PETITION LAUNCHED TO APPOINT SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO INVESTIGATE MURDER OF DNC STAFFER
by Sharon Rondeau
(May 25, 2017) — On Thursday at approximately 9:15 p.m. EDT, internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, who claims to have evidence that murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich communicated with WikiLeaks, tweeted that he was blocked “from following all of you who signed the #SethRich petition.”
Addressing Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Dotcom added, “Dear @jack, please remove the follow limitation. Thank you.”
Last Friday, Dotcom tweeted that he has proof that Rich was a source of documentation for the open-government organization founded by Julian Assange, WikiLeaks.
Dotcom also faulted Twitter for failing to verify a new account for Assange, who has tweeted under his own name since February and to whom Dotcom referred as an “idol of truth.”
Dorsey’s co-founder, Evan Williams, said on May 21 of Donald Trump that “If it’s true that he wouldn’t be president if it weren’t for Twitter, then yeah, I’m sorry.”
Trump is known for utilizing Twitter extensively to cut through the filters of the mainstream media, which Trump views as purveyors of “fake news.”
Approximately 31 minutes prior to his latest tweets, Dotcom posted a tweet with a link to a whitehouse.gov petition asking Trump to appoint “appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the murder of Seth Rich, the alleged Wikileaks email leaker.”
The petition reads:
On July 10, 2016, Seth Rich was shot twice in the early morning as he walked back to his house in Washington D.C. Immediately after the crime, the death was called an armed robbery… but none of Seth Rich’s belongings were taken from him.
Rod Wheeler, a private investigator hired by the family, said that there was evidence Seth Rich had contacted WikiLeaks and that law enforcement were covering this up. MSM is not covering this murder, instead pushing it to the side, so it is now up to us.
The facts do not add up, law enforcement stopped covering the crime, and now it is time for us to fight for justice. Seth Rich deserves this.
On Sunday, Dotcom first declared that he is willing to travel to the U.S. to provide the evidence he said he has about Rich’s alleged contacts with WikiLeaks.
Fox News host Sean Hannity had invited Dotcom to interview with him on both his radio and television shows, but on Tuesday, Hannity announced that he would not discuss the case on his Fox show out of respect for the family’s wishes.
Hannity also became the object of left-wing media who sought to pressure his Fox show advertisers to withdraw their support. Thus far, a reported seven such advertisers have said they have pulled their ads from “Hannity.”
Those companies are now facing backlash from Hannity supporters.
On Thursday, Dotcom pushed back against allegations that he attempted to “hack” the existing email address for Rich, which is father reportedly manages. The allegation was published in The Washington Post on Wednesday based on a report said to have been received by Joel Rich, Seth’s father.
In an open letter provided to the International Business Times on Thursday, Dotcom said that he wants to work with the Rich family to expose the truth about Seth’s death, something they have said they want.
However, the family has asked that their lost loved one’s name not be associated with WikiLeaks. In his letter, Dotcom said that in respect to the hacking and other allegations reportedly sent to Fox News with the apparent intent to discourage any interview with Dotcom which might take place, “if these statements do not cease, it will be necessary for me to take further action. It is ironic that the family complain of others potentially making statements that they fear (without actually knowing) will be incorrect and then make incorrect statements about me themselves.”
Dotcom also posted on Thursday that a letter from his legal team to Special Counsel Robert Mueller III will be released on Monday.

Am assuming Hannity will continue to pursue the Seth Rich matter on his radio show. Yes?
That was my impression, but I haven’t heard him explicitly say that.
since Media is no longer objective it is upto we the people to seek the Truth about this suspicious death of a fine young man.
