This is related to pizzagate because there was a thread here a few days ago drawing attention to Seth's mom holding a stuffed panda bear in the CBS video statement by Seth's family released shortly after Seth's death. The consensus was that panda bears are a pedophile symbol, but I would just like to offer another hypothesis:
Seth's Mom was holding Seth's favorite panda bear, Bamboo, as a message to the viewers that Seth's death had to do with his love for pandas and his political views, with which panda bears are associated, namely, with the Bernie Sanders campaign.
A screenshot from the video here: https://i.redd.it/0cmv17a9mpyy.png
Seth Rich loved panda bears as noted by this co-worker:
"He loved pandas. There was a tiny stuffed panda named Bamboo that Pratt (his boss) would always try to hide around my desk and other places in the office. Seth would often come over just to chat, but sometimes he would be looking around a little more purposefully, knowing that Bamboo had disappeared recently."
Another co-worker offered this recollection of Seth:
Seth was goofy and gentle and funny and kind. He was joyful and silly. He was the first person to volunteer himself for every humiliating office stunt. This often involved a panda suit, but it could just as easily require a bizarre mask, an ugly sweater, or his now-famous Fourth of July ensemble. He had the most strangely decorated cube at GQR…while others hung calendars and white boards, visiting Seth’s cube was like visiting a little kid’s playroom.
When we threw a birthday party for GQR’s quirky panda-loving office manager, Seth came to work dressed as a panda (of course.) Any other self-respecting adult would not have agreed to do it in the first place—or at the very least would have worn normal clothes to work that day and just changed into the panda garb for the party. Not Seth! He was a panda all day.
I can't remember where I saw this mentioned, but could it be that Seth's mom was holding Seth's favorite panda bear, "Bamboo" in the video? If so, could she possibly be sending a subliminal message since panda bears were the unofficial mascot of the Bernie Sanders campaign with which Seth had great sympathy?
This tweet is one example of the panda symbolism used in the Bernie Sanders' campaign:

It is thought that Pandas4Bernie, was Seth's website and this was Seth's FB page:
https://twicopy.org/Pandas4Bernie/
https://www.facebook.com/pandas4bernie/
Could she be trying to send the message that his untimely death had something to do with the Sanders campaign? Just wondering.
I wish I could figure out what is on Seth's Mom's t-shirt. All I know is if Seth had been my child, and I knew foul play was involved but couldn't speak publicly about it, I'd find a way to let people know, and perhaps that is what Seth's Mom is attempting to do in this video.

I am new here and maybe people won't give me as much credibility as an established poster. If you could post it I would appreciate it greatly since you started the topic anyway!
By the way, I learned today that Pandas4Bernie was not Seth's account -- at least that's what someone came forward to claim. They are posting at Twitter today in response to Kim Dotcom's letter to the family and they are on the "right side".

See my new reply above. Thanks. I am wondering whether Seth used this -- the AP IS USING IT.

I found out more about this open source library of data analysis tools that works with Python called PANDA. It was originally a Knight News challenge winner in 2011 but has since become widely used. ONE use is for compiling voter registration data and some researchers even used it to predict how individuals within each precinct vote. I did some more digging and found that the AP has been using it since 2014 WIDELY to store huge amounts of voter registration. THE AP? PANDA? Voter registration data? 2014 (the year the Voter Expansion Project began, a CLINTON project involving Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft among others)? Seth Rich and Pratt Wiley were in charge of the voter data thought the expansion.
Here is an extensive article about the VEP: https://medium.com/@MeanJean/what-is-the-dnc-voter-expansion-project-264395c439f3 Excerpts: "The article quotes Pratt Wiley, the DNC’s voter protection director who was fired this past summer after a Wikileaks dump revealed Wiley and other DNC staff including Debbie Wassermann Schultz , interfering in the election on a national level, placing more than a thumb on the scales in Clinton’s favor. In recently leaked documents published via Wikileaks, we learn from Clinton’s campaign chairs, John Podesta’s and Robby Mook’s email exchanges that the majority of the internets technology and data software creators and/or companies themselves are “With Her”.
"The DNC works with closely w/partner network alliances-which act as a funnel for millions of dollars of donations to the party committees and the Clinton campaign. The main alliance is Democracy Alliance and, sister charity to Tides Foundation , the Tides Center-which like the DA, serves as an incubator for fledgling progressive non-profit dark money organizations and private for-profit companies."
All of the election night coverage gets fed to newsrooms through the AP system using data from stringers. Here's how that works: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/05/03/how-the-associated-press-tells-us-all-whos-winning-on-election-night-explained/?utm_term=.e93138a85349 Note there is a cross-check of the total against the number of registered voters in an area. Do you think there might be a connection here? Do you think Seth was into/onto PANDA? Here's more on it: http://www.niemanlab.org/2016/04/what-happens-to-a-great-open-source-project-when-its-creators-are-no-longer-using-the-tool-themselves/ Remember: Seth was hired in 2014 specifically as data director for this project! AND his LinkedIn (now erased but captured at reddit) said he was skilled in PYTHON statistical data analysis!!!

Here's something: I don't know if this is significant but I just realized there is an open source library of data analytics tools for Python called "Pandas" that was developed for quants but can be used for voter data. Here's an example: https://www.monetdb.org/blog/voter-classification-using-monetdbpython They were trying to combine two datasets to try to classify each of the voters. "We know the voting records of a precinct, and we know in which precinct each person voted, so we can try and guess who they voted for based on that information." It is newer, only a few years old. I wonder if Seth also was into "Pandas" and is someone could find some links there.

Supposedly was an overdose but yes, silence. I don't believe he overdosed
Queen_Puabi ago
No, panda bears weren't a part of Bernie's campaign. We had the Birdie that landed on podium

can we get an archive of the last link @pizzagatebot1

From what I can tell, Seth's mom is wearing a t-shirt from the 2016 College World Series, which is played in Omaha (where they live) every year in June (the month before Seth's murder). If you look, there is what appears to be two baseball bats forming an "x". Clearly visible are the letter "W" and "2016", and the tops of what looks like the letters "C" and "S". Under the 2016, it looks like it says "June 18 - 28" which are the dates they played that year. So if I had to guess, I would say she either attended the CWS in 2016, or someone she knows did and gave her the t-shirt as a souvenir.

I agree with your assessment.

A more logical hypotheses than the other panda one imo. Seth's recently discovered social media accounts also reflect his love of pandas and support for Bernie Sanders. Your quotes and info OP, and this, should be enough to dispel any other panda BS.
In PG, pandas have been alleged symbols of trauma abuse, where the child is abused physically (shaken), or through having been given drugs. It doesn't seem to fit with Seth Rich.
Disney is loved by the 98% of Americans who haven't yet awoken, so to think that Seth's parents were somehow involved in pedophillia / MK Ultra through the them having Disney prints in their wall, just doesn't make sense. We don't even know it was their wall after all.
Humans can be in denial for a long, long time after an unexpected death. The parents are acting normal imo. In shock. Thanks for posting this OP.

Yeah, because a sibling smirking and laughing so hard he had to bite his lip the day of his brother's funeral -- 2-1/2 days after his unexpected, violent death -- is completely normal. /sarc

Apparently the song "Panda" was turned into several anti-Hillary parody songs as well futher reinforcing that idea. This seems more plausible to me than a connection to pedophilia. As for the Disney obsession, that is also hardly uncommon in our culture.
