Seth Rich is one of the most popular and richest Public Servant who was born on January 3, 1989 in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. Rich was born into the same Jewish household living in Omaha, Nebraska. He was an active member of Nebraska’s Nebraska Democratic Party, interned for Senator Ben Nelson, was active in Jewish outreach, and also worked for the United States Census Bureau. In 2011 He completed his degree at Creighton University with a degree in political science. He then moved from the state of New York to Washington, D.C., to work for a pollster Greenberg Quinlan Rosner. He joined the pollster in 2014 and started work as a data director for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as their voter expansion data director. One of his duties during his time at the DNC was to develop computer software that helps voters locate polling locations.

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks has fueled speculation during an interview with Nieuwsuur published on the 9th of August in 2016, that addressed the issue of dangers faced by WikiLeaks sources. Unnoticed, Assange brought up the instance in the case of Seth Rich. When asked directly if Rich was an actual sources, Assange nodded, then declared “we don’t comment on who our sources are”. The subsequent statements made by WikiLeaks stressed that the company did not identify Rich as an source like they do with other leaks. It was later discovered that WikiLeaks had a relationship in conjunction with Trump campaign on other matters, which cast doubt on the motives of Assange.

A post on Twitter before Rich’s memorial service spread the idea that his killing was a political assassination. Subsequently, the conspiracy theory was spread on the subreddit /r/The Donald, and on July 29, 2016, the website Heat Street reported on these Reddit posts. Reddit users attempted to tie the homicide to prior “Clinton Body Count” conspiracy theories. The conspiracy theory was later popularized by Donald Trump political adviser Roger Stone via his Twitter account.

Political conspiracy theories and racially charged comments started to appear on social media the day after Rich’s death. Within days, right-wing conspiracy theories began circulating, including false claims that his murder was connected to the DNC email leak of 2016, or the FBI’s investigation of the Clinton Foundation.

The next morning, Wheeler told CNN he had no proof that Rich had made contact with Wikileaks. Wheeler said that Fox presented his statements in a misleading manner and that he had only was informed of the possibility of the evidence through an Fox News reporter. In spite of this Sean Hannity’s show as well as Fox & Friends continued to support the conspiracy theory for the rest during the entire week. On May 18 on the 18th of May in the show, The guest of Hannity’s show on that day included Jay Sekulow who said that Rich’s death “… is a key element in the entire Russia argument.” There was no mention of the fact the fact that Sekulow was recently named Trump’s leading lawyers on his Mueller inquiry into Russian interference during the 2016 United States elections. The former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Geraldo Rivera participated in spreading the lies. Hannity hosted a segment featuring Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch who claimed the organization submitted Freedom of Information Act requests for records of Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, mayor Muriel. Bowser and The Metropolitan Police. Sean Hannity furthermore promoted the unsubstantiated claims of Kim Dotcom, a New Zealand resident wanted from authorities in the United States on fraud charges who claimed, without proof, that Rich was engaged in conversation with him prior to his death. Fox News host Julie Roginsky expressed her displeasure with conspiracy theory peddlers. She said on Twitter as well as on her show on television: “The exploitation of a dead man whose family has begged conspiracy theorists to stop is really egregious. Please stop.” Fox News was also criticized by conservative media outlets including The Weekly Standard, the National Review and Red State. Weekly Standard, National Review as well as Red State, and conservative columnists such as Jennifer Rubin, Michael Gerson along with John Podhoretz. In September of 2017, NPR noted that Fox News did not yet apologize for the false story or explain the reasons for what was wrong “When a story of this scale crumbles, most news organizations feel obligated to explain what happened and why. Not so far at Fox.”

Snopes.com examined the case and concluded: “We were able to confirm the FBI is not investigating Rich’s murder — it is an MPD investigation.” Snopes spoke to a spokesperson from the Washington, D.C., Mayor’s Office, who stated, “All claims made by Mr. Wheeler are false and take fake news to a whole new level. The family deserves better and everyday MPD continues to work diligently to solve this case.” Snopes evaluated the claim “DNC staffer Seth Rich sent ‘thousands of leaked e-mails’ to WikiLeaks before he was murdered” as “False”.

The same places that sparked an untrue Pizzagate conspiracy theory also helped promote conspiracy theories such as the Seth Rich murder conspiracy theories and shared the same aspects. They were both promoted by those who subscribed to extreme right-wing politics as well as by officials from the campaign and people appointed to top-level positions in national security under Donald Trump. Following prior coordination via Facebook the theories were promoted via Twitter through automated bots that used the hashtag branded by Trump, with the intention of making it a popular subject. Both theories, Pizzagate conspiracy theory as well as The Seth Rich murder conspiracy theory were discussed in the subreddit The_Donald. In both conspiracy theories the authors attempted shifting the proof burdensoliciting others to disprove their theories, without citing any evidence. Slate’s Elliot Hannon called the claims regarding Seth Rich a “PizzaGate-like conspiracy theory surrounding Rich’s death”, The Huffington Post described the theory in terms of “the ‘alt-right’ idiocy of Pizzagate all over again” The NPR’s David Folkenflik said Fox News coverage of the story “evokes the pizza-gate terrible allegations utterly unfounded” as well as Margaret Sullivan wrote for The Washington Post: “The Seth Rich lie has become the new Comet Ping Pong … Crazy, baseless and dangerous.”

According to British journalist Duncan Campbell, the Russian intelligence agency, GRU, tried to implicate Rich as the source of the stolen DNC emails, in order to draw attention away from themselves as the real perpetrators of the theft. Datestamps on the DNC files were altered to show the data had been obtained on July 5, 2016, five days before Rich’s death, and the time zone was changed to Eastern Time, within which Washington, D.C., falls. Guccifer 2.0, the alleged GRU front that provided the emails to Wikileaks, then reported that Rich had been their source. Based partly on their acceptance of the false dates, some experts then concluded that the emails had been copied in the DNC offices, and had not been hacked from outside.
