IDK, I have a different theory. From the beginning (eg 2015, or as soon as it became apparent Trump was possibly to be the candidate), I think they wanted to frame him with a Trump/Russia collusion story.

They tried many times. Popadopoulus. Trump Tower meeting. $2m for emails to Roger Stone. I’m sure there were others. At every turn, the Trump campaign proved to have something they didn’t expect (based on their own behaviors): honesty and integrity.

Anyway, I think the DNC hack was fake - intentional. They knew what was in it - slightly embarrassing stuff, but nothing big - and they intentionally leaked it to WikiLeaks and tried to make it look like Russia did it.

One file was release (just one). It was a supposed oppo research on Trump. Get it? The one and only file was meant to plant a fake alibi about the dossier (“you can see our oppo research - it wasn’t a dossier”).

That’s why the FBI didn’t want to touch the servers. They knew the hack was a lie, by letting a third party examine, FBI gained “plausible deniability”.

Point is, I think they had loyal Seth Rich go to WikiLeaks with the data, knowing he could be trusted to keep it quiet by saying they wanted to blame “Russians”, then had him killed when he was no longer useful.

I can’t prove it, but it just makes a lot more sense when you look at all that went on, and the timeframes, if the “hack” was fake and pre-planned.
