UPDATE: 12:43 p.m. Now we have this douchebag Washington Post writer named David Weigel (Twitter handle - @daveweigel) writing about Gingrich with his leftist, libtard, cover-up perspective. Weigel insists Seth Rich's assassination was a "botched robbery." Perhaps it’s time we looked into why David Weigel’s “journalism” is so blatantly biased. Who is he protecting and why? Why is he calling the Seth Rich Assassination Story "fake news"?

It's not fake news, as we all know in here. And a "conspiracy" isn't a scarlet letter, it's simply an agreement between two or more people to engage in an illegal act or to engage in a legal act in an illegal manner. So the "conspiracy" characterization means nothing, Weigel. You're pushing the "fake news" phenomenon that Clinton worker, Jennifer Palmieri, launched back on November 6th. On that date Palmieri and the Clinton campaign were worried that Wikileaks was fixin' to release videos and pictures related to Pizzagate. Here's Palmieri's "whopper" Tweet heard round the world: https://twitter.com/jmpalmieri/status/795264366547533824.

So I'm not surprised that Weigel, shill that he is, paints the Seth Rich Assassination as a "botched robbery." I can't help wonder:

(1) what are @DaveWeigel's sexual proclivities;

(2) who is @DaveWeigel protecting, and why;

(3) why must @DaveWeigel paint his "journalism" efforts with the brush of blatant bias; and

(4) does @DaveWeigel have children or like to, um, socialize with them in any way?

Here is Weigel's bullshit story:

GINGRICH SPREADS CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT SLAIN DNC STAFFER

Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, a stalwart supporter of President Trump, used a Sunday-morning appearance on “Fox and Friends” to spread the conspiracy theory that former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was killed last year to cover up the true story of how WikiLeaks obtained tens of thousands of hacked Democratic Party emails.

“We have this very strange story now of this young man who worked for the Democratic National Committee, who apparently was assassinated at 4 in the morning, having given WikiLeaks something like 53,000 emails and 17,000 attachments,” Gingrich said. “Nobody’s investigating that, and what does that tell you about what’s going on? Because it turns out, it wasn’t the Russians. It was this young guy who, I suspect, was disgusted by the corruption of the Democratic National Committee. He’s been killed, and apparently nothing serious has been done to investigative his murder. So I’d like to see how [Robert S.] Mueller [III] is going to define what his assignment is.” Mueller has been appointed as a special counsel to oversee a federal investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and any Russian collusion with Trump’s campaign.

With no pushback from the Fox hosts, Gingrich shared innuendos that got new life last week after Rod Wheeler, an occasional contributor to Fox News whom a conservative donor had paid to probe Rich’s death, told local Fox affiliate WTTG 5 that he had new evidence. On Monday,Wheeler claimed to have sources at either the FBI or the D.C. police department who apparently knew that evidence existed of Rich — who was fatally shot in July — contacting WikiLeaks but that an unnamed person had told investigators to “stand down.”

By Thursday, after follow-up questioning from CNN and NBC News, Wheeler had largely recanted his story, and Rich’s family had rejected Wheeler’s most explosive claim — that Rich’s laptop was in police custody. But Friday, and over the weekend, Fox News host Sean Hannity continued to suggest that Rich was killed in a cover-up.

Like Hannity, Gingrich confidently made claims about Rich that have not been proven and that the family has denied. Police have investigated Rich’s killing, which remains one of many unsolved murder cases in the city. There is no evidence that he was “disgusted by the corruption of the Democratic National Committee,” though last week, amateur sleuthsfalsely claimed that Rich had posted online as “pandas4bernie.” (He mayhave tweeted as “panda4progress.”)
