The\u00a0FBI\u00a0is asking a U.S. court to reverse its order that it produce information from\u00a0Seth Rich\u2019s laptop computer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the court does not, the bureau wants 66 years to produce the information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rich was a Democratic National Committee staffer when he was killed on a street in Washington in mid-2016. No person has ever been arrested in connection to the murder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant, an Obama appointee,\u00a0ruled in September that the bureau must hand over information from the computer to Brian Huddleston, a Texas man who filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the info.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FBI\u2019s assertion that the privacy interest Rich\u2019s family members hold outweighed the public interest was rejected by Mazzant, who noted the bureau cited no relevant case law supporting the argument.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the ruling was erroneous, U.S. lawyers said in\u00a0a new filing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bureau shouldn\u2019t have to produce the information because of FOIA exemptions for information that are compiled for law enforcement purposes and \u201ccould reasonably be expected to disclose the identity of a confidential source,\u201d the lawyers said in a motion for reconsideration. Another exemption, which enables agencies to withhold information that would disclose law enforcement techniques, also applies, they said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the Court\u2019s findings that except for the information related to Seth Rich\u2019s laptop withheld pursuant to Exemptions 6 and 7(C) based on privacy interests, the FBI properly withheld or redacted all other information responsive to Huddleston\u2019s requests, the production order seems inconsistent with the rest of the order,\u201d the motion stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The FBI, after claiming it never possessed Rich\u2019s laptop or any information from it,\u00a0acknowledged in 2020\u00a0that it had thousands of files from the computer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bureau \u201cis currently working on getting the files from Seth Rich\u2019s personal laptop into a format to be reviewed,\u201d the government said at the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Epoch<\/a><\/strong>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Information and material extracted from the computer were provided by a source to an FBI agent during a meeting on March 15, 2018, FBI records officer Michael Seidel said in\u00a0a declaration. He said the files included photographs and documents, among other materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the new filing, government lawyers said the FBI never extracted the data, which it revealed as originating with a law enforcement agency. They said the information is on a compact disc containing images of the laptop.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe FBI did not open an investigation into the murder of Seth Rich, nor did it provide investigative or technical assistance to any investigation into the murder of Seth Rich. As a result, the FBI has never extracted the data from the compact disc and never processed the information contained on the disc,\u201d they said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

To produce the information, the FBI would have to convert information on the disc into pages and then review the pages to redact information per FOIA, according to the government.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Mazzant upholds his order, the FBI wants a lengthy period of time to perform the work\u201466 years, or 500 pages a month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf the court overrules the FBI\u2019s motion, the FBI wants to produce records at a rate of 500 pages per month. At that rate, it will take almost 67 years just to produce the documents, never mind the images and other files,\u201d Ty Clevenger, a lawyer representing Huddleston, told The Epoch Times in an email.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter dealing with the FBI for five years, I now assume that the FBI is lying to me unless and until it proves otherwise. The FBI is desperately trying to hide records about Seth Rich, and that begs the question of why.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has suggested Rich leaked Democratic National Committee (DNC) files to WikiLeaks, but special counsel Robert Mueller said the real source was Russian hackers. Still, Mueller\u2019s finding\u00a0conflicts\u00a0with statements from CrowdStrike, the firm hired to investigate how the DNC files were released.<\/strong><\/p>\n
