In a flagrant display of disregard for judicial authority, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has continued to withhold crucial evidence in the high-profile case of Seth Rich’s murder. Despite a federal judge’s explicit order, the agency has failed to turn over materials that could potentially shed light on the unsolved case, raising serious concerns about transparency and accountability within one of the nation’s top law enforcement agencies.
Attorney Ty Clevenger, known for his relentless pursuit of truth and justice, has been at the forefront of efforts to compel the Department of Justice and the FBI to release information pertaining to the Seth Rich investigation. His dogged determination stems from a broader quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding the DNC and Podesta emails leaked during the 2016 election cycle—a saga that has captivated and divided the nation.
The FBI has defied a court order and is refusing to turn over Seth Rich evidence of murder to his attorney.
They are protecting the name of one man in particular:

The refusal of the FBI to comply with the court’s demands is not only a legal anomaly but also a challenge to the very foundations of our legal system. The agency’s request for an additional 66 years before releasing the information echoes the infamous delay in the release of the JFK assassination reports, suggesting a pattern of obfuscation and evasion when it comes to matters of public interest.
It was just over a year ago that the FBI attempted to bury the information on Seth Rich for an extended period, akin to sealing away a time capsule of truth. However, the recent ruling by Judge Amos L. Mazzant mandated the handover of Rich’s personal and work laptops, a DVD, and a thumb drive within a two-week timeframe—a directive that has been blatantly ignored for over 40 days.

This act of defiance by the FBI under Director Chris Wray’s leadership has sparked outrage among those who advocate for the rule of law. The agency’s non-compliance sends a chilling message that even the most powerful investigative body in the country can operate above the law, undermining the principles of justice and due process.
The silence of mainstream media on this issue is deafening, as they have largely turned a blind eye to the developments in the Seth Rich case. This lack of coverage stands in stark contrast to the exhaustive reporting on other high-profile investigations, revealing a selective approach to journalism that skews public perception and awareness.
As the public awaits the FBI’s compliance, the question looms: what are the implications of such a standoff between a federal agency and the judiciary? The integrity of our institutions hangs in the balance, as does the public’s trust in those charged with upholding the law.
The American people deserve answers, and the continued stonewalling by the FBI only serves to erode confidence in the agency’s commitment to transparency. It is imperative that the FBI adhere to the court’s order and provide the evidence related to Seth Rich’s murder, lest we allow the precedent of lawlessness to take root in the very institutions designed to protect and serve our nation.
