Assange Implies Murdered DNC Staffer May Have Been Wikileaks Source


It's hard to overstate the amount of caution we should all display with this story, but it's too newsworthy to ignore. 
It starts with this interview with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange where he brings up murdered DNC staffer, Seth Rich, unprompted. 
Here's the juicy part: 
ASSANGE: Our whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often very significant risks. There's a 27 year old that works for the DNC, he was shot in the back. Murdered, uh just a few weeks ago, uh, for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington. So... 
INTERVIEWER: That was, that was just a robbery I believe. Wasn't it? 
ASSANGE: No. There's no finding. So... 
INTERVIEWER: What are you suggesting? What are you suggesting? 
ASSANGE: I'm suggesting our sources take risks and they uh, become concerned, uh to see things occurring, like that. 
INTERVIEWER: Was he one of your sources then? I mean... 
ASSANGE: We don't comment on who our sources are. 
INTERVIEWER: Then why make the suggestion about a young guy being shot in the streets of Washington? 
ASSANGE: Because we have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States. And our sources are ... you know... our sources face serious risks. That's why they come to us, so we can protect their anonymity.
AND THEN THERE'S THIS

Yeap, those $20,000 from Wikileaks sound like a pretty good confirmation of what Assange is saying

There is zero evidence that the DNCstaffer was murdered during a robbery.

If I recall correctly, that part of town in very high end and very low crime.

What he was doing out and about at that wee-morning hour remains unknown.
