> - two sicarios who worked for Clinton's campaign were found dead in NC the day after his death

I tried googling this with no success. Can you cite a source for this claim?

Here's a report confirming their identification:

I said NC but it was Myrtle Beach, SC, sorry. Names: Rafael Aguilar, 31, and Carmelo Marmolejo-Calixto.

Conclusive? No. But should have been seriously dug into instead of the giant deafening silence we had.

And one other thing I forgot to mention: Seymour Hersh, one of the finest old-school investigative journos in the world, dug in to this and confirmed all sorts of weird things: the FBI got access to Rich's PC, Rich contacted Wikileaks, Rich had DNC emails on his computer and so on.
