Seth Rich update Dec 17, 2020 Huddleston v FBI, FBI requests 3 more months after sitting on laptop over 4 years, Attorney Ty Clevenger update, No botched robbery
“And why is Fox News working so hard to kill this story? I wish I could say more “about Fox’s behind-the-scenes treachery — and someday hopefully I will — but rest assured that Malia Zimmerman’s May 17, 2017 story about Mr. Rich was fully vetted by senior Fox management. I repeatedly encouraged Fox’s attorneys to postpone settlement discussions with Seth Rich’s parents until I obtained the FBI records (my client, Ed Butowsky, was a co-defendant with Fox), but Fox was hellbent on settling the case in October / November. That’s around the time Rupert Murdoch publicly joined forces with Joe Biden. Fox had a very strong defense, yet it rolled over and played dead, settling the lawsuit and then firing Ms. Zimmerman. Sooner or later, the full story will come out, and it will be very ugly for Fox News and the Murdoch family.”...Attorney Ty Clevenger
“They found, what he had done, he [Seth Rich] had submitted a series of documents, emails from DNC — and, by the way, all this shit about the DNC, you know, was it a ‘hack’ or wasn’t it a ‘hack’ — whatever happened, it was the Democrats themselves wrote this shit, you know what I mean? All I know is that, he offered a sample, he sends a sample, you know, I am sure dozens of emails, and said ‘I want money’. Later Wikileaks did get the password [SETH RICH DID SELL WIKILEAKS ACCESS INTO HIS COMPUTER.] He had a drop-box, a [password-]protected drop-box, which isn’t hard to do.”…Seymour Hersh
” So why would a “street robbery” investigation need to be classified?”…Attorney Ty Clevenger July 22, 2020
What do Seth Rich and Hunter Biden have in common?
They both had their laptops sat on by the FBI delaying investigations which could have impacted the 2020 elections.

From Attorney Ty Clevenger December 9, 2020.
“FBI changes story, finally admits it has thousands of pages of documents about Seth Rich
After three years of claiming that it could not find any records about murdered Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich, the FBI admitted today that it has thousands of pages of information about him, further admitting that it has custody of his laptop.
So what changed between then and now? Here’s an excerpt from the email that I received this morning from an attorney representing the FBI against my client, Brian Huddleston, in Huddleston v. FBI, Case No. 4:20-CV-00447 (E.D. Tex.):
FBI has completed the initial search identifying approximately 50 cross-reference serials, with attachments totaling over 20,000 pages, in which Seth Rich is mentioned. FBI has also located leads that indicate additional potential records that require further searching. At this time, FBI anticipates processing only the pages where Seth Rich is mentioned, along with perhaps another page or two in each situation to provide context. The issue right now with this batch of documents is the amount of labor required to ingest all of the material so that the responsive pages will, first, be in a page format, secondly, can be identified from among the thousands of non-responsive pages, and finally, be processed.
FBI is also currently working on getting the files from Seth Rich’s personal laptop into a format to be reviewed. As you can imagine, there are thousands of files of many types. The goal right now is to describe, generally, the types of files/personal information contained in this computer. Furthermore, the FBI will continue to evaluate the responsiveness of these files under the FOIA.”
And why is Fox News working so hard to kill this story? I wish I could say more “about Fox’s behind-the-scenes treachery — and someday hopefully I will — but rest assured that Malia Zimmerman’s May 17, 2017 story about Mr. Rich was fully vetted by senior Fox management. I repeatedly encouraged Fox’s attorneys to postpone settlement discussions with Seth Rich’s parents until I obtained the FBI records (my client, Ed Butowsky, was a co-defendant with Fox), but Fox was hellbent on settling the case in October / November.

Huddleston v FBI
DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO STAY SCHEDULING ORDER DEADLINES
Filed December 16, 2020.
“In summary, FBI has made significant progress in the search, but there is still
much work that lies ahead, including (1) processing the approximately 50 crossreferences (with thousands of pages to ingest and sort through), (2) undertaking some level of review of the personal laptop, and (3) completing all remaining searches. Unfortunately, these efforts are hampered by FBI FOIA office’s reduction to a 50% staffing posture due to Covid. [Exhibit A: Declaration of Michael G. Seidel].”
“In light of the status of the searches and the work left to be done, Defendants
propose an additional three months to complete the tasks described in Section II, up to and including March 29, 2021. At that time, Defendants will provide the Court with an updated search status and propose a production schedule.”

The FBI sat on Seth Rich’s laptop for 4 1/2 years and now they want 3 more months.
Barr retirement is a good thing.

Citizen WElls 
The following is from a phone conversation Ed Butowsky had with Seymour Hersh in 2017:
“What I know comes off an FBI Report … The kid [Seth Rich was] … a nice boy,
twenty-seven. He was not an IT expert, but he learned stuff. He was a data
programmer … Here’s what nobody knows … when you have a death like that,
DC cops … have to get to the kid’s apartment and see what you can find … so
they get a warrant … They go in the house and they can’t do much with his
computer … They have a cyber unit in DC, and they’re more sophisticated. They
come and look at it. The idea is that maybe he’s had a series of exchanges with
somebody who’s said ‘I’m going to kill you, you motherfucker’ … and they can’t
get in … So, they call the FBI cyber unit. The DC … Washington Field Office is
a hot shit unit … There’s a cyber unit there that’s excellent … The Feds get
through and here’s what they find. This is according to the FBI Report … What
the Report says is that sometime in late Spring … early Summer, he [Seth Rich]
makes contact with WikiLeaks. That’s in his computer … They found what he
had done. He had submitted a series of documents … juicy emails from the DNC
… He [Seth Rich] offered a sample, an extensive sample … of emails, and said I
want money. Later, WikiLeaks did get the password. He had a … protected
dropbox … He also, and this is in the FBI Report, he also let people know with
whom he was dealing … The word was passed, according to the FBI Report, ‘I
also shared this box with a couple of friends, so if anything happens to me, it’s not
going to solve your problems’ … WikiLeaks got access before he was killed.”
CW?? I have one question–with all the surveillance on every form of communication, how could anyone be this stupid??
Was it a set up for one or the other??
AND,
……..Mzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Wasserman Schultz is also involved. I believe that she knew exactly what Rich was doing but she decided to not tell anybody because Rich danced to somebody else’s tune. The “terrapin” (Podesta) was somehow informed about the probability that Rich had downloaded information form DNC computer systems. Why Podesta? He was then tied closely to Mzzzzzzzzzzzz. Piggy. I have a gut feeling that the TERRAPIN advised Mzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.Piggy and I believe that it was she who ordered the HIT via Podesta. Podesta comes from the OLD New York Tamany Hall days. Tamany hall had their own GOON SQUAD, and many are still around. The story isn’t really complicated. Schultz got scared and resigned, and Brazille took over……..but she didn’t know what Podesta already knew. A few days later Podesta made his own statement in a reply to an email from an unnamed person. Podesta said “I have no problems with teaching Rich a lesson”. The unnamed individual was probably the person who ultimately shot Rich.
