Julian Assange's mother recently spawned some controversy with a series of powerful tweets that many interpreted as strongly indicating that Seth Rich was indeed the infamous "leaker" of the DNC emails.
After her tweets began making their considerable rounds, she was compelled to walk back her statement, claiming that she was not meaning to directly implicate Rich.
Christine Assange later deleted her controversial tweet, writing that people had wrongfully asserted "Julians mother confirms its #SethRich."
She then cited former UK Ambassador Craig Murray and the group Veteran Intelligence Professionals For Sanity, who all say the Russians did not hack the DNC.
