I agree with the police report that Seth was a victim of a robbery. It was not Seth's wallet or watch that where never taken that was stolen, but the DNC emails. The whole case has been tied up in a lot of political double speak with a major political campaign central to the case.
It's a real doozy of a mess isn't it?

Did Julian Assange (Wiki-leaks) receive the thumb-drive containing the e-mails without knowing it was Seth Rich who off-loaded them from the DNC server?
Great analysis with a logical conclusion Dr1234! (S&F)

I'll see your Seth Rich speculation and raise it with Jamal Khashoggi and Qasem Soleimani evidence.
Honestly, it was probably the bullet that killed Kennedy and a bunch of others, and then traveled in time, that killed Rich.
It seems a bit incongruous that speculation by people who had no part in the case, is considered stronger than the denials of those who were involved in the case, but deny there was any such evidence.

I've solved the Seth Rich
Let us know once you present this evidence to the fbi and tell us how that goes.
You are going to give over the evidence to the authorities right?

With the highly charged political nature around this case it is up there with Martin Luther King, will be talked about for generations to come, lots of opportunity to sell some books.

That was gripping, thanks.
I'm left with a few questions; Why would Assange drop Seth Rich's brother Aaron in it like that? And, consequently, if Aaron Rich was an accessory, has he been pursued or questioned in relation to the leak?
Fascinating presentation and a really compelling story.

He did not receive the physical thumb drive. He uploaded it to Dropbox, which is essentially a google drive like application. Think of it as a way to store files on the internet instead of locally on your computers hard drive. That way the files can be accessed by anyone with the link, and in this case, the password. Seth emailed Wikileaks with samples and offered to sell the rest of the emails he had. It seems to me he was killed before finalizing the deal, but as he said in one of the emails Hersh mentioned, he gave the info to a few friends. Judging from what he told Ellen Ripley (that it was Seth and Aaron) and the fact that the Rich family is so against people spreading the idea the that he was the leaker, i think it safe to assume Aaron got the password to him after Seth was killed. Either that, or he sent them the second batch of emails that came out later in November.

It's a real doozy of a mess isn't it? I've just been reading background to get a broader picture and it's just unbelieveably complicated.
Anyway, reading about the brother Aaron suing various people for claiming that he or his brother were any way involved in the 'leak' I was leaning towards it being a street robbery gone wrong, and that this guy's corpse has been paraded around by various groups to further their own agenda. I still think that that may have been Assange's involvement. I think that he may have seen an opportunity for publicity. I don't know though. I can't find any information regarding payments that wikileaks have made for information, I haven't looked terribly hard though. I know that there have been hints that Chelsea Manning was paid, but no confirmation.
Which all makes me wonder if Rich has been patsied in an attempt to get Assange to pay for information?
The other thing, the police say they have cctv footage showing the legs of three assailants, and there is a $280,000 reward...I'm guessing only one shooter, what street robber has that kind of loyalty and tight of a ship that someone wouldn't sell them out for that kind of money.
So, could have been the 12 Russians indicted by Mueller, could have been Rich, or maybe a combination of the two or neither. I think that the shortest route to clear some of it up would be for Assange to consent to answering Aaron Rich's lawyers, but I don't know what that would cost him.
I have to say, and I liked him in Wormwood, respect his past work immensely but I'm not feeling comfortable with Seymour Hersh his unwillingness to stand by what he clearly said in the recording in the OP.
I think that there are way too many agendas at play to get a clear idea of what is going on but, enormously diverting nonetheless.
