In light of Richard Jewell, how soon to spin up a Seth Rich movie

Could it be ready to go by September assuming the family agrees to it of course? Drop for a nominal price to all the streaming platforms.

This is how the GOP plays the game. In our case it would be a factual movie showing the documented indiscretions and coordinated propaganda attack that harmed the Seth family. I got to think they feel a little like Richard Jewell.

Hopefully the murder will be solved one day. Maybe the movie might enhance the chance of that happening.

Of course I guess it could also backfire. Whatever happens it needs to be truthful in all the particulars unlike the Jewell movie.

Like "Richard Jewell," or "13 Hours," a gratuitous sex scene or made-up scenario will be added for no reason except to slam all of one group or a particular political figure.

And the facts get thrown out the window.

Eastwood could not help himself and did an own goal. The scene in Jewell adds nothing to the story.
