An internet entrepreneur admits he posted a fake FBI file online to promote conspiracy theories about a slain Democratic National Committee staffer — but he’s not going to delete it.

Kim Dotcom has played a central role in reviving claims that DNC staffer Seth Rich was murdered after revealing or threatening to disclose damaging information about Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign.

Dotcom told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he had evidence that Rich had sent documents to WikiLeaks, which conservatives then cited to dismiss claims about Russian election interference — but the Megaupload website founder now admits the document he helped spread online is a fake.

“After doing some forensic analysis of the document I came to believe it is not authentic. And I have retweeted Wikileaks which came to the same conclusion,” Dotcom told Gizmodo. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to delete it.

“There is no need to delete those tweets because I have been very cautious and warned within an hour of the release of that document that it could be a fake,” he said.

1. But he seemed like such a nice guy!

Talented too, and yet so humble!

2. RT (I know, I know) was beating the S*** R*** story into the ground again yesterday morning.

RT made the spaghetti western on channel 7.2, directed by someone named Sergio who was not Sergio Leone,* seem like a much better choice. So I chose it.

Due to the miracle of the internet, I can report that it was "The Mercenary." It's number four on the list. I guess I should have watched it from the beginning.

3. It's out and that's all they wanted.

I'm sure that Hannity and his kind will continue to reference this for years.

4. Yep.

6. Democratic Underground should go after this fat blob

for the recent script attack that happened here. It was about the SR bullshit probably initiated by someone that believed Kim Dotcom's fake document. It's almost to the point of being scary just how easy it is to fool an already gullible RWNJ.
