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

Reported under 'Public Safety' WAPO, Rachel Weiner, March 14 http://archive.is/f3k6A

Conservative lobbyist says he was attacked for the second time in recent months

(pic caption) 'Jack Burkman, a lobbyist who has put a sizable donation to solve the murder of Seth Rich, says he has been repeatedly attacked.'

Burkman reported (the first) attack to police on January 16, saying that as he was approaching his home someone got out of a dark SUV and sprayed him with a “caustic substance.”

Burkman said he was picking up documents from a source at the Key Bridge Marriott in Arlington, Va. Tuesday evening when

he was “struck with some form of a projectile” and then run down by “a large black SUV.” The attack left him with a broken wrist and other injuries, he said.

Arlington police confirmed Wednesday that they were called to the scene at about 6:45 p.m. Tuesday and are investigating the incident as a hit-and-run collision. Burkman was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police spokeswoman Ashley Savage said.

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.'

“It’s a horror story,” Burkman, of Arlington, said in an interview Monday afternoon.

He is still recovering after "being shot several times" and run over by an SUV last Tuesday.

The last drop was supposed to be “the big one” — the full inspector general report on McCabe, which still has not been released. Instead,

when Burkman bent over to pull the papers out from under the cone, he was shot in the buttocks and thigh. As he ran out of the garage with his dachshund in his arms, he was hit by an SUV.

He said the car backed up to hit him again.

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).

"When it comes to Burkman’s support of Trump, skepticism seems warranted. Burkman, after all, supported Jeb "You'll never get elected" Bush, early in the Republican primary — a candidate whose humiliation at the hands of Trump was so severe that Bush refuses to back him. Burkman even took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Daily News calling Trump a joke." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-lobbyist_us_573a36cee4b060aa781b04c8 http://archive.is/yl1Zy

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.

Strange twists in story:  Burkman had hired Glenn Selig

Selig lived in Tampa, Florida, where he had had a 20-year career in television news, but was a frequent presence in Washington when representing his clients. Among those employing him was Rick Gates, the former deputy manager of Donald Trump‘s presidential campaign who has been indicted on 12 felony counts in the federal probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Another was Jack Burkman, a lawyer and lobbyist who has promoted conspiracy theories about the 2016 death of Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich. Selig was on hand last month when Burkman hosted a small fundraiser for Gates’s legal defense fund, an event that earned Gates a federal judge’s rebuke for violating a gag order in his case.

Selig was killed in January

Glenn Selig, a television reporter-turned-publicist with several high-profile clients in Washington, was among 22 people killed last weekend when the Taliban besieged a hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan. Selig’s company, the Publicity Agency, first confirmed his death with NBC News on Wednesday. He was 49.  http://archive.is/8YZrJ

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."
