GOP Operative Killed Himself Days After Disclosing He Solicited Clinton Emails From Russian Hackers
Two weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal reported the early threads of a story that looked to be a potential blockbuster in the making: a longtime GOP operative and private equity executive out of Chicago, in September 2016, two months before Election Day, had been shopping around in the dark corners of the web for thousands of deleted emails belonging to Hillary Clinton.
During the search, in emails and on the phone, the 81-year-old operative, Peter W. Smith, presented himself as working with top Trump adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as he solicited Clinton emails from hackers he assumed to be affiliated with the Russian government. The Journal knew all of this because Smith, himself, said so in an interview with the paper the first week of May.
