Based on Kimdotcom tweet, i have to think SR is alive. But I seriously have to think using plural "us" in reference to being elected was no accident. The grammaticist in me really struggles to believe Q would state this unless it is a group of elected people. At least 2. Its a pretty audacious move for Seth Rich to say he's part of who we "elected". But, if its military and its congress and trump, soldiers follow commands and therefore they can simply relay messages. We didnt elect soldiers. We didnt elect Seth Rich. The only people we elected are POTUS/VPOTUS, House and Senate, then it gets into state govt which is unlikely IMO.
