again.

Military officers get punished for leaving their desk for a minute with Confidential info not locked up, even on secure bases and Naval vessels. But Hillary is sending it on unsecured servers, to Huma Abiden (a known Muslim Brotherhood operative), and to her husband, Anthony (the) Weiner, AKA “Carlos Danger”, known pervert and all-around idiot. Why do they keep insisting that no Prosecutor would prosecute a politician for even something this flagrant? Are all politicians exempt from law and common sense? Or just Democrats? Or just Lib/Prog Dems in The Swamp? Or just “especially Hillary”, the epitome of the Lib/Prog Alinskyite Obamunist “Smartest Woman in the World” Democrat/Socialist President/Designee?

The ” the political situation that we were in—for us to do it independently.”, was saving the Democrat candidate fro going to prison. And “ratting-out” Obama at trial. He knew about the illegal server, had sent emails to it, and he had to be protected, too. Did Comey do this on his own? or was there “back-channel” communication and instructions for him to feed this cockamamie story to the Media Lap-Dogs of “no intent, so I don’t recommend prosecution”? Taking the heat off AG Loretta Lynch? The Laws are there to PROTECT NATIONAL SECURITY, no “intent” is necessary for conviction! In fact, any provable intent would indicate TREASON, not just a National Security violation. Any “Intent” to violate National Security is “Aiding and abetting our enemies” whether as an agent of a foreign power, selling secrets for money, misguided pacifism, or some scheme to overturn or destroy our Constitution and our Constitutional Republic!

As Ben Franklin said, ” … a Republic, if you can keep it.” It is degenerating into a “RICO” run by political oligarchs and their Media propaganda machine.

What this is really admitting is Comey conspired to free Hillary from any responsibility for flagrantly violating National Security. We seriously need to investigate what his “INTENT” was.

Sometimes, we must read commentary with an eye toward realism, and sometimes toward theatrical production. I find the previous 5 comments, very much in line with what I consider to be “theatrical” production. Bad theatre, but theatrical none the less. Maybe a dramedy in the making? Oh so many hope so.

Seth Rich Family Detective Speaks: Police Were told to Stand Down on Murder Investigation (VIDEO)
On July 8, 2016, 27 year-old Democratic staffer Seth Conrad Rich was murdered in Washington DC. The killer or killers took nothing from their victim, leaving behind his wallet, watch and phone.

Shortly after the killing, Redditors and social media users were pursuing a “lead” saying that Rich was en route to the FBI the morning of his murder, apparently intending to speak to special agents about an “ongoing court case” possibly involving the Clinton family.

Seth Rich’s father Joel told reporters, “If it was a robbery — it failed because he still has his watch, he still has his money — he still has his credit cards, still had his phone so it was a wasted effort except we lost a life.”

The family hired Rod Wheeler to investigate their son’s murder. Wheeler told FOX 5 DC on Monday there is tangible evidence on Rich’s laptop that confirms he was communicating with WikiLeaks prior to his death.

Rod Wheeler spoke with FOX 5 in DC in late March about Seth’s murder.

Wheeler told a reporter on the ground in Washington DC local police were told to stand down on Seth Rich investigation.

Rod Wheeler: The police department nor the FBI haven’t been cooperating at all. I believe that the answer to solving his death lies on that computer which I believe is at the the police department or the FBI.

Reporter: But you have sources at the FBI saying there is information that could link Seth Rich to Wikileaks.

Rod Wheeler: Actually I have a source inside the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said Rod we were told to stand down on this case and I can’t share any information with you. That is very unusual for a murder investigation especially from a police department… I do believe there is a correlation between the mayor’s office and the DNC. And that’s the information that will come out tomorrow.
…………
Where is the Lamesteam demands for a complete and honest investigation of this? (Don’t hold your breath!)
This is why I think a Special Investigator is a very good idea. Trying to defend Trump by arguing against the lies is futile. It is so much easier to make up accusations than to try and refute them. Let’s get this into an investigation with subpoena powers!

I’ve got to quit, my computer is going nuts.

Mr. Bill, I really think you should consider a return to air piracy. The “investigator” hired by the family of the deceased DNC has insisted he is lying and has issued a cease and desist order against him and have demanded a recantation from FOX 5. Republican right wingers who are using his death as political fodder have a special place in hell warming up for them.

Let me provide an update, as I don’t believeyou’ll ever admit to the truth. Here’s the money quote from the article:

” wheeler has since recanted parts of the story, saying he was misquoted and had no direct knowledge of the identity of the federal investigator or the investigations”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/family-of-slain-dnc-staffer-fights-back-against-conpiracy-theories-with-cease-and-desist-letter/2017/05/20/6da279c2-3d6f-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html

Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon has Big Anti-Trust Problems. He also has billions of “excess dollars” to use in his defence. Bezos is an Uber-Liberal. In addition to hiring platoons of lawyers and lobbyists, he bought the “Washington Post” as his own Propaganda Weapon against Trump and the Federal Court System, as well as anyone else he thinks is a threat to his “Empire”. Bezos isn’t as rapaciously evil and anti-American as George Soros, but he is getting there.
See: http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/02/15/amazon-has-some-serious-anti-trust-issues/ about the Anti-trust issues, Google others, but consider the sources, Bezos has tremendous influence with Liberals and is losing millions in the lawsuits. The “Washington Post” has been increasingly Left wing for over half a century. Bezos figures it is a “good investment”, better than pouring millions into Lobbyists and buying Liberal politicians with “Campaign Contributions”.
The “Carrot” of bribes is good, but backed up by the threat and influence of the WaPo as the “stick” is better.

And if Seth Rich’s parents tried to call off Rod Wheeler’s investigation, WHY? Threat or pay-off? Or both?

DNC Affiliates Increase Involvement In Seth Rich Case After Wheeler Claims

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-22/dnc-affiliates-increase-involvement-seth-rich-case-after-wheeler-claims

Too long and complex to copy paste. Read Carefully.
Major points:
I. Legal Representatives And Spokespeople For Rich Family Have Ties To DNC, Crime Connected Unions
II. Rich Family’s Statements To The Public Are Inconsistent With Those Of Their Representatives
III. The Investigation Into Rich’s Murder Has Been Marked By Incompetence

My opinion is:
I. Typical Clintonista “Damage Control”- obscure with lawyers & Media, use all available Political Influence, and threaten or bribe anyone involved.
II. The “Family” has been controlled by the Clintonistas, now are starting to rebel and seek the truth.
III. A major cover-up obscured and concealed in a facade of “Incompetence”! This is so typical of any “investigation” into anything involving the Clintons! Or the Obamunists & the DNC now.
All of the above are typical of “Arkancides”. If this gets traction, will Podesta get “thrown under the bus” to protect Hillary giving the order, and even Obama for “after the fact” involvement?

The second one that failed was #13:
From previous notes & sources:
Clinton-Comey Connections
http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/262389/comey-clintons-and-clemency-lloyd-billingsley

During the final days of his presidency, Bill Clinton opted to reduce the prison terms of the New Square offenders, and after 9/11 that sparked an investigation. As Anderson notes, “Hillary received an unexpected gift in late June when, without explanation, U.S. Attorney James B. Comey closed the New Square clemency case,

, New Square delivered Hillary’s biggest victory margin of any community in New York state, 1,359 votes to only 10 for her opponent Rick Lazio. (her NY Senate run)

Clinton’s pardon of fugitive Marc Rich also drew an investigation and Andersen finds it odd that the Bush administration would “help the Clinton’s out” by refusing to release documents related to the pardons. And “in accordance with his boss’s wishes, U.S Attorney James Comey gave Bill and Hillary a pass.”

“At Hillary’s urging,” Andersen writes, “the President granted clemency to 16 Puerto Rican terrorists who have been sentenced to prison following a wave of bombings from 1974 to 1983 that took the lives of six Americans and wounded scores of others. Incredibly, the terrorists had not even asked for clemency.” The worst attack was the January 24, 1975 bombing of Fraunces Tavern in Manhattan. The Puerto Rican FALN exploded a bomb during the lunch hour, “hurling body parts into the street and killing four people.”

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a51446/what-was-comey-thinking/

Whitewater first brought James Comey into public conflict with Hillary Clinton. He joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel. The committee dug dry holes regarding Hillary, but Comey and his colleagues had harsh words for her in 1996. They said that she had mishandled sensitive documents and concluded that while her behavior constituted misconduct, no charges against her could be proved. That was two decades ago. Sound familiar?

http://www.westernjournalism.com/wow-something-from-20-years-ago-is-a-major-clue-about-what-fbi-will-do-to-hillary/

Comey found Hillary Clinton’s conduct unacceptable. Time reports:

In 1996, after months of work, Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents and had ordered others to block investigators as they pursued their case. Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment: she and her husband had tried to hide their roles in two other matters under investigation by law enforcement.

Taken together, the interference by White House officials, which included destruction of documents, amounted to “far more than just aggressive lawyering or political naiveté,” Comey and his fellow investigators concluded. It constituted “a highly improper pattern of deliberate misconduct.”

But he shut the investigation down and gave her a pass anyway. After drawing it out to 2001.

Speaking of False Accusations and Lies, the Lib/Prog
News Media is filled with “Arabs give $100 Million to Ivanka’s Women Entrepreneur Fund”, and how unethical it is, much worse than the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.
I’m somewhat surprised that “our resident Troll” hasn’t posted that yet.
Facts are Ivanka only proposed it to the World Bank, they established it and run it. Ivanka is only trying to “popularize” it and has no official capacity.
But accusations are more important than truth when it comes to anything Trump. The really funny thing to me is Ivanka and her husband are more traditional New York “Liberals” than anything else. But “Modern Lib/Progs” hate anyone that doesn’t their entire Agenda without the slightest question or reservation. They would burn John F. Kennedy at the stake for even mentioning “Patriotism”. That is how far Radical Left the “Democrat Party” has gone since I graduated from high school. JFK as a white Christian heterosexual male, and (Horrors!)from a rich family, would have no place or future in the Dem Socialist Party of today.

Kim Dotcoms statement released today:
“I KNOW THAT SETH RICH WAS INVOLVED IN THE DNC LEAK.

I know this because in late 2014 a person contacted me about helping me to start a branch of the Internet Party in the United States. He called himself Panda. I now know that Panda was Seth Rich.

Panda advised me that he was working on voter analytics tools and other technologies that the Internet Party may find helpful.

I communicated with Panda on a number of topics including corruption and the influence of corporate money in politics.

“He wanted to change that from the inside.”
I was referring to what I knew when I did an interview with Bloomberg in New Zealand in May 2015. In that interview I hinted that Julian Assange and Wikileaks would release information about Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election.

The Rich family has reached out to me to ask that I be sensitive to their loss in my public comments. That request is entirely reasonable.

I have consulted with my lawyers. I accept that my full statement should be provided to the authorities and I am prepared to do that so that there can be a full investigation. My lawyers will speak with the authorities regarding the proper process.

If my evidence is required to be given in the United States I would be prepared to do so if appropriate arrangements are made. I would need a guarantee from Special Counsel Mueller, on behalf of the United States, of safe passage from New Zealand to the United States and back. In the coming days we will be communicating with the appropriate authorities to make the necessary arrangements. In the meantime, I will make no further comment.

STATEMENT FROM
KIM DOTCOM
From: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/05/breaking-internet-hacker-kim-dot-com-releases-documents-seth-rich-leaked-podesta-wikileaks-emails/
……………………
Will the MSM report on this? Honestly??
Will Mueller call him to testify and provide security?
His evidence should greatly change the “investigation” into the ‘Russian Connection’, into a murder investigation and investigating the cover-up of the murder and the Media’s willing participation in smearing Trump, and even the Russians, because the Dems needed a scapegoat for Hillary losing so badly.
Also the FBI seemed to be somewhat in cooperation in suppressing evidence that it was a “Leak” rather than a “hack”, and James Comey most probably was a part of that conspiracy to try and shift the blame of the Emails being revealed from Russia & Trump top to a DNC ‘Leaker”. One who was ‘leaking’ because he was a Patriotic American over being a DNC employee.
And he died for it.

Curiouser and Curiouser.
Fox has quietly retracted its story on the Seth Rich murder and the Rod Wheeler investigation. Also reports nothing on the Kim Dotcom Statement. I didn’t find it on Fox, but it was reported by Daily Caller and I did find the retraction buried in their “Crime” section.
The Kim Dotcom Statement is being covered by The Gateway Pundit and reported by Drudge and Breitbart.

Daily Caller http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/23/fox-news-retracts-seth-rich-story/ included a statement allegedly from Seth Rich’s family that stated:
A statement from Rich’s family thanked Fox for doing the right thing and retracting the story.
“The family would like to thank Fox News for their retraction on a story that has caused deep pain and anguish to the family and has done harm to Seth Rich’s legacy,” the family’s statement read. “We are hopeful that in the future Fox News will work with the family to ensure the highest degree of professionalism and scrutiny is followed so that only accurate facts are reported surrounding the case.”

However, the Current Fox statement http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/23/statement-on-coverage-seth-rich-murder-investigation.html does not include that. ???

I wonder who is “the representative of the family” informing Fox? I saw some internet reporting that it was Donna Brazile but disregarded it and didn’t save the link.

Coupled with former CIA Director Brannon’s reported admissions “there is no credible link for the Trump-Russia accusations”, I find this very curious. I need to read more on Brannon’s testimony.
This is more of a Media “taffy-pull” than a news investigation. I expect that & “the spin” from the Lib/Prog Propaganda Machine, they have much time and effort in the “Russia Connection” to give it up. But not Fox. Fox is losing credibility quickly.

FOX News retracted the Wheeler interview/Seth Rich lies last night. His friends and family all state he loved working for the DNC. Your sources are all from conspiracy and alt- news sources.

Really Bill, let this young man rest in peace. Shame on you for degrading his name.

Brad Bauman is a political consultant working for Democratic candidates for office and progressive causes. Bauman is the former Executive Director of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
http://www.netrootsnation.org/profile/brad-bauman/
The Congressional Progressive Caucus is far left, described as “somewhere to the left of Stalin”. He is widely described as a “damage control specialist”, Newspeak for a ‘fixer’.
A ‘fixer’ described as a “Stalinist”, why would the DNC possibly hire someone with a reputation like that? Well, DUH?

Are you even sane? Your spin is moving so fast it’s giving everyone who reads it whiplash.
Get a grip. A FOX news opinion person tried to pay a PI to find a spin on the death that wasn’t really there so FOX could report on it. Except no evidence exists according to 1) the police 2) the investigator FOX interviewed and 3) everyone at FOX including their very highly paid attorneys who tried everything they could to get them out of this. That there is bogus jouralism 101.

I’m sure the family’s legal team is looking into other spreaders of this lie. Maybe you better leave this dog alone.

Well, I just hope Dolphin Talk’s libel insurance is paid up. This family is not going to sit by and let this be their child’s legacy. Easier to take a hard print operation to court than a nebulous website by someone named Kim.

The acting spokesperson for the family of the late DNC staffer and suspected WikiLeaks source Seth Rich is a man named Brad Bauman who happens to be directly connected to Media Matters founder and George Soros-backed propagandist David Brock.

NOW: Spokesman in Seth Rich Case Brad Bauman Tied to Media Matters’ David Brock

Carter May 24th, 2017 4:31 pm 131 Comments
The acting spokesperson for the family of the late DNC staffer and suspected WikiLeaks source Seth Rich is a man named Brad Bauman who happens to be directly connected to Media Matters founder and George Soros-backed propagandist David Brock.

This recent discovery comes at a time when the interest in the Seth Rich case has reached a peak. Just earlier today, “independent investigators discovered that Bauman runs a foundation in his name,” Disobedient Media reports.

It is called the Bauman Foundation and on the Board of Directors sits David Brock, a self-loving, narcissistic, ego-maniac who has made a career of attacking people on both sides of the aisles, but since 1997 has aligned himself with the Clintons, Soros, and the ravenous, illiberal left. He is the founder of Media Matters for America, Correct the Record, and Shareblue. Brock is known for his use of “censorship” and “online harassment”.

Disobedient Media reports:

Disobedient Media has previously reported that Brock and his affiliated organizations have ties to the Chinese government, foreign special interests and organized crime. Brock’s ties to foreign interests may mean that he is in violation of the Foreign Agent Registration Act, 22 U.S.C. § 614.

Brock’s organizations have been active in harassing and attacking journalists looking into the Seth Rich story. Affiliates of Brock have taken to Change.org to attack companies advertising with Fox 5 DC. The boycott campaign is organized by Karl Frisch, a former senior fellow at propaganda group Media Matters for America who spent his time at the organization helping develop “long-term strategy to target Fox News as a political actor.” Media Matters has also targeted Fox News anchor Sean Hannity for discussing the case.

David Brock’s personal involvement with Brad Bauman only serves to intensify speculation about political interference in attempts to uncover answers concerning the death of Seth Rich. Disobedient Mediahas previously noted an August 2016 tweet from Wikileaks which revealed that Bauman is a crisis public relations consultant working with the Pastorum Group. A media release from the Pastorum Group reveals that Bauman previously worked for the DNC and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The SEIU is the client of a group founded by Democratic operative Robert Creamer. In 2016, Creamer was implicated in footage obtained by journalist James O’Keefe which revealed that Creamer was engaging in voting fraud and violent disruption of political events, sometimes using his connections to unions who were as clients of his. Legal representatives sending cease and desist letters on behalf of the Rich family also have ties to the law firm at the center of the Whitewater controversy.

Brad Bauman has in the past week insisted that anyone who continued to push the story either had a “transparent political agenda,” or were a sociopath. But given the intense attacks which organizations tied to David Brock have engaged in against any journalists discussing the Rich case, Brock’s connections to Bauman intensifies questions about whether or not the DNC has become involved in the Seth Rich case out ulterior motives.

Update: we just noticed that an affiliate of the Open Society Institute is also on the Bauman Foundation board

“organizations have been active in harassing and attacking journalists looking into the Seth Rich story.” “to attack companies advertising with Fox 5 DC.”
Sound familiar?
The question is who would object to a Special Prosecutor investigating this very probable source of the Hillary Emails being revealed to Wikileaks?
But it is not Trump, and not even the “Russians”. Don’t they want the murder of Seth Rich solved?

Thank you, Karla,
There seems to have been some confusion in the reports I’m finding about the Jack Burkman Investigation. Whether he and his Profiling Project investigative team were hired by Bauman, the Rich family, the DNC, or someone else. Also “info” I read gave me a very negative opinion that now appears to be wrong.

Today World Net Daily has a report: http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/gop-lobbyist-cops-hid-evidence-halted-seth-rich-probe/

Burkman is actively pursuing his investigation,
“The police have shut down all full operations,” Burkman told WND. “The police are not cooperating with us or anyone, which is sad. This has become a very systematic and deliberate effort by the D.C. police and the mayor to end the Seth Rich investigation,”

As WND reported, a manager at Lou’s City Bar, the last known location Rich was seen before his murder, claims police never interviewed the bar’s staff or requested evidence from the establishment.
“We believe there is additional security footage that we need to see,” Burkman said. “There is other video that the police have that we need to see. We need ballistics from them – we need a lot from them. We think the police are now deliberately concealing an awful lot of stuff in an effort to shut this investigation down. I have been very patient and favorable to the D.C. police, but it’s time to shine the light on what they’re doing.”
Burkman said he believes there is a political motive behind the suspension of the investigation, and he claims law-enforcement authorities are colluding with D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
After Burkman and his team conducted thorough research and reviewed the only video police released of the shooting, he said, it became clear to him that the shooting wasn’t motivated by a robbery.

“We’ve done investigations that really prove this was not a robbery,” Burkman said. “I took one look at that video, and I knew that the police story that this was a robbery gone awry was nonsense. I mean, my God, he was shot twice in the back and nothing was taken. The police hypothesis is just ridiculous! It’s beyond silly.”

Burkman said the Democratic National Committee has also stopped cooperating with his team, and he believes the DNC wants to shut down all investigations.
“It’s becoming increasingly clear that the DNC wants this thing shut down,” Burkman charged. “They’re not comfortable with it at all. They’re probably in debt to the D.C. police on this. They want this whole thing suffocated.”

Burkman also claims he’s been the target of personal attacks from the Rich family spokesman, Brad Bauman, who is also a professional Democratic crisis public-relations consultant. Bauman denies that the DNC hired him to represent the Rich family.

“Bauman is attacking me, attacking me, attacking me,” Burkman said. “If he doesn’t stop, we’re going to serve him with a cease-and-desist letter or consider a suit for slander and defamation because he just won’t stop. There’s no reason for him to be calling me names. That’s not his job. He’s a spokesman for the family – we’re just trying to investigate. He wants to make this partisan.”

Burkman has repeatedly made allegations that the Russians are tied to Rich’s murder. He has claimed a former U.S. intel officer told him the Russians killed the DNC staffer after he learned the Russians had hacked the DNC. Burkman has asked Congress to investigate.

Burkman has posted billboards and ads around D.C. asking, “Do you know who murdered Seth Rich?” The signs offer a $130,000 reward, which includes the $105,000 offered by Burkman.

(Bunkman) also made a public call for others to offer reward money for information leading to the arrest of Rich’s killers. He’s urged the DNC, RNC and Fox News’ Sean Hannity to contribute.

“We’re calling on today the RNC, the DNC and Sean Hannity – three entities that are far richer than I could be in a hundred lifetimes – to put money in there,” Burkman said. “I say to Sean Hannity, quit talking and start spending.

“And the DNC, my goodness, it’s one of yours! It’s one of your own. I have no idea why they haven’t offered a reward, and I think it’s suspicious. But hey, I also call upon the RNC. This is a bipartisan thing.”

This guy is beating the bushes, and shaking the trees, and he might actually get some leads to the killers and leads on why the DC police were so “incompetent” in their investigation.
Whoever killed Seth Rich needs to be exposed and prosecuted, also if there was any cover-up.
At least this guy appears to be really trying.

Also there was a short statement: “Judicial Watch has filed Freedom of Information Act requests with the police department and the mayor’s office, as well as a request with the FBI.”
Hopefully if serious people get to pushing this, some justice may be found yet.

Oh, THAT Jack Burkman. I thought you meant the funny one not the homophobe with a gay brother.

Poll there is 100% agree. At least when I looked.

Well, it looks like the Congressman representing our district here in Texas, Blake Farenthold, has decided the murder of Seth Rich needs investigating. Since the left says there is no evidence at all in this case, and now they are seeing Russians under every doormat, it does seem like a good idea to find out what in heck really got this man killed. I saw today where his father said, “If it was a robbery — it failed because he still has his watch, he still has his money — he still has his credit cards, still had his phone so it was a wasted effort except we lost a life.”

If the Russians really ‘didn’t do it’, I am sure that his family, like the rest of us now, would like to find out who did, so we can put this issue to rest along with this man’s memory and his parent’s piece of mind.

Slightly off topic, but since I have pointed out that “Liberalism as practiced today is a mental disease, and left unchallenged and untreated can be fatal”, I’m including this: http://www.allenbwest.com/allen/just-heard-confirms-post-modern-liberal-progressivism-mental-condition
Classical and traditional “Liberalism” has been inverted, perverted, “interpreted” and “changed”
into an insane form of mental slavery.
I wholeheartedly agree with Col. Allen West, and have hoped from the campaign that he is given a position in the Trump administration.

The Gateway Pundit reports reward for Seth Rich killers now $245,000: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/05/breaking-oan-offers-250000-information-seth-rich-murder-total-reward-395000/
The Metropolitan (DC) police posted a reward for information on Rich’s murder. ($25,000)
In August Wikileaks offered a $20,000 reward for information on the murder of DNC staffer Seth rich.
** On Friday American businessman Martin Shkreli offered $100,000 reward for information on Seth Rich’s murder.
Now this…
** OAN offered $100,000 reward for information on Seth Rich’s murder.
This report says OAN offered $250,000 but it cannot be verified.
That brings the total up to at $245,000 in cash reward for information on Seth Rich’s murder.
………………………
That kind of money is going to get someone to come forward. Probably some crazies and con-artists, but the cops can separate those out. Also Jack Bunkman is offering a reward, but that probably includes some of the previously mentioned. How much Bunkman himself is adding to the pot is not clear.

From your comment #14 above,
“The Laws are there to PROTECT NATIONAL SECURITY, no “intent” is necessary for conviction! In fact, any provable intent would indicate TREASON, not just a National Security violation. Any “Intent” to violate National Security is “Aiding and abetting our enemies” whether as an agent of a foreign power, selling secrets for money, misguided pacifism, or some scheme to overturn or destroy our Constitution and our Constitutional Republic!”
Let’s talk Kushner, shall we?

I just saw you mention your computer problems. Probably a virus. Those alt-news sources are well known to embed STD’s in their click bait.
