The Truth Factory gives penetrating insights into the claims of Kiwi Internet impresario, Kim Dotcom who says that he was personally involved in DNC staffer Seth Rich’s leaks, which were published by WikiLeaks and helped throw the US Presidential Election.
Kim was to make an official announcement about this on May 22nd and was to appear on Sean Hannity’s radio and TV broadcasts.
In response to this, Julian Assange tweeted: “WikiLeaks has never disclosed a source. Sources sometimes talk to other parties but identities never emerge from WikiLeaks. #SethRich”
(Which sounds a lot like he’s disclosing a source to me!)
Here is Kim Dotcom’s preliminary statement:
#SethRich was a hero. I know that Seth Rich was involved in the DNC leak. I know this because in late 2014 a person contacted me about helping me to start a branch of the Internet Party in the United States. He called himself Panda. I now know that Panda was Seth Rich. Panda advised me that he was working on voter analytics tools and other technologies that the Internet Party may find helpful. I communicated with Panda on a number of topics including corruption and the influence of corporate money in politics. He wanted to change that from the inside.
I was referring to what I knew when I did an interview with Bloomberg in New Zealand in May 2015. In that interview I hinted that Julian Assange and Wikileaks would release information about Hillary Clinton in the upcoming election.
The Rich family has reached out to me to ask that I be sensitive to their loss in my public comments. That request is entirely reasonable.
I have consulted with my lawyers. I accept that my full statement should be provided to the authorities and I am prepared to do that so that there can be a full investigation. My lawyers will speak with the authorities regarding the proper process.
If my evidence is required to be given in the United States I would be prepared to do so if appropriate arrangements are made. I would need a guarantee from Special Counsel Mueller, on behalf of the United States, of safe passage from New Zealand to the United States and back. In the coming days we will be communicating with the appropriate authorities to make the necessary arrangements. In the meantime, I will make no further comment.

Kim Dotcom
dotcom has proven time and time again in NZ that he is a habitual liar that will jump on what ever he can to try and get public attention, ignore him. he knows nothing but makes up a lot. If only we could finally get rid of him from NZ
Here’s a report that puts Kim’s statements regarding this case together, so far:

This might have everything to do with him losing his appeal for extradition to the USA for various felonies. He sounds like a worm.
I wouldn’t call him a worm. He is part of the hacker “Copywrong” culture. His site, Megaupload was similar to the Swedish site, Pirate Bay and the Finnish site, Napster. His felonies are for copyright infringement.

Mmmm. Suppose we’ll see if Kim Dotcom has anything to say.
