Right-wing ghouls revive the Seth Rich conspiracy theory 10 years after his murder
Written by Matt Gertz
Published 07/09/26
It's 2026 and MAGA lickspittle Benny Johnson is hosting a discussion of whether Hillary Clinton had former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich killed in 2016.
“This is why it's called a conspiracy theory,” former American Conservative contributing editor Chris Brunet told Johnson during a lengthy interview about Rich’s tragic murder on Johnson’s show Wednesday. “It's because it's a conspiracy of top DNC officials, including Hillary Clinton, to essentially murder Seth Rich in cold blood, is the conspiracy theory. And I believe that's what happened. I don’t believe he was the victim of a random mugging.”
Brunet added that President Donald Trump “should open a new investigation into the murder of Seth Rich to try to find his killers.”
“I would love for there to be a full investigation into this,” Johnson replied, later telling his audience to subscribe to Brunet’s Substack and “send tips if you know anything about this.”

These ghouls are reviving the Seth Rich conspiracy theory nearly a decade after it first became a cause célèbre for the online right, which baselessly linked Rich’s tragic murder on July 10, 2016, in what police determined was an unsolved botched robbery while he was walking home late at night in Washington, D.C., to WikiLeaks’ release 12 days later of thousands of internal DNC emails whose contents damaged Clinton’s presidential campaign.
News accounts citing intelligence sources quickly suggested that Russian hackers had stolen the emails and provided them to WikiLeaks; the U.S. intelligence community publicly stated in October 2016that Russia had hacked the DNC; and the final report from then-special counsel Robert Mueller, who secured indictments against 12 Russian intelligence officers for the DNC hack, concluded that the emails were stolen and released through WikiLeaks as part of a Kremlin plot to undermine Clinton’s campaign. But right-wing conspiracy theorists, seeking to undermine arguments that Trump was too close to the Kremlin, claimed based on just about nothing that Rich had been the true source of the emails, and that he had been murdered — perhaps on Clinton’s order — in retaliation for their release.
The conspiracy theory was relegated to far-right fever swamps at first. But the story burst into the mainstream 10 months after Rich’s death, after Fox News published a thinly sourced online article and aired a series of on-air segments that bought into the far-right narrative.
Veteran Fox host Sean Hannity became the conspiracy theory’s biggest champion, arguing that it debunked “the whole Russia collusion narrative.” Meanwhile, Rich’s anguished family begged him and the rest of the conspiracy theorists to stop. “With every conspiratorial flare-up, we are forced to relive Seth’s murder and a small piece of us dies as more of Seth’s memory is torn away from us,” his parents wrote in The Washington Post. Ultimately, Fox retracted its article, claiming that it had not met the network’s standards, and Hannity stopped talking about the story.
This was perhaps the saddest and most grotesque saga I’ve seen come out of the right-wing media in my 19 years at Media Matters. And as the 10th anniversary of Rich’s murder approaches, the conspiracy theorists are back.
The hook for Brunet’s appearance on Johnson’s show is an allegation from attorney Ty Clevenger, posted online Monday and boosted the next day by the conspiracy theory site Gateway Pundit, claiming that “an attorney for the government told me that I would soon be getting confirmation that several hundred pages of documents related to Seth Rich were found in a previously-hidden room at FBI headquarters” where they were supposedly “among the files designated for destruction.”
Jim Hoft, an endless font of credulity and stupidity, explained in his post why this is supposed to matter:
This is the same FBI that originally told Clevenger back in 2017 it had zero records on Seth Rich because the bureau “was not involved” in the investigation of his death. They claimed it was nothing more than a “botched robbery” handled solely by local D.C. police.
Over the years, through relentless FOIA litigation and court pressure, the FBI has been forced to admit it actually possesses thousands of pages of Seth Rich documents, including his work laptop, an image of his personal laptop, and a DVD. Yet they continue to fight tooth and nail to keep the full truth hidden.
One possible explanation for this alleged disparity is that while the FBI did say in May 2017 that it was not involved in the investigation of Rich’s death, Mueller’s April 2019 final report suggests that some investigation did subsequently take place: It specifically confirms that Rich was not the source that provided the DNC emails to WikiLeaks. The records, in other words, could have been created while the FBI was knocking down the online right’s conspiracy theory.
The fever-swamp explanation, however, is that the FBI was in on the conspiracy in which Clinton had Rich killed for leaking the DNC emails to WikiLeaks, covered it up, kept all the evidence through the four years of the first Trump administration and the four years of the Biden administration and only decided to destroy them when Trump came back into power, but waited too long and his minions found it.
Dabbling in this particular insanity is not without risk. While Fox did not hold its employees accountable for their repulsive behavior, the network paid what was reportedly “a lucrative seven figure payment to the Rich family” to get them to settle a lawsuit. But the story offers Johnson’s ilk a priceless opportunity to talk about FBI documents that aren’t the Epstein files that acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is illegally withholding.

20 pp
SUMMARY: The nomination of Lisa Cook to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, while successful and
historic, was not without bad-faith conservative attacks demeaning Cook’s background. Cook is a tenured
economics professor at Michigan State University (MSU) and has held roles at Harvard and Stanford in
addition to visiting roles at multiple Federal Reserve Banks and a position on the White House Council of
Economic Advisors Under President Obama. Despite her formidable qualifications, conservative attacks
centered around an attempt to paint Cook as underqualified.
Cook was confirmed as the first Black woman on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors on May 10th,
2022 – 118 days after her initial nomination on January 13th, 2022. Since there are only six members of the
Federal Reserve Board of Governors, it’s hard to draw comparisons to Cook’s nomination process. Cook
would have been confirmed two weeks earlier on April 26th had it not been for Democratic absences due to
COVID. Cook’s name was first floated for the position as early as February 2021, which gave the
conservative apparatus ample time to formulate attacks and lines of inquiry during hearings.
These attacks seem to originate from an independent investigative journalist and Daily Caller contributor,
Christopher Brunet, working via a Substack page titled “Karlstack Economics.” Brunet began looking into
Cook in the Spring of 2021, and immediately started questioning her qualifications for the position saying if
Cook “were an Asian male economist, she would be laughed out of any school in the top 200.” Brunet’s
reporting was picked up by the Daily Caller and Tucker Carlson in February 2022, and the next month
Brunet released a copy of Cook’s tenure packet, doubling down on his assertion that Cook was unqualified.
At the same time, the conservative opposition research firm the American Accountability Foundation (A.A.F)
started to boost Brunet’s reporting on Twitter and released video clips of Cook speaking out of context on
Zoom calls.The A.A.F. is a non-profit republican opposition research firm founded by former Senate staffers
for Republican Jim DeMint, who now runs the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI). Notably, CPI is listed
as the “care of name” on the A.A.F.’s founding tax form. Since the A.A.F was founded in January 2021, little
is known about its funding sources.Nevertheless, the A.A.F. began with around $600,000 in funding, and
projects to have over $1 million in funding in subsequent years.
The attacks against Cook’s qualifications culminated in Senator Hagerty calling for Cook’s background to be
investigated, though any such investigation did not end up happening as Cook was successfully confirmed
weeks later.

Journal of Finance Withdraws Article Following Karlstack Investigation
Two months ago I examined the case of a finance professor at the University of Chicago and a finance professor at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign who wrote a paper together called “Tax Policy and Abnormal Investment Behavior.” The problem with this 2022 paper is that it blatantly plagiarizes an obscure 1993 paper, and tries to hide this plagiarism by explaining it away in a very fishy footnote. In my article I described this strategy as:

Ryan, I’ve known you for over a decade.
Here’s a candid appraisal of the situation. You are unfit to be an academic. You lack the most basic math and technical skills (you tried to study Congress and this was a barrier so you moved into REP). You need to hire an army of RAs to run your analyses, and editorial services to improve your writing. You routinely source ideas from low-tier journals and student papers, without attribution. When you do come up with your own ideas, the theories are so far-fetched that they would never receive support without extensive data manipulation. Think about it. People vote solely on the basis of who their neighbors are, and they have such short memory that if said neighbors move out, they forget all about it and no longer bother turning out to vote. A brief train ride during which they hear people speak Spanish radically changes Anglos’ views on immigration. How did you imagine this was going to fly?

How the Australian Regime is Weaponizing Credentialism to Crackdown on Free Speech & Independent Journalism on Behalf of Vested Interests
In an information sheet released last month, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) announced a push to send any financial blogger who provides stock tips to jail for up to 5 years. I know several Aussie Substack writers who have been shut down by this law. They want this injustice covered, but are afraid to speak up because if they even criticize their own regulator they are afraid they will be targeted by their government. I am therefore writing this article to give a voice to these bloggers (government dissidents?).

It fits the tale of how at the height of the 2018 #MeToo frenzy, Dr. Roland Fryer — the youngest black professor to ever be tenured at Harvard, and the single highest paid professor in the entire Faculty of Arts and Sciences — was strung up by a pack of mean, privileged, liberal white girls.
