So, basically Profiling Project (PP) could be right or they could be wrong: exactly 50-50. Nor does the report in any way definitively support any 'conspiracy' or 'hit' claims, just 'it could be'...

Some things presented as fact very often have to be taken with several grains of salt; in this case, the report itself provides the seasoning:

PP was given no special access to any materials, evidence or persons and due to case sensitivity, conducted only informal, limited interviews. The bulk of our report is based on statistics, prior research and Logos.

So, the report is based on an only slightly better than cursory access to less data and evidence than in the possession of the actual law enforcement investigators. Somehow, I'm inclined to put rather more credence in the LEOs...

...then there is the question of who is/are the Profiling Project; PP is funded by Jack Burkman, a GOP lobbyist and Internet radio talk-show host, and is Far-Right Conservative; how far Right is he?:

Besides being very conservative, Burkman seems to at very much at ease with duplicitous base-covering; from the Wikipedia article:

In June 2016, Burkman held an event called "Lobbyist for Trump" and invited all major lobbyists of Washington, D.C. to help raise money for Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

In July 2016, Burkman helped fundraising for Free the Delegates, an anti-Trump effort to change the delegate rules for the 2016 Republican National Convention.

[Italics mine]


Seemingly, Burkman has no real loyalties or feels the need to be consistent in his viewpoint; maybe being in a lobbyist, being one of the "swamp" gators, being essentially a 'hired gun' for the highest bidder, little more than a self-serving effort at the "truth" could be expected...

It should also be noted Burkman attempted to involve himself and his lobbying firm with the Rich family in the guise of "helping" them in the aftermath of Seth's murder, but his actions of the family's behalf became so troublesome and blatantly political, they distanced themselves from Burkman and his activities:

This is a link to a Newsweek article of 20 June 2017 updating the Rich case:

Of note is this quote from the article citing the Profiling Project on the subject of conspiracy and/or assassination theories regarding the Rich case:

As for the conspiracy theories, the Profiling Project says those are unfounded, given that Rich did not die immediately at the scene: “A professional killer, whose sole job would have been to terminate Seth, did not accomplish their mission prior to escaping.”

“If this were a professional hit person, they failed,” says Doherty, the team member. “Nothing we’ve seen supports [the theory of] an assassin.”

The truth is out there if one wishes to seek it out rather than be spoon-fed...


In this whole matter, my heart goes out to the parents of Seth Rich. In order to try to attain some level of space in which to properly grieve, the Washington Post published their plea to stop all the senseless speculations:

We’re Seth Rich’s parents. Stop politicizing our son’s murder. --

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...20a_story.html

From their plea:

We also know that many people are angry at our government and want to see justice done in some way, somehow. We are asking you to please consider our feelings and words. There are people who are using our beloved Seth’s memory and legacy for their own political goals, and they are using your outrage to perpetuate our nightmare. We ask those purveying falsehoods to give us peace, and to give law enforcement the time and space to do the investigation they need to solve our son’s murder.

Truer words ne'er spoken...
