One good thing the report did
I just called @newtgingrich and asked if he had a comment about spreading the Seth Rich conspiracy theory, given what the Mueller report said and the request from Aaron Rich for people to"take responsibility."

"Nope," Gingrich told me. "No comment." He then hung up the phone.
The most charitable view of @WikiLeaks' Seth Rich hoax is that Assange genuinely thought it possible that Rich was his source for the DNC leaks. Mueller's timeline proves that false. Assange knew Rich couldn't have been the leaker. He was already dead. https://t.co/rHDFAoWULw

Mueller report describes how Assange / WikiLeaks fueled Seth Rich conspiracy theory in an apparent effort "to obscure the source of the materials" they were posting. pic.twitter.com/uP751Hr0i3

Two years ago this week, Fox published its Seth Rich story. After it fell apart, Fox said it would investigate what happened. It's unclear what ever became of that probe. The results were never announced. Neither was any disciplinary action for those responsible.
