There are many threads in this story and the Podesta hack and the search for missing Clinton emails are separate but issues. In any case It will be hard to prove cooperation between the Kremlin and Trump campaign because the Russians use cut-outs, semi-independent operators that give a layer of deniability. It's not always FSB/GRU that run these operations in Europe. Smith's LLC could easily have served the a similar function of non-accountability for the Trump campaign, though we obviously don't know that.

assuming this article is true in the worst interpretation of the facts, at most there may be an FEC violation during the campaign by Flynn, KAC, and Bannon. this is just not close to the "muh Russians" narrative the left and their coordinated media cohorts have promoted

Yeah, so far. But that may be like a guy falling from a 100-story building saying he's alright when he reaches floor 50.

After that journal article the press and Mueller each have more threads to pull at and more evidence to bring to bear against Flynn to tell his full story.

And remember, this is just the public info. The story refers to American intelligence confirming the story of Russians discussing getting emails to Flynn. We don't know what they said. The FBI does. Also, don't be surprised if Smith wasn't the only oppo guy on this. Roger Stone was in contact with hackers and there are probably others.
