Matt’s periscope today was very disturbing. I will refrain from speculation, but his disclosure that Seth’s DNC coworkers abandoned him at a house “party”, held “in his honor” that was hosted in a home owned by Imran Awan, painted a very dark scene in my mind.

In all candor, I only started following this story closely after the release of the Sy Hersh audio. I have a lot of catching up to do and, based on what I have read in the news and social media, the America First Media team strikes me as the only credible investigators working the case.

For example, this past week I watched Lee Stranahan on Periscope discuss the significance of the Hersh audio. During his presentation he reported the fake news that there was a photo of Seth Rich with Imran Awan. He corrected himself when he saw his screen light up from a listener saying it had been photoshopped, which is also incorrect. He then pivoted to say how terrible it was that someone would do such a thing.

Unless Lee Stranahan has reviewed your group’s report on the source of the photo, he probably still believes it was photoshopped. With so much conflicting disinformation surrounding the Seth Rich story, I can understand how frustrating it must be for you and the America First Media investigators.

I have also recognized how the America First Media team pursues independent confirmation of news reports on the case before accepting them as fact. In your article published last week, regarding the plethora of fake and uncorroborated news and social media reports, you specifically noted the AFM team did not possess any evidence that there was a connection between Imran Awan and Seth Rich or that DNC staffers had attended a party with Seth on the night he was murdered. Apparently, based on Matt’s Periscope presentation today, new information has come to light since your last report.

This is why I trust the validity of Matt’s report and believe in your team’s investigative credibility. Thank you for your excellent reporting on breaking developments in the case. I look forward to learning more as the AFM investigation proceeds.
