Lobbyist Jack Burkman invited reporters to huddle around a phone in a Holiday Inn conference room on Tuesday, promising damning revelations about the 2016 murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.
On the other end of the call, Burkman insisted, was a former intelligence operative with an explosive revelation: government agents from the DEA and ATF were behind Rich’s murder. Burkman’s source — codename “Luke” — was about to blow this still-unsolved case open.
But Burkman couldn’t get the call to work. The call from his tipster, ostensibly whistleblowing from deep inside the deep state on the second anniversary of Rich’s death, kept getting bounced back to the phone at the reception desk at the Northern Virginia hotel. Burkman scrambled out of the room, leaving reporters and Burkman’s online audience — watching live from a variety of livestreams operated by fringe internet personalities — wondering what exactly was going on.
This could be a team covering him messing with his tech just to have fun.
I was interested in this, because he contradicted Q about MS-13 having been used in the hit. One or the other would be borne out.
Most reports completely ridiculed the witness as inept and clueless because he had no evidence of his claims, but they did not give any specifics of his story. Gateway Pundit gave a pretty good, factual accounting of his story which I will excerpt a small part of here:
The witness alleges slain DNC staffer Seth Rich was killed by two government employees, who worked as Rod Rosenstein’s “dirty squad” when he was U.S. attorney for Maryland, for breaching the Democratic National Committee server in 2016.
The witness, who called into a press conference using the alias ‘Luke,’ Tuesday, claimed Rich was murdered by three men that are his colleagues and friend, an AFT agent, a DEA agent and a former government employee.
He only learned of Seth Rich, he alleged, because the government agents were “bragging” they got away with killing him on a number occasions…
“They had details about what happened that night, leading up to it, the actual act, and occurred right after it and why,” he continued. “Whether or not he gave anything to WikiLeaks I have no idea. But going into the system, what they had control of set off everything. When he grabbed that many, they assumed it was for investigation.”
The witness explicitly detailed what how his colleagues allegedly murdered Rich after surveilling him for weeks.
“There were three involved that night. Two were waiting near his home. They had been watching him for a week or week and half to two weeks prior to this. They were waiting for hours. It was getting late – DC wakes up early. He was gone so long, they thought this would be sometime in the night,” he said. “They got the call, he was heading home. They went from being half asleep, to up on adrenaline.”
…“They looked at him. They shot him in the ribs…
After shooting him, the alleged killers rolled him over, took the thumb drive and left.
Interestingly, they claim they got a call saying he was heading home. That implies a professional surveillance team tracking Rich in real time, which handed him off to them. That much makes sense given what I know about the machine. If this was a Cabal hit, the prep work would come from dedicated surveillance, which would then summon the shooters and mostly get out of the area. Also, their just taking a thumb drive would seem reckless since who would know if it was the right one? But the reality is if Cabal had Seth under surveillance, they would keep eyes on him in his house through technology, and the shooters would have been told, “He put the thumb drive in his right front pocket. It is red and black, and there are no other drives in that pocket.” So that does fit.
But what doesn’t make sense is that this guy is still alive. They would have known he was going to do this event. Since Cabal operators are themselves under surveillance, the Cabal would have known these guys were bragging (and those guys would have known not to brag because they would have known about the ever-presence of the machine watching over them). As Q says, heart attacks happen. Why is this guy still alive?
That he did the event remotely, thinking that protects him is laughable, and that they thought about having him wear a hood is even sillier. Cabal would penetrate both effortlessly. That they were allowed to have a phone connection on Cabal’s wires also would point to this being a red herring. If he was a real bombshell that was going to expose everything the phone would simply have gone dead.
Even if he was a LARP, I would bet Cabal surveillance was watching him on video in his room as he did the phone call. It is possible he and the investigator have no idea what they are up against, but if that is the case, don’t wait for them to find and provide the critical evidence of Cabal’s involvement in the killing of Seth Rich. Cabal is on top of them, and they will never find anything that Cabal doesn’t give them.
So this guy will either flame out without ever providing anything of interest due to his ignorance of the machine, or he himself is a diversion. It is impossible at this point to tell which it is.
The bottom line is you can’t take on Cabal without a first rate intelligence agency or two on your side. And there is only one man I know about who is at odds with Cabal who has first rate intelligence agencies on his side.
We await the Donald’s open entrance into the fray.
OT: can you do a quick post / analysis of Ocasio-Cortez’s smile, to me it looks right in the wheelhouse of very strained smiles.
Wasn’t Seth actually murdered in the hospital? He was doing fine and expected to recover.
