In 2017, Donna Brazile, who had worked on Hillary Clinton's campaign, said she had "feared for her life" after the #SethRich murder. The right took those words and ran with them as more evidence HRC had Rich killed. (Brazile is now at Fox News.)

The claim from both the right and the alt left was that Hillary Clinton had Seth Rich killed because he had blown the whistle on her rigging the election.

Back in 2017, some of us knew that was lunacy.

#SteveBannon was at the core of the #SethRich conspiracy.
And let's not forget, Trump never disavowed him.
It was #JohnKelly who fired Bannon.
This whole wild story reminds us that 2020 is still very much at risk.
