H.A. Goodman is a YouTube pundit, former HuffPost writer, and current Daily Caller writer who promotes pro-Trump talking points and anti-Democrat conspiracy theories. Goodman formerly considered himself a "progressive", and likes to use his past endorsement of Bernie Sanders as proof that he #walkedaway.

Seth Rich or Die Tryin'[edit]

When he's not predicting Hillary Clinton's upcoming arrest, H.A. Goodman peddles baseless conspiracy theories about the murder of Seth Rich.

So... Seth Rich getting shot in the back with NOTHING taken from him is a "failed robbery" NOT whistleblower killed but Russia hacked DNC???[1]

Yes, H.A., a failed robbery is one where nothing is taken. Additionally, Seth Rich's watch strap was damaged,[2] showing that someone likely attempted to take it from him.

Yes #imwithher crowd, Seth Rich, Shawn Lucas, Beranton J Whisenant weren't murders, just young men linked to DNC who happened to die. #DNC[3]

Literally no one's saying Seth Rich wasn't murdered or that he "just happened to die". Being murdered doesn't equal being murdered by the DNC. Also, Shawn Lucas's death isn't even unsolved, he overdosed on a combination of fentanyl (an opioid pain medication), cyclobenzaprine (a muscle relaxant), and mitragynine (also known as kratom).[4][5]

Seth Rich loved Bernie. This is a fact. Bernie should explain why the FBI is involved in the botched robbery of a DNC staffer who was a die hard Bernie voter. Kim Dotcom is on record as saying Seth Rich was the WikiLeaks source. Bernie had the moral obligation to make a statement[6]

Contrary to what Rod Wheeler claimed, the FBI is not investigating Seth Rich's death.[7][8] Kim DotcomWikipedia never provided any evidence for his claims,[9] and he proved himself an unreliable source by creating a fake FBI document relating to Seth Rich's death.[10]

Additionally, the idea that Seth Rich was a Bernie supporter is based solely on a Reddit account called "pandas4bernie"[note 1] that became inactive around the time he died.[11] However, the people behind "pandas4bernie" denied having any connections to Seth Rich.[11] Also of note is that before his death, Seth Rich was planning to move to Brooklyn to work for the Clinton campaign.[11][12][13]

Hillary Clinton sex tape[edit]

BREAKING: Hillary Clinton SEX TAPE out there with John Podesta!! @washingtonpost hiding the tape and the story. Don't say you heard it from me... but a source familiar with Podesta/HRC love told sources familiar with the gardner of Jake Tapper's urologist. If true, big news #Hot[14]

Okay then.

Pizzagate[edit]

What are the chances the whole Pizza Gate story is Clinton counter propaganda aimed at making genuine crimes Hillary committed conspiracy?[15]

What I'm saying is that this could actually be a kind of Clinton counter-propaganda campaign in a way because the whole thing with Hillary Clinton and the Washington Post even, the headline today regarding Reddit... I'll read that. And I'll read you Donald Trump's quotes. But the whole thing is "Well, you know, every critique of Hillary is just linked to a conspiracy theory."

So you have the whole Pizzagate issue, and there's all this... really these leaps of logic, yeah there's correlation, but it's not... Podesta doesn't say—or Hillary or any of them, none of them say "We are going and doing this to children." Whether they use the phrases that, you know, child molesters use or whatever, that—that could be the case. But then again, there are people who eat pizza and hot dogs.

So it's very difficult to then say "Okay, they—they wrote the word 'pizza' or they said they're gonna, you—you know, eat a hot dog or whatever, and then there's the spirit cooking dinner and this is then directly linked to everything all the allegations made. And then the pizza restaurant in DC is the hub for all this evil, sinister... You can't—that's not logical to actually make that leap of logic. It's not... not only is it not rational, it is playing into the whole propaganda that any critique of Hillary is conspiratorial or "Oh yeah, you know what, the email thing, that was just like Pizzagate, or the Clinton Foundation thing, that's just like Pizzagate."

So this could be actually this counter-propaganda thing where it kind of caught on among people who really dislike Hillary Clinton, and I have very little respect for Clinton and her whole entire campaign, I stated that she would lose long ago, I predicted long ago that if it was not Bernie Sanders, Clinton would lose miserably and she did, but the issue is there are legitimate scandals, the email fiasco is a legitimate scandal, we know because the FBI has investigated. We know because the Clinton campaign and the Clinton Foundation from WikiLeaks 1-36, and the DNC leaks proved massive corruption, we know direct correlations between Donna Brazile leaving CNN and Hillary, uh—Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and four other Democratic officials leaving... these are direct correlations to the corruption. We know that the FBI's stated that she was xtremely careless and negligent, Hillary Clinton was.

We know there were 22 top-secret emails. We know it wasn't for convenience, that's a blatant lie considering all the other evidence. Those—this is a—all of those things are not conspiracy theories.

I'm not saying that the whole Pizzagate thing is just a conspiracy theory, that you shouldn't look into it or that people shouldn't look into it or that it shouldn't be a law enforcement inquiry. What I'm saying is to take it to the level where you're accusing people and saying "Yeah, the owner of this shop did all this stuff," it is playing into the Clinton campaign's or the Hillary supporters' propaganda. That any relevant critique is now part of this conspiracy to hurt Clinton, a witch hunt, all they do is rely on euphemisms.[16]

Like his friend Styxhexenhammer666, H.A. Goodman thinks Pizzagate is a propaganda campaign created to delegitimize Clinton's critics. However, he's willing to entertain the possibility of it being true, presumably so he doesn't lose subscribers to Mike Cernovich.

QAnon[edit]

The Q anon thing is dangerous. Anyone telling you #JulianAssange is in the U.S. is spreading fantasy. It's another pizza gate frenzy for liberals to use as a rebuttal when given actual evidence of Clinton's numerous crimes. Just use the public record. Then draw YOUR OWN VIEWS.[17]

H.A. Goodman doesn't believe the QAnon conspiracy theory,[18] probably because WikiLeaks called QAnon a LARP.[19]

Notes[edit]

  1. Seth Rich once came to work dressed in a panda suit, so the conspiracy theorists suggest he therefore must be "pandas4bernie".
