Jack Burkman went to Georgetown.

That says a lot.

Upon some brief research, he could go either way. No obvious red flags other than Georgetown

I would always question anything coming out of the mouth of a Lobbyist.

He supports NeverTrump Neocons, and has tried pushing the Russia narrative several times.

Nothing surprises me anymore. I had reservations about him from the beginning, but thought the findings of the College Researchers was pretty good. Now I don't know, not so much.

I'm actually reading through the report now. Before finishing, consider how fast Hannity was pulled off the air when he started talking about the SR story. Some facts surrounding the story are off limits for the public eye IMO...but the MSM needs something to show they aren't ignoring the most recent buzz about the case, because for the moment that would look suspect.

Brad Bauman has been called "a professional Democratic crisis public-relations consultant who has frequently criticized President Trump." No surprise there, send in a crisis management guy, it WAS during the election year and PR is key, especially for someone like Hillary.

Bauman is the former Executive Director of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In that capacity, Bauman oversaw the legislative, communications and political operations for the second largest caucus in Congress. Prior to that, Brad served as Communications Director for various members of Congress and numerous targeted Congressional campaigns Brad was named a Rising Star in American Politics by Campaigns and Elections Magazine in 2004." Right, send one of the best to manage the crisis coverage.

So all that didn't prevent the public's concern about the DNC having a possible motive to kill SR if indeed, he was a source for WikiLeaks.

And like a gift of Manna from the PR heavens, the Profiling Project drifts down with such an air of investigative lingo. But this work also stems from a crisis management company.

Selig Multi Media, Inc. is the parent company of Profiling Project and also owns PR News Channel (PP and PRCN together serve as a training ground for up coming PR grads).

From Oct 4 2016: "Comments from crisis management expert Glenn Selig were featured in this week’s “Us Weekly” cover story on the bombshell breakup of Hollywood’s power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

“I am very proud to have been called by “Us Weekly” to offer my expert crisis management opinion on the public relations impact of this public breakup on the careers of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie,” says Mr. Selig.

With a circulation of over 2 million, “Us Weekly” is an influential weekly celebrity and entertainment magazine based in New York City.

Mr. Selig is the strategist-in-chief at the global public relations firm, The Publicity Agency. He is an award-winning former TV news anchor and investigative reporter who enjoyed a successful 20-year career in news before starting The Publicity Agency (TPA) in early 2007.  Mr. Selig and The Agency have been involved with some of the biggest crisis management PR cases in the U.S. and many notable, national and international publicity campaigns."

Why continuing input of Expert Crisis Management for a murder investigation about the 'failed street robbery at 4:30 am" (rhetorical question). We had round one, Bauman, a loyal MSM, and the NeoCon supporting Burkman's involvement with his "reward" money, but now also we have the Selig Multi Media Inc. involvement, again with Burkman.

"Effective crisis management handles the threats sequentially. ....As a process, crisis management is not just one thing.  Crisis management can be divided into three phases:  (1) pre-crisis, (2) crisis response, and (3) post-crisis.  ...Ultimately, crisis management is designed to protect an organization and its stakeholders from threats and/or reduce the impact felt by threats."

There is always so much on here, and I mean to get back to reading, but am distracted as usual. Thanks for reminding me to finish the report. If they have hired a crisis control co. there seems to be more to this than they are letting on. As we well know. You have and are doing really great research on this and I thank you for that. Unless people are use to doing research they don't know how long it can take.
