How many fake news stories are they going to make abut the murder of Seth Rich. They are in a panic. But, why would Rod Wheeler do this? We seen exactly what Wheeler said, from his own mouth on video!

A new bombshell lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges the Trump administration encouraged Fox News to create a fake news story concerning the death of Seth Rich, the former Democratic National Convention staffer who was murdered in July 2016, in order to divert attention away from the Russia scandal. The now-retracted story, written by reporter Malia Zimmerman, had suggested Rich was in communication with Wikileaks, implying that he—not Russian hackers—was the source of DNC emails published by the site.
NPR reports the lawsuit was brought by Rod Wheeler, a former Washington DC detective and longtime paid Fox commentator, who was hired by Republican donor Ed Butowsky to investigate Rich’s murder. According to Wheeler, the network defamed him by knowingly fabricating quotes and attributing them to him in its story, which was titled “Seth Rich, slain DNC staffer, had contact with WikiLeaks, say multiple sources.”

This is theater.
Seth Rich was actually murdered and the public doesn't know who did it. It is a function of free speech to speculate, especially when the video footage has all disappeared.
Unless it can be proved that these people knew who did it, then spun a completely different story, it is a pointless lawsuit.
My guess is that this merely exists in the greater context of DARVO tactics surrounding the issue, which means that it is evidence there is a real conspiracy that is being covered up by assholes who are reversing the victim and offender.
No matter the mud slinging, we are all still left with the question... who killed Seth Rich and why?

The DC Police cover up and destroyed evidence speaks volumes. Yet fools are just as deaf as they are blind to the blatant crimes.

They are trying to use this as a defense for the Awans & DWS!
I think Wheeler was hired by DWS to throw off those looking at her & the Awans! Just like the Rich's pd DNC spokesperson. Remember Wheeler, went on Fox News and told everyone Donna "The Ox" Brazile had called Seth's parents wanted to know why Wheeler was nosing around! Again, to cause a diversion!
Wheeler knew by going public on Fox, the pizzagate researchers would trust him, and come forward with any possible"new" or "damning" tips! Now, that Imran Awan has been arrested and I am sure singing liking a canary, with nothing to loose, Wheeler had to try something! Evil lying rat bastard!

YES. I have had qualms about Wheeler for a while. He is trying to save those that he was lying for before. This is all as someone just said, theater. Kabuki Theater. The problem is that the story has gotten out of hand.
