There is reason to believe that Seth Rich's murder was related to the podesta email leak, and therefore this investigation. Some reasons are suggestions by Assange, as well as others that he was the leak. I am wondering if anyone has, and how we can if not, file a FOIA request for the footage recorded by D.C. Police responding. I have noticed from this document, which appears to be the police report that the officers were wearing this piece of equipment. So what do you guys think, should we request this and if so who is gonna take lead? I think it would be best if it was someone with a popular YouTube or website to file the request.
Police report for set rich.

anyone should do this!!!
▼ Fateswebb
We should all. One request is a joke. 15 isnt

I wish I could see the autopsy report, I want to know location of GSW and time he arrived at hospital. A person usually don't die that long after a GSW unless care was delayed or bad care. I'm sure Washington DC has excellent trauma care like we do in New Orleans....usually a person dies immediately in the street if heart or major arteries are hit....just a sneaking suspicion that they may have delayed his care. Wonder if his family has requested these reports?

FOIA is for FEDERAL documents. You cannot get local PD info with FOIA.

I filed a FOIA for Seth Rich was denied in very non-commital way.

Response:
Ok... So the codes say:
Title 5, section 552, (b)(7)
US code 552a, scroll to (j)(2), about halfway down
▼ Melitica
FOIA is for FEDERAL records. Investigation was local PD.
▼ 8toborrm
I'll see myself out
▼ Fateswebb
What was your request, and why does this mention him not being on watch lists? I'm more interested in the body am footage and other physical evidence surrounding his murder.
▼ 8toborrm
It was the first FOIA I've ever filed, and I think I phrased the scope incorrectly. I just requested files pertaining to Seth Rich. Damn.
▼ Fateswebb
Yeah the will stonewall anything we try.
▼ MAGABoomer
Seth Rich leaked the DNC emails, he did not phish Podesta, that was Gucifer2 I believe.
▼ ALDO_NOVA
why do they list the weapon as a "handgun" when there were no witnesses or weapon left behind? how would they even know this detail
▼ Celticgirlonamission
I've worked In trauma many years, and yes I can usually tell what caliber GSW is just by looking at the wound
▼ mrjdouble
I believe it would be fairly obvious by looking at him that he was shot. More specifically by a smaller caliber, which would narrow it down to a handgun. A high powered rifle, shotgun or handgun all leave very distinctive characteristics.
▼ ALDO_NOVA
a .22 is a .22 is a .22 - handgun or rifle - you would NOT be able to tell
▼ popezandy
I'm pretty sure evidence in an ongoing investigation isn't available for freedom of information act requests. If the investigation is officially closed, I'm also pretty sure all of that information is then available to FOIA unless it compromises national security.

Hurry and watch this video before it's deleted. Victims speak out. The children really got to me. So sad but important! https://youtu.be/d-1ZQthxwnA

Appeal to the public living in a few block radius to see if they have private cameras, and also look into Shot Spotter. They are acoustic sensors that back record when a gun shot goes off. It could tell you the exact location of shots, how many shots and in what succession (think: one to down him, then execution shot), what caliber, type of gun, and maybe even more. Could even pick up a car or van accelerating away, which would help narrow leads on suspects.
▼ pauly_pants
If he was alive and conscious for an hour after the shooting, I wonder if he mentioned any details to the officers?
▼ crystalclearme
Absolutely wondering this and how it has or has not been followed up on. This is the sort of stuff we used to count on real journalists doing and investigating and reporting back. Now it just gets forgotten
▼ KansasJakeBG
I don't think Seaman is a great talking head anymore. His daily ramblings are repetitive now and he says things that we have not been able to prove yet again and again. We suspect J Podesta is exactly what Breitbart said he was, someone overseeig and covering up for child sex trafficking. Nobody really knows if Podesta is a pedophile or if that aspect of the conspiracy is really what motivates this whole endeavor.
▼ KansasJakeBG
This is a great idea. I am looking at what FOIA requests I can make that would be helpful.
Question: Who is Seth Rich? I know he was a Clinton campaign staffer, but where can I find info about what he did, day-to-day?
▼ MAGABoomer
Seth Rich leaked the DNC emails...like the ones exposing Donna Brazille and media complicity etc.
▼ Fateswebb
He worked on an app that allowed hillary supporters to find polling locations. According to his girlfriend he had found some scam that was going on with the polling locations. He would have known about possible bad deeds in other words. His girlfriend posted to facebook that she knows why he was killed and that it was he had uncovered a voting scam and had been asking questions about it.
▼ KansasJakeBG
Thanks Fateswebb, that explains much better who he was. So based on this, his murder would have to do with the primary voting . And the fraud would have to do about the widely reported shutting out of Bernie Sanders. Or is it related to the general election?
▼ Fateswebb
Well there are three theories, I think he is the podesta Wikileak. But others think he discovered a voting scam, or even both..
▼ Fateswebb
I asked him in a comment on one of his videos, and linked it to this thread, I urge others to try this as well, not sure how to get his attention. The video I commented on had over 600 main comment threads so unlikely he will see it. but worth a try.
▼ WakeyWake
Ok thanks for the info :)

From my experience, lawyers have the best luck on returned foia's
▼ Fateswebb
I wonder if we have a good lawyer on our side... hmm.

According the the Police Report the "shots fired" notice came from Shot Spotter which is an automated system. http://www.shotspotter.com One would wonder, since this was at the corner of a city address if there were any traffic cams or private security cams on the residences. Wonder if those were checked out by the DC police?
▼ mrjdouble
We've all seen, "the First 48 hours". After securing the crime scene, this would be step one of a legit investigation.
▼ MAGABoomer
The family had a reward and hired a PI to scout for video and they did indeed find a video from a private place that showed Seth Rich was attacked by two men.
▼ anonymousj
Appears from this article the DC police did check surrouonding security cams. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3688415/Father-DNC-staffer-Seth-Rich-tells-son-wanted-make-difference-phone-girlfriend-nurdered-deserted-Washington-DC-street-family-prepares-funeral.html
▼ Fateswebb
We could also include this information in the request I believe. thanks for the details.
▼ Azagthoth

Isn't he banned or something? I thought I read somewhere he was suspended.
▼ TRUTHWARRIOR
If you look at how much lying and stonewalling the city of newtown and state of connetictut have done to wolfgang halbig, you might get some perspective on how to be ready for this. All of the sandy hoax FOIA hearings i believe are on YT. A large portion of them pertain to getting raw dashcam video unmolested (no pun intended) to this date they have not received them.
▼ Fateswebb
and yet the video they have released shows nothing.
▼ SaneGoatiSwear
set rich (last line)
▼ Fateswebb
lol sorry fixed.
▼ SaneGoatiSwear
no worries just helpin. i make mistakes all the time and gotta fix em so i know dat feel.
▼ Azagthoth

▼ WindowsInJudgement
RIP Seth
▼ SaneGoatiSwear
lol op had spelled it wrong in op.
▼ gopluckyourself
The official foia request how to. Should have basically all relevant information on how to submit an foia and how to research if the the information is already publicly available.

▼ crystalclearme
I appreciate seeing the police report! Amazing how the most simple of things have slipped by without action. Great idea and you are absolutely correct it needs to be done. Makes you wonder what he said... I had no idea he was still alive after he was shot and was transported... God bless him he will not be forgotten
▼ Devious1
The body cams had malware, which was planted by the Russians.
▼ StrangeHologram
Yes. We need a prom youtuber or someone to be the "face" of this investigation.
▼ Fateswebb
I agree I could try, but we need someone more trusted than me, like seaman maybe idk.
▼ Yuke
Oh that sucks. I had always assumed this was a quick death but that says it was 1h 37m later that he eventually died. While you're at it, bodycams for the Comet gunman incident also.
▼ mrjdouble
Which is strange to me if this was a professional hit. Shoot him multiple times in the back, take nothing and flee. Doesn't make it look like a robbery or random shooting; would also leave him alive and possibly able to tell one last story before he expired.
▼ srayzie
I have read that he was walking and on his cell phone with his girlfriend. I'd like to know what she heard. Maybe he shouted out a name or something. She's probably scared to talk
▼ User890020
...For now
▼ DontTreadOnMemes
She said in an interview the person who killed him was "full of anger" if I remember correctly.
▼ FuckUredditFuckuSpez
Yeah, I don't think they can do that during an "actual investigation", and technically neither of these are closed.
Let me reiterate I DONT THINK, they can...
If they are technically allowed to do that, then I know they will say they can't.
That being said. We need be FOIAING every fucking thing that's related to this government corruption of the highest order. All of it. The fucking FBI laid it out plain and simple, when they told us that we have the option of doing it via internet...
And What the fuck have we produced via FOIA requests? Nothing.(Or maybe it was buried)
"Oh @fuckuredditfuckuspez , what FOIA requests have you applied for?"
Listen, I could make up an excuse, but I don't want to lie to my voat brethren... I don't have an excuse... So Don't do as I do, Do AS I SAY, mother fuckers. sorry, the mother fuckers part sounded more motivating in my head
Be better than @fuckuredditfuckuspez , and start these fucking FOIAs
▼ LostandFound
Foia costs don't beat yourself up
▼ srayzie
I think you're right mother fucker lol. Just kidding. But yeah, I agree
▼ quantokitty
Absolutely. Request everything. You never know and it makes it more difficult to lie about certain details.
