Here's a new twist. Remember when the wing nut media was accusing Hillary Clinton of murdering Seth Rich??
EXCLUSIVE: Republican lobbyist says he has 'evidence' that 27-year-old DNC analyst Seth Rich was murdered after discovering Russian operatives had hacked the DNC and has asked Congress for investigation
Seth Rich, 27, was fatally shot in the back while walking home alone in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of D.C. in the early hours of July 10 last year
At the time of his death, he was working as a data analyst for the Democratic National Committee

A longtime GOP operative is asking Congress to investigate whether or not Russia is behind the murder of a young Democratic National Committee staffer.
Seth Rich, 27, was fatally shot in the back while walking home alone in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of D.C. in the early hours of July 10 last year. At the time of his death, he was working as a data analyst for the DNC.
Eight months on, there are no leads and no suspects in the homicide investigation. DC police have said nothing was stolen from Rich and that the murder was a botched robbery.
Now, GOP lobbyist and DC lawyer Jack Burkman has formally appealed to Congress to investigate following new evidence he says he's obtained that Russia may be behind Rich's murder.
In an exclusive interview, Burkman told DailyMail.com, that when he first came across the murder in a newspaper, it struck him as 'very, very odd'.
He said: 'Nothing was taken from Seth – not his wallet, gold chain, credit cards or a sizeable amount of cash. So you know there's no robbery gone awry. Then the question becomes, what was it?
'Now I think we have our first big news in the case – we have leads and evidence of Russian involvement.'
While Burkman is reluctant to elaborate, he revealed he was recently contacted about the investigation by a man claiming to be a former U.S. intelligence officer. The source is an older man, 65-70 years old, who claims to have been a contractor in Iraq in the 1970s, he revealed.
'The source has claimed that it [the murder] was arranged by the Russian government at a very high level,' Burkman said.
'He didn't specify who or how. He just said he had knowledge it was arranged by the Russian government and stressed that it was at a high level.'
He added: 'I've met this person and he seems very credible. We're now investigating the allegations he has made.'
Burkman believes the source will cooperate with the investigation. He is wary about revealing too much and has hired a private security firm to protect his family.
'These days we all know what the Russian government is like and because I'm concerned with my safety and my family's safety, I have to be careful about what I put on the record,' he said.
Burkman believes that Rich was killed after discovering Russian operatives had hacked the DNC through his work on a 'highly important voter registration program'.
