Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
7 minTim lays out the Seth Rich murder theory in detail — the botched robbery, Assange's insinuations, the Fox News retraction and lawsuit — while stressing repeatedly that he doesn't actually know what happened and is skeptical of easy conspiracy narratives.
- 39:06Seth Rich's family immediately denied the Fox News story as ridiculous and bunk.
- 39:31Tim questions whether the lawsuit alleges Obama's White House or Trump's White House pushed the story.
- 39:57Everyone in these situations has an agenda, and Tim admits he doesn't know anything about Seth Rich.
- 40:35They don't usually kill these guys; it seems odd to whack someone and then make a public story about it.
- 41:23Tim is skeptical of the botched robbery story because most people hand over their wallet when facing a gun.
- 42:28Tim doesn't discount human error or hysteria, but he also doesn't know Julian Assange's real motivation.
- 42:45If Assange implied Seth Rich was leaking to him, that would scare off future sources.
- 43:01Ten years in an Ecuadorian embassy under house arrest might have changed who Assange is mentally.
- 43:46Tim doesn't believe anybody and doesn't know what's going on with the Seth Rich narrative.
- 44:38People tend to talk about these things years later on their deathbed, when journalists finally investigate.
