But Tuesday afternoon, Wheeler told CNN he had no evidence to suggest Rich had contacted Wikileaks before his death.
Wheeler instead said he only learned about the possible existence of such evidence through the reporter he spoke to for the FoxNews.com story. He explained that the comments he made to WTTG-TV were intended to simply preview Fox News' Tuesday story. The WTTG-TV news director did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
"I only got that [information] from the reporter at Fox News," Wheeler told CNN.
Asked about a quote attributed to him in the Fox News story in which he said his "investigation up to this point shows there was some degree of email exchange between Seth Rich and Wikileaks," Wheeler said he was referring to information that had already been reported in the media.
A Fox News spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.
I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider.
The source of these emails and leaks has nothing to do with Russia at all. I discovered what the source was when I attended the Sam Adam's whistleblower award in Washington. The source of these emails comes from within official circles in Washington DC. You should look to Washington not to Moscow.
Less than 24 hours after Private Investigator Rod Wheeler claimed that “investigation up to this point shows there was some degree of email exchange between Seth Rich and WikiLeaks,” the story has changed. Wheeler is now claiming that he had no additional evidence to suggest that Seth Rich contacted WikiLeaks prior to his murder.

What compelling case? I've been following along the whole time and I've completely missed it. One of the most interesting of the bombshell-turned-duds was the Craig Murray account. A lot of people who keep making these outlandish Seth Rich claims jumped all over it as proof that the source was a leak and therefore, Seth Rich.
What they neglected to see was that Craig Murray also claimed that he'd met the leaker in D.C. at the Sam Adams Award ceremony. That ceremony was held on September 25th, 2016 — months after Seth Rich's murder.
Of course Assange wouldn't come right out and say that it was bs, only that Craig Murray was a friend of his but not authorized to speak for him or WL. However, the WL Twitter account tweeted out Craig Murray's blog post. At the same time, Assange allows people to think that his $20k reward offer indicates that Seth Rich was the source.
Do you see the problem there?
Here's the links:

Craig Murray to Sputnik:

I've just shown you that WL is promoting contradictory narratives. How do you feel about that?

I want to say this again,
- Seth Rich was a Sanders supporter, a genuine Democrat who loved his country.
- He was outraged that the DNC cheated Sanders (when he won)
- He didnt want this act of treason to go unnoticed so he leaked the emails.
- He was then mysteriously murdered (in a robbery) where nothing was stolen.
- Assange offers a reward (has Assange ever offered a reward for a Dems misfortune?)
- The Democrats want the case to disappear quickly
- A man comes forward claiming Seth Rich was the leaker
- Kim Dot Com says he was involved and will prove it via his lawyers
- Seth Richs reddit accounts are found and mysteriously being edited
- CNN Refuses to discuss the story
- Fox NEWS is running the story and is being ridiculed by CNN For doing it
any yet.. you all want this case to just ''go away'' because of the hurt it will cause the families? They're sons dead, nothing will bring it back and I bet they want the truth more than we do.
Wheeler also did not backtrack on his story, he simply said it was not the FBI who gave him the info, which means the info is still there.
... to the OP - see that? I didnt need to belittle anyone or name call or be a grade A prick to get my point across.
