But if Seth Rich was the souce he’s beyond protection
Assange mightn’t want to discourage leakers due to possibility villains they might out, might murder them -but if murder as a deterrant is happening it needs exposure
If Seth Rich was murdered as a message to leakers, and that family has been threatened or is afraid they might be harmed, IMO that’s Mafia style bullying
Any threats or harm to them or their families will almost certainly lead to fingerpointing at the nefarious, over-powerful unaccountable Deep State and elites of the DNC and Democratic Party
