I’ve long been fascinated by the mystery of the murder of Seth Rich on July 10, 2016, and on the anniversary of his death, it’s time to update what we’ve learned about it. As to George Clooney and his decision to withdraw his support for the reelection of President Biden, there’s much more to the story, in my view.
Seth Rich
Two years ago, I summarized what we knew of Rich’s mysterious murder.

Seth Rich was a DNC staffer who was mysteriously murdered on July 10, 2016, in Washington, D.C. after having been shot twice in the back. None of the valuable items in his possession seem to have been stolen. That would seem to rule out robbery. He had no known enemies and the murder occurred early in the morning (4:20 a.m.) in a safe neighborhood of the city. No one was ever arrested or prosecuted for the crime. There were no known witnesses to the murder. Nor to my knowledge were any suspects ever named. Local law enforcement nevertheless suggested his murder was part of a botched robbery. Six days after the murder, Wikileaks published over 19,000 emails and 8,000 attachments from the DNC files. In November of that year, they published over 8,000 more emails from the files. The emails showed that party officials favored Clinton over rival Bernie Sanders.
Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, long embroiled in a lengthy effort to avoid extradition to the U.S. from the U.K., has refused steadfastly to name the source of this material but has hinted on Dutch television that it was Seth Rich. He has repeatedly said the Russian government was not the source.
Persons familiar with such things have examined the rate of data transmission, inter alia, and concluded the DNC system was not hacked by outsiders. Instead, they contend that the files were copied to a storage device like a thumb drive and transmitted to Assange’s Wikileaks.
Rich was a Bernie Sanders supporter, and the DNC files showed how it was fixing the primaries for Hillary Clinton.
I noted then that the FBI originally indicated it did not have the information from Rich’s computer. Robert Mueller indicted some Russians, claiming they were the hackers; one of the defendants showed up to defend, and DoJ dropped that suit (having obviously thought no one would contest that ruse). Later, the FBI belatedly admitted it did have the information on the computer. A suit was filed for the information on the computer in the FBI’s possession, and it stalled on producing it.
The FBI is still stalling on producing what it has despite repeated court orders. Most recently, it admits that it has both of Rich’s personal and work computers, a forensic report of one of the computers and a tape drive of it, which should evince whether or not Rich himself downloaded the DNC files. Plaintiff’s counsel, Ty Clevenger, reports to me, “They withheld the forensic report and tape drive and never told of their existence for years.” Ordered to produce information from one of the computers in November of last year, the DoJ has again delayed production by filing a motion for reconsideration. (A motion was filed to substitute Yehuda Miller for Brian Huddleston, who no longer wanted the spotlight, so future filings and court orders will be in his name, not Huddleston’s.)
