Rich Murder-Turned-WikiLeaks-Conspiracy-Theory Gets Even Weirder

[GURPS]

Another piece, this time from Fox News proper, claims that a "federal source" told the news outlet that "an FBI forensic report of Rich's computer — generated within 96 hours after Rich's murder — showed he made contact with WikiLeaks through Gavin MacFadyen, a now-deceased American investigative reporter, documentary filmmaker, and director of WikiLeaks who was living in London at the time..."

"I have seen and read the emails between Seth Rich and WikiLeaks,” the federal investigator told Fox News, confirming the MacFadyen connection. He said the emails are in possession of the FBI, while the stalled case is in the hands of the Washington Police Department.​

The Fox News report adds:

The federal investigator, who requested anonymity, said 44,053 emails and 17,761 attachments between Democratic National Committee leaders, spanning from January 2015 through late May 2016, were transferred from Rich to MacFadyen before May 21.​

isn't this supposed to be where you and the rest of the brain trust demand the name of the source or claim 'fake news'?

In an odd twist of fate, you are correct in demanding more information. As previously discussed, all a "journalist" has to do is say, "according to sources close to the subject" and they can say whatever they want.

FOIA, or actual investigative reporting that is verifiable, is much needed here.

Witness what Rolling Stone's reporter did, for example. Crafted an entire event out of whole cloth.
