There are many posts, articles, and other tid-bits from the Seth Rich and the Russia investigation but I have yet to see a comprehensive timeline which encapsulates all of the information in an easy to digest format. It is difficult, for me, to truly comprehend the gravity of the case and how it appears. So, I started to compile a timeline of events surrounding Seth Rich and the events surrounding him available from the Interwebs and in doing so opted to share it here with the best critical thinkers. I would like to keep a running timeline on this topic for new information as a one-stop-shop for people who are interested in the Seth Rich investigation and the Russian Collusion investigation.

Thanks for keeping us up to date with what the media wants us paying attention to as opposed to what they don’t want us paying attention to.

Excellent job!! Thank you!!


My only suggestion would be to add a space between the dates. Other than that, the time and effort you donated in order to make this thread is much appreciated. Beats watching a YouTube video.

Most time lines about people start with the date of their birth and date of death.

S&F for the OP for taking the time to put this together.

* 2011 – Graduated from Creighton University Citation


Where he studied political science and history, not comptuer science/information technology. (not a discrepancy on your part, just pointing that out)


2014 – Contacted KimDotCom under the alias Panda to discuss corruption and corporate money involved in politics Citation


Unsubstantiated. KDC also promised evidence and didn't deliver. Completely absurd to include this.


2015 – Seth Rich created a subreddit site: Pandas for Bernie Citation
February 22, 2015 – Podesta emails demonstrate Podesta is willing to make an “example out of leakers” www.w********s.org/podesta-emails/emailid/36082#efmAGSAH
2016 – Seth Rich is the user MeGrimlock4 on reddit Citation


Unsubstantiated.
Podesta email has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Seth Rich, hacked emails, etc. Why is this on the list?
Unsubstantiated.


April, 2016 – First alerts of server problems at the DNC Citation


That's actually not true either. The FBI noticed something amiss in the Fall of 2015 and after several weeks, reached out to warn the DNC of suspected foreign hacking only to reach the contracted system admin who thought it was a prank.

I'll follow up with any other issues in a new post.

Most of us will appreciate your efforts in streamlining the events.
Let's hope that others will come along to fill in the gaps.

Thank you I corrected the alleged ties. As I mentioned I was compiling this for myself and didn't use any language such as 'alleged' or 'claims' or refutes, but instead used headlines or things like "Hillary confirms Russian Connection" instead of "Hillary alleges Russian Connection" so there's a lot of this sort of information in there where it should say "claims" and "alleged".

The Podesta emails (and other random tid-bits) are there because many people consider them important to the Seth Rich case. Same with Shawn Lucus. I would keep them in the timeline because it gives reference as to when these events occurred. Same with the reddit information which I doubt is relevant but people are pointing to it so I included it in my own timeline. Which reminds me I didn't even mention the posts were supposed to be edited. Thank you for pointing these out and please continue so I can corret verbiage as you explore.

April, 2016 :



"Nearly two months earlier, in April, the Democrats had noticed that something was wrong in their networks. Then, in early May, the DNC called in CrowdStrike, a security firm that specializes in countering advanced network threats. After deploying their tools on the DNC's machines, and after about two hours of work, CrowdStrike found 'two sophisticated adversaries' on the Committee's network. The two groups were well-known in the security industry as 'APT 28' and 'APT 29.' APT stands for Advanced Persistent Threat—usually jargon for spies. CrowdStrike linked both groups to 'the Russian government's powerful and highly capable intelligence services.' " — Motherboard, July 25, 2016

What was his job position within the DNC?

Rich was the Voter Expansion Data Director at the DNC.

Do you think a data analyst doesn’t have user permissions to access data. It is not a stretch to assume he had access to the e-mail database.

June 14, 2016 – DNC Claims Russians attacked DNC servers and has CrowdStrike start to investigate Citation


That's false. Crowdstrike had already been called in weeks before this and in fact, it was a few days prior that CrowdStrike locked the hackers out of the network. The CrowdStrike announcement that the DNC had been hacked was on June 14.


August 10, 2016 – Assange implies Seth Rich WL link Citation


That's open to interpretation. I tend to agree that he was implying it but probably for a different reason than most reading this. (fueling CTs)


August 20, 2016 – Seth Rich is believed to have been working on cases related to Voter and Election Fraud and set to testify in for FBI in the Clinton email investigation Citation


I think you have the wrong link here because that article makes no mention of any of that. How would Seth Rich have testified to anything regarding the Clinton email system? Also, "working on cases" means what? From what I've read, he was working on a voter expansion program that would find open polling centers for voters.
