In this video, at about 15:45, Burkman who is a top D.C.lobbyist running the Profiling Project...says he has confirmed that Seth Rich was taken to George Washington University Hospital. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iszcVK5SBI
"I got one piece of evidence you might like. We do KNOW the hospital was George Washington University Hospital. I was approached a week ago by a woman who...I dont know to describe her...she's actually very afraid for her life...I'm not sure why...but shes afraid to get involved in this. She is a federal contractor in the health arena....and its Geroge Washington hospital. She's actually conducting a bit of her own investigation trying to find out who these doctors were who worked on Seth. But thats a group who does not want to talk and right now thats all we know."
My god...how is this even an investigative team? They are claiming truth based on something an anonymous woman SAID? Where is the proof? Its careless to even go out and publicly state something like that so bold and say he KNOWs its GWU hospital, simply cuz a woman who fears her life said so? If he had proof, he would have shared it, but nothing other than her word.
So lets take a look at something. If you look up directions from Flagler St where he died....Medstar Hospital is 3 minutes away and has a Trauma Center. Someone could literally have just walked him over there, thats how close medstar is. https://www.mapquest.com/directions/from/us/district-of-columbia/washington/20001-1613/2134-flagler-pl-nw-38.919040,-77.013750/to/us/district-of-columbia/medstar-washington-hospital-center-355373924 We know they can treat gun shot wounds cuz they flew Scalise there of all places.
Howard University Hospital is also 3 mins away and walking distance, but while they do have an emergency room, they don't have a trauma center that could have operated on Seth.
George Washington Hospital is 12 mins away. https://www.mapquest.com/directions/from/us/district-of-columbia/washington/20001-1613/2134-flagler-pl-nw-38.919040,-77.013750/to/us/district-of-columbia/george-washington-university-hospital-278508732
Why would they pass up MedStar Health, who is superb enough to fly in a congressman who was shot, and drive seth for almost ten more minutes to a further hospital? I mean surely Medstar wasn't jam packed with emergency operations at around 4:30am. Wouldn't it make most sense to take him to the closest hospital that can treat the patient who had just been shot multiple times? Or were paramedics just wanting to take a scenic route? This just does not make any sense. Especially considering all the ties people have discovered with Medstar and Podesta with Jack Sava, Bonnie Levin, and Jen Palmieriri's sister. So why is this investigator stating he "Knows" the hospital...but provides no proof. Is he part of the problem and trying to take attention away from Medstar? I woudn't doubt it after seeing this same Lobbyist is also claiming Seth Rich's murder was linked to Russian operatives. http://www.fox5dc.com/news/238926113-story
Something aint smelling right here. Just cant imagine making a decision to take a gun shot victim in critical condition to not the nearest hospital to treat him at, but one almost ten minutes away. Pretty ballsy for them to do that to someone in need of an immediate operation. While I do appreciate profiling projects suing for more info on Seth Rich...I am just shocked at how he can go on a press conference and confirm its GWU Hospital, based on some woman who told him so a few days ago. He calls it "Evidence" too. Not sure I can trust reporting from a guy that careless, especially one who is a top D.C. Lobbyist.

Okay, I'm completely out of step with y'all. I don't know why you're coming down on this man so hard. He's saying in no uncertain terms, "THAT THE POLICE ARE BLOCKING AN INVESTIGATION AND WTHHOLDING EVIDENCE FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AND THAT IT'S OUT OF LINE WITH OTHER INVESTIGATIONS"!!! THAT'S HUGE!!!! HUGE!!!!
I guess it's because someone that we can identify is finally stepping forward and naming the hospital? That's why you're blasting him? Because he's disagreeing with some jerk who posted ANONYMOUSLY on some website, and y'all are angry because you believed this ANONYMOUS POSTER and don't want to shift gears because we all went crazy and collected evidence on MedStar?!!!! Hey, admit it ... WE WERE WRONG! We have to stop this nonsense. If this guy confirmed it's GWU Hospital, it's most likely GWU hospital! Then we're tearing apart that assertion because it's an ANONYMOUS WOMAN when when it was an ANONYMOUS MAN that posted the disinfo? And it's isn't an ANONYMOUS WOMAN. HE knows the woman ... he's not giving out her name because SHE'S IN FEAR FOR HER LIFE!!!! Another huge admission.
Stop bashing him and see if you can connect new dots! It's ridiculous to go with believing some jackshit poster who knows medical lingo over someone conducting an investigatioin! Plus he's filing suit for the ballistics report/medical examination,etc. You think it's not going to have the medical hospital on the examination report? He'd only have to say he was mistaken if and when he does get his hands on it.
Y'all are being helped and going crazy at someone trying to help. I can't see anything except that he's helping. At this point, I'm tending to believe it was GW where he was taken. I know there was TONS of discussion at the time that SR should have been taken there, but now since a douchebag poster said MedStar, we're going to all believe that instead of listening to this new evidence.
Okay .... all right ... I'm keeping my mind open and not trashing this guy. I thought the guy that posted the original crap was shady, but if you think the man who uses his correct name, holds a press conference, and actually says the police are acting very unusually and that SR was killed by A HIT MAN, you're dismissing.

He said he met her last week and she feared for her life and was afraid to even go to him. Then right after he says she's conducting her own investigation? Whynifnshe is already fearing her life?
while I appreciate his efforts in helping shed light on the case, it's very suspect for him to do a year long investigation and then come out and say he "knows" it's George Washington university hospital because a lady told him so. He even admitted the doctors aren't talking. So he is literally taking some woman's word on it and provides no proof. Add that to the fact that medstar is walking distance from where he got shot and GWU hospital is over ten mins away. Why would they pass up a prestigious hospital with a trauma center like medstar which was the closest available hospital capable of helping Seth and instead driving ten mins down to another hospital opposite direction? Your willing to throw everything away about medstar just because a woman told this man so a week ago and despite him providing no proof and admitting doctors weren't talking? lol.

The same reason we're all doing this! If you're not scared of these people, then you're not taking the allegations seriously. And it makes perfect sense to me ... and should to you. What you're leaving out of your explanation is that THIS WOMAN IS NOT ANONYMOUS TO HIM. That's what you're leaving out. The asshole that pretended to work at MedStar is anonymous TO EVERYONE! This woman isn't. He knows her. And anyone who knows anything about the ambulance system knows that people are not brought to the closest hospital ... they're just not. Yeah, if one is five minutes and the other is three and a half hours, they'll go with the five minute one. Then there's the construction and dead ends caused by it. Do you think Google mapping really takes that into account? Even if the route were clear, it's not an outrageous decision to bring him to GWU ... it just isn't. Hence, before that nutjob showed up posting bogus claims, Voat users assumed he was brought to GWU and were SHOCKED when he was brought to MedStar.
:Let's get our heads out of our asses and at least see if this is true. There's nothing so far to contradict what this man has to say, and he's fighting for us in getting those reports released! We should be talking about how to support him, and not trash him because he went to college.

Burkman, is that you?

Seriously ... you're going there? When someone makes a reasonable, logical argument, and they get this type of response, the discussion has ceased to be productive.
I'll stand on the strength of my previous submissions and let them speak for who I am and what I'm about.

I'll stand on the strength of my submissions as well. ;)

Hey, I wasn't disrespecting you. I only offered another perspective on how maybe we got it wrong.
