Imagine losing your son to a murder in DC. Then imagine unscrupulous nutbags at places like Infowars and Fox News using your son's death to concoct conspiracy theories about the DNC Hacking. That's what happened. Conspiracy nuts say that Hillary had Rich murdered because he was secretly the one who hacked the DNC...even though it was an organizaton he loved and worked for--and Hillary was a candidate he was devoted to promoting.
The whole story was preposterous, but it gained lots of traction in the conservative press in the days when Trump was claiming Russia had nothing to do with the hacking. Since then, of course, we've learned the truth. The Russians have all but admitted it. Every one of our allies confirm it. Rich had nothing to do with it at all. Even Fox News retracted the story. But it lives on. Trust me, I hear from my friends who are Trump apologists and they still believe this wholeheartedly. It makes it easier to forgive their potentially treasonous president.
Hopefully this lawsuit will end this ridiculous story once and for all, and make everyone who spread it accountable.
