This stems from the lawsuit that Seth's family has filed against several
news outlets including the Washington Times, filed on Tuesday.

Brother of slain DNC staffer sues Washington Times, conservative activists

Well it seems odd that if Wikileaks had nothing to do with Seth Rich
that their private messages would be sought?

Odd that earlier the CEO of Twitter had posted something about birds singing.
Guess that was a coded message to someone...
twitter.com...

Strange indeed.....I bet some "folks" in the DNC are getting a little worried.

We have heard for years that Seth Rich had nothing to do with the leaked
Hillary emails, Julian Assange and Wikileaks were fabricating and
this was just a conspiracy.

I'm thinking someone is really worried that there is evidence out there
that can come back and bite.

It's conceivably possible that they think they can somehow use the information to refute the theory that Seth leaked emails, but it doesn't seem to make much sense any way I look at it. ??? I'm gonna read the subpoena and see if it holds any clues...

Lawzy, I can't read that smeared-ink tiny-lettered thing.

What are the "Topics" mentioned? Seems like this stuff would have to be from or too Rich for them to even be able to ask?

a reply to: burntheships

If it’s Rich’s family subpoenaing the messages, maybe it’s because the have cause to believe that those messages will prove Wikileaks et al were coordinating a fake story together about their son?

They certainly wouldn’t be doing it if they thought the story was correct that Seth was a source for the stolen emails. — maybe they are looking for evidence that Seth’s untimely death was conveniently exploited by the people/ entities in the subpoenas?

Just food for thought folks...

a reply to: burntheships

Everything I've seen until this was the family was mainly responsible for blocking this line of investigation.

I wonder if this is one of those surprises?

a reply to: AboveBoard

That brushed across my mind. Makes more sense I guess. Seeing what Wiki and Kim were saying to each other. Can you determine what the "topics" that are mentioned are, AB?

a reply to: The GUT

It is a basic simply worded subpoena for the direct messages sent
on twitter, a lot of the pages are just cookie cutter disclosure type
stuff. What I find odd is the lawsuit filed Tuesday is against
Fox Business guest Ed Butowsky, the Washington Times,
Matt Couch and his America First Media group.

Wikileaks, Assange and the others are not even
party to the suit. Seems like a huge overreach.

Gateway Pundit claims and Obama lawyer is involved.

a reply to: burntheships

I'm thinking.... they didn't communicate much through DM maybe meetup times or establishing other forms of communication

I think people communicate over video games now like WOW or console..

That is a long shot. Lack of messages therefore would prove what?

Something tells me that this is not the way evidence works.

Again, something tells me this is not the way "evidence" works.
There is a line here that crosses the First Amendment, as most
of these parties are not a "party to the suit".

It might be different if they were being sued for slander or defamation.

Sounds like a mad scramble in advance of the IG report(s)

They are forming a MSM narrative guideline.

a reply to: The GUT

Found the + feature at the bottom of the frame,
works great. Yep, nothing really there....just a form
requesting electronic communications.

a reply to: xuenchen

Or free speech intimidation?

Lawyers suing journalists who covered Seth Rich are demanding Twitter turn over account information for anyone who merely retweeted a broad range of popular Twitter accounts, and their private direct messages. The lawyers in many of these cases are often associated with #Obama.

Yes, agreed. Now they do a 180 two years later,
seems like something definitely changed.

Most likely, and some of them already had their messages subpoened
by the Senate Intel etc.

Hmmm maybe the messages were leaked already?
Leaker canned? Who knows....

Wasnt the Rich's attorney connected to Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation ?
At least at one time ?

UH Oh.

I got the impression they had some inside connection to the DNC. They didn't want to rock the boat when that PI came along. Maybe someone on the inside said something to make them change their mind. It could be big.
