Lobbyist says he was nearly killed by man he hired to investigate Seth Rich’s death - The Washington Post
'Now Burkman alleges that man, Kevin Doherty, nearly killed him. '
'Doherty briefly worked for Burkman’s Profiling Project, which was formed to build a psychological portrait of Rich’s likely killer. '
'His profiling project concluded that Rich was shot by a hired killer, and he wonders if Doherty was working for someone else. '
'But Burkman said authorities told him they tracked down Doherty through the SUV. Burkman said police came to him in the hospital with a photo of his former employee. '
'In Burkman’s view, Doherty began speaking to reporters out of turn and tried to take over the investigation. '

Either Rachel is a rotten reporter with a short memory or someone is lying or 'shaping' the narrative.

Lobbyist says he was nearly killed by man he hired to investigate Seth Rich’s death
same pic, new caption 'Jack Burkman, the lobbyist who has put a sizable donation to solve the murder of Seth Rich, canvasses the neighborhood of the murder on January, 10, 2017 in Washington, DC.'
So which is it Rachel? Broken wrist hit and run or shot in the ass attempted murder?
Just to be clear on the reliability of Jack Burkman, keep in mind that he hates Trump, and is a Bush guy (low energy Jeb supporter).
But that didn't stop him from "fund raising" to drum up business for himself, "Jack Burkman admits it’s about getting business during a Trump administration." He promoted the idea that Russians killed Seth Rich based off his claims of being approached "by a guy who styles himself as a former U.S. intel officer" and then quizzing him. http://www.fox5dc.com/news/238926113-story http://archive.is/puf0B
Rick Gates: "Mueller’s team filed a motion to drop 22 tax and bank fraud charges against Gates. The filing was tied to Gates’ agreement last week to plead guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and lying to the FBI. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/02/27/mueller-moves-to-dismiss-charges-against-rick-gates-in-russia-probe.html "That plea pertained to charges filed against him in October in Washington, D.C., for which he still faces up to 71 months in prison.

Selig worked on behalf of Kazakhstan (haven't dug in to see who paid him) to dispel the image of "Borat-created Kazakhstan myths". "Borat is a 2006 British-American mockumentary comedy film. But to this day, 10 years later, Kazakhs are not laughing."
