Finally, this story has been updated and turns out, the Russians were behind it. Hannity owes everyone a full apology for pushing his insane conspiracy theory! Or maybe Sean Hannity works for Putin too?
BTW, if you doubt Isikoff's credibility, keep in mind that he broke the Monica Lewinsky story.
"...In the summer of 2016, Russian intelligence agents secretly planted a fake report claiming that Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was gunned down by a squad of assassins working for Hillary Clinton, giving rise to a notorious conspiracy theory that captivated conservative activists and was later promoted from inside President Trump’s White House, a Yahoo News investigation has found..."
I read that, and I have questions - that I won't ask here.
Interesting that they highlighted Russian misinformation (taking the article at face value), but buried in the middle of the article - there was also information that came from the investigator that was rescinded.
The conspiracy claims reached their zenith in May 2017 — the same week as Mueller’s appointment as special counsel in the Russia probe — when Fox News’ website posted a sensational story claiming that an FBI forensic report had discovered evidence on Rich’s laptop that he had been in communication with WikiLeaks prior to his death. Sean Hannity, the network’s primetime star, treated the account as major news on his nightly broadcast, calling it “explosive” and proclaiming it “might expose the single biggest fraud, lies, perpetrated on the American people by the media and the Democrats in our history.”
...
After eight days of controversy, Fox News was forced to retract the story after one of its two key sources, former Washington, D.C., homicide detective Rod Wheeler, backed away from comments he had given the Fox News website reporter Malia Zimmerman and a local Fox affiliate reporter confirming the account.

It's a report... we will see where it leads.
Seeing that a past Isikoff investigative report led to the Starr investigation, I think it certainly will be taken seriously.
And if this is true, it should alarm everyone, including the Congressional GOP crowd. Accusing a presidential candidate of murder, despite the fact that Rich was going to work for Clinton's campaign, is pretty outrageous, even for Fox.
And they still do not know who really killed Seth Rich.
Bs. Russians not needed to add suspicion to this murder. An uncompromised intelligence agency might actually get to the bottom of this story.
MPD detectives know what happened. Street thug/druggie killed Rich in botched robbery. They probably know the perp too but don't have enough evidence for an arrest. Sorry to pop your little conspiracy theory.
Two Obama-era Officials Named As Seth Rich Murder Suspects
One is reportedly a current DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) agent, the other is reportedly a current ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) agent”
The witness, who “fears for his life,” will provide details https://tinyurl.com/yccbgwvy

Now you're trying to blame Obama for his death? Before you cons were trying to blame Hillary.
There is zero evidence that Obama or Clinton had anything at all to do with the death of Seth Rich
And even aside from that why the hell would it matter if they were Obama-era Officials? What the hell does that have to do with Barack Obama? Maybe I should remind you here that cons have argued, constantly, that Trump's own campaign manager has nothing to do with Trump. The same with his National Security Advisor and even his own son.
"and the breadcrumbs lead all the way to the top of the Obama administration."
"One is reportedly a current DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) agent, the other is reportedly a current ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) agent”"
The article is from July 9, 2018. That would also make them Trump-era Officials. That second quote also blows away the "top of the Obama administration" bull****. DEA and ATF agents are not top White House officials
And like I said, this was a year ago. Why haven't theior names been revealed?
Press conference Rosslyn Holiday Inn at 100 PM. Then, at 630, same location, a candlelight march to honor Seth Rich. Press also invited to the march. Candles shall be provided for all
Alicia Powe at Gateway Pundit reports: Frank Whalen, a retired NYPD Detective Sergeant NYPD who served as the head of NYPD Homicide for 23 years, found the witness, Burkman explained.
“We found him through working with a retired New York City detective, who found him and brought him to us. We have thoroughly vetted this witness and we believe in this witness,” he said. “He has evidence that substantiates his claims but it will be revealed slowly. This witness is in great fear of his life – that’s why we are going with disguising him, disguising his voice and everything about him.”
Burkman, who has viewed surveillance footage from the night Rich was killed, says the witness’ testimony confirms two men involved in the shooting.
Demanding apologies from the media would be a full time job for people no matter your political affiliation.
