Despite the nonsense the mainstream media wants to report regarding Seth Rich, DNC email leaks, Wikileaks and the Mueller Report, along with accomplices at fake fact-checkers like Newsguard, a new lawsuit is out and it’s a bombshell in naming that the source of the Seth Rich leak story did not originate with Russians, but with a Fox News reporter.  That lawsuit also named Rich, along with his brother in the leaks.

Businessman Ed Butowsky filed a lawsuit on Monday in which he stated that Fox News reporter Ellen Ratner was his source for the information regarding Seth Rich, the murdered DNC staffer, who was alleged to have been the leaker of DNC emails in 2016.

This follows Michael Isikoff’s report last week which claimed Butowsky was a Russian source.  Keep in mind that Isikoff has already been busted and tied to the Trump-Russia collusion scandal after reporting on the debunked and unverified Russian Dossier used to spy on then-candidate Donald Trump and his campaign.

Apparently, the information that Isikoff wrote about was leaked to him knowing he would report it, but it was fake news.

Butowsky claims Ratner gathered the information on Seth Rich after making contact with Wikileaks officials in London.  He also says that he has more evidence of his claims.

Lawflog.com reported:

Ellen Ratner relayed information from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to Texas businessman Ed Butowsky regarding Seth Rich’s role in transferring emails to Wikileaks, according to an amended lawsuit that I filed this morning on behalf of Mr. Butowsky.

Although Ms. Ratner is by no means a Republican or a conservative, and her role in the Seth Rich saga (like that of journalist Sy Hersh) obliterates the Democratic narrative that right-wing zealots fabricated the story about Mr. Rich leaking emails from the Democratic National Committee.

Mr. Rich, a DNC employee, was murdered in Washington, D.C. on July 10, 2016, and the murder remains unsolved. Here’s an excerpt from the amended suit (“RCH” stands for “Russian Collusion Hoax”):

45. Mr. Butowsky stumbled into the RCH crosshairs after Ellen Rattner [sic], a news analyst for Fox News and the White House correspondent for Talk Media News, contacted him in the Fall of 2016 about a meeting she had with Mr. Assange. Ms. Rattner’s brother, the late Michael Rattner, was an attorney who had represented Mr. Assange. According to Ms. Rattner, she made a stop in London during a return flight from Berlin, and she met with Mr. Assange for approximately six hours in the Ecuadorean embassy. Ms. Rattner said Mr. Assange told her that Seth Rich and his brother, Aaron, were responsible for releasing the DNC emails to Wikileaks. Ms. Rattner said Mr. Assange wanted the information relayed to Seth’s parents, as it might explain the motive for Seth’s murder.

46. Upon her return to the United States, Ms. Rattner asked Mr. Butowsky to contact the Rich family and relay the information from Mr. Assange, apparently because Ms. Rattner did not want her involvement to be made public. In the two months that followed, Mr. Butowsky did not attempt to contact the Rich family, but he grew increasingly frustrated as the DNC and #Resistance “journalists” blamed the Russian government for the email leak. On December 16, 2016, Mr. Butowsky sent a text message to Ms. Ratner:

BUTOWSKY [7:10 a.m.]: “Why don’t [sic] you speaking up about email hack?”

RATTNER [9:28 a.m.]: “I have”

Ms. Rattner subsequently told Mr. Butowsky that she had informed Bill Shine, who was then the co-president of Fox News, about her meeting with Mr. Assange in London. Ms. Rattner also informed Fox News producer Malia Zimmerman about her meeting with Mr. Assange.

47. On December 17, 2016, at the instigation of Ms. Rattner, Mr. Butowsky finally contacted Joel and Mary Rich, the parents of Seth, and he relayed the information about Ms. Rattner’s meeting with Mr. Assange. During that conversation, Mr. Rich told Mr. Butowsky that he already knew that his sons were involved in the DNC email leak, but he and his wife just wanted to know who murdered Seth. Mr. Rich said he was reluctant to go public with Seth’s and Aaron’s role in leaking the emails because “we don’t want anyone to think our sons were responsible for getting Trump elected.” Mr. Rich said he did not have enough money to hire a private investigator, so Mr. Butowsky offered to pay for one. Mr. Rich accepted the offer and thanked Mr. Butowsky in an email.

48. On December 29, 2016 at 1:51 p.m., Mr. Butowsky sent an email to Ms. Rattner from his iPad: “If the person you met with truly said what he did, is their [sic] a reason you we aren’t reporting it ?” At 3:48 p.m. that afternoon, Ms. Rattner responded as follows: “because— it was a family meeting—- I would have to get his permission– will ask his new lawyer, my sister-in-law.”

The complaint also mentions an interesting development in my ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the FBI. The feds claimed they had no information pertaining to Seth Rich, but they appear to be changing their tune. Shortly after Attorney General William Barr announced plans to declassify documents related to the Russian Collusion Hoax, the FBI’s attorney informed me that new documents were being processed. I should receive them not later than July 22, 2019. The DNC’s objections to our subpoenas for “Russian hacking’ information are also due on July 22, 2019, and production is due on August 8, 2019.

The more I’ve reviewed the Seth Rich case, the more I’m convinced of its central role in the whole Russian Collusion Hoax. I believe DNC officials knew that the emails would become public as the result of an internal leak, and they knew that the emails would be very damaging, so they attempted to turn the tables by pointing fingers at Donald Trump and the Russians. Hopefully we will know more by next week.

The longest-held journalist in American history, Pete Santilli of The Pete Santilli Show, commented from the perspective of what the federal government did during the Bundy Ranch trials in their threats against family members and believes that knowing that Rich’s brother was involved was probably the reason the family went after anyone and everyone reporting on the story and connecting the dots.

Take a look.  Pick up around the 22:28 mark.

Yet, outlets like Newsguard continue to point to the Seth Rich story as “debunked” simply because police claim his murder was a random robbery.  OK, bring us the murderers and thieves.  Oh, wait, nothing was stolen.  Oh, wait, since they haven’t caught anyone, how can they be sure?  They can’t and neither can untrustworthy outlets like NewsGuard or Michael Isikoff.
