Stacking the Deck
July 14, 2019
The article claims multiple sources, but cites none of them. The original content is a podcast from something called "conspiracyland" which is highly questionable as a verified scholarly source goes. Furthermore, none of the information they claim supports their argument is provided, none of the sources for that information are provided, and there is no commentary from anyone other than parents of Seth Rich, who have no idea what his actions were, what the sequence of events were, and the case is still, as of yet, unsolved. Overall, this is just hogwash pushing a political agenda without substantive data to build an argument, and this addresses none of the information that supports a conclusion that disagrees with the claims of this podcast.
