Attorney Ty Clevenger has launched a scathing attack on the FBI, accusing the bureau of concealing critical documents. Clevenger exposes what he describes as a systematic effort to hide evidence that could potentially disprove the official narrative surrounding the DNC email leak. Was the Russia collusion narrative pushed to hide the real source of the DNC email?
FBI Transparency Battle Intensifies
Attorney Ty Clevenger has escalated his fight against what he calls “deliberate and willful defiance” by the FBI regarding Seth Rich documents. The agency initially denied possessing Rich’s laptop before legal pressure forced them to admit they had it, creating a pattern of obfuscation that Clevenger claims continues to this day.
Clevenger represents Brian Huddleston in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that has uncovered troubling inconsistencies in the FBI’s handling of the Rich case. Despite acknowledging possession of Rich’s work laptop and other devices, the FBI refuses to release metadata from these sources or confirm whether they’ve reviewed their contents.

The WikiLeaks Connection
The heart of Clevenger’s allegations centers on evidence suggesting Seth Rich, not Russian hackers, was the source of DNC emails published by WikiLeaks in 2016. Julian Assange has repeatedly hinted at Rich’s involvement, while Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh discussed FBI documents acknowledging Rich’s communications with WikiLeaks.
Clevenger’s letter connects the FBI’s actions to the U.S. v. Netyksho case, which linked Rich’s laptop to alleged Russian hackers. The attorney argues that the bureau’s refusal to release records is a calculated attempt to protect the official narrative of Russian involvement in the DNC email leak, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.
Our letter to @FBIDirectorKash and @AGPamBondi outlines clear evidence that (1) the @FBI (and @CIA) are hiding records about the true origins of the Russia hoax and (2) the @DCPoliceDept and @USAO_DC have ignored obvious evidence about the murder of Seth Rich.

Broader Implications and Proposed Reforms
The concealment extends beyond the FBI, with Clevenger accusing the CIA of potentially fabricating evidence to frame Russia and undermine Trump. The intelligence agency has refused to confirm or deny the existence of related records, citing national security concerns, while Clevenger calls for an investigation by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Clevenger’s letter also raises questions about the role of Aaron Rich, Seth’s brother, who allegedly took Seth’s devices after his murder. Aaron has filed lawsuits against those suggesting his involvement in the email leak and has refused to authorize WikiLeaks to disclose information about Seth’s potential role, adding another layer of complexity to an already mysterious case.
To combat what he sees as systemic FOIA violations, Clevenger proposes several reforms to government transparency. “Federal employees know there are no consequences for violating FOIA,” Clevenger states, advocating for the appointment of a “chief transparency officer” and the criminalization of deliberate FOIA violations to ensure accountability within federal agencies.
