Wheeler was fired from the department in 1995, since 2002 he has been a Fox News stooge while making up shit like 'lesbian killer gangs' (150 of them exists he said, couldn't show one) and he is being paid for by ANOTHER Fox News stooge to 'investigate' (make stuff up ) about Rich. Wheeler isn't staff because he doesn't work for Fox, he is a talking head paid by them for appearances, he is not part of the organization Comprende?
The initial Russia investigation / scandal is based on those emails being leaked. given that comey was just fired. does it not make sense that an FBI source would leak the info that it was from Rich... right now. you obviously are not thinking. now there are apparently other Russia intervention investigations too like the crazy pee dossier... but there is no doubt those emails are part of an investigation.
The Russian investigation started months AFTER Rich was killed, even the DNC email leaks investigation started AFTER the leaks started so how come FBI who weren't investigating Rich's murder managed to analyze his computer within 96 hours? Is it me who isn't thinking? Sure?
explain how this 96 hours limits whether the fbi might know if rich leaked dnc emails to wikileaks in london. you realize that we have learned we capture all communications with foreigners. the program is called echelon... the Obama administration is accused of unmasking people who are caught up in the surveillance. The FBI could have acquired those documents myraid ways. you keep trying to spin these facts to wheeler and the brother's statement. I keep bringing you back to the fact fox says it has and federal law enforcement source.
Seth died on July 10, Wikileaks started leaking on July 22 - what basis do you have to say that the FBI knew Seth Rich was leaking the emails BEFORE the leaks became public. Was he under surveillance by the FBI? If so, Trump could easily declassify this info and confirm it - until then what you are suggesting is over the top speculation. Secondly, Wikileaks have secure ways to communicate unlike dumbasses like Flynn, Manning released thousands of classified documents to Wikileaks and nobody knew till the leaks started. Thirdly and MOST IMPORTANT point - if the FBI knew that Seth Rich was leaking DNC emails (an illegal action) then why didn't they arrest him and put an end to it, what were they waiting for? This is where your speculation collapses. Why would FBI let Seth Rich do all that while knowing he is doing it without putting an end to it. What has stopped the FBI to reveal that Rich was the leaker? He is dead, what's the harm in making that announcement?
the way I read it works is that Echelon captures everything and it is stored. So while it is possible the surveillance was real time... it was likely called up after it was stored.
If Rich was transmitting emails then it happened over a period of few days and if FBI could have zeroed in on him within 2 days of his death then they had plenty of time to arrest him or stop him while he was leaking the emails. Your timeline makes no sense.
I offered no timeline. you are the one offering up timelines. I don't think you are getting what I wrote. Everything is captured whether you are under wiretap orders or not. So most likely they were not monitoring Rich real time. But... at some point in time after it occurred they could have done a database search and found the communications. Just like they could pull up any emails you made to someone overseas.. yesterday or last year. (and here is a hint... England or Austrailia could pull them up even if they stayed within the USA.)
