Yes, it is behind a paywall.

quote:

Before the 2016 presidential election, a longtime Republican opposition researcher mounted an independent campaign to obtain emails he believed were stolen from Hillary Clinton’s private server, likely by Russian hackers.

In conversations with members of his circle and with others he tried to recruit to help him, the GOP operative, Peter W. Smith, implied he was working with retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, at the time a senior adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump.

“He said, ‘I’m talking to Michael Flynn about this—if you find anything, can you let me know?’” said Eric York, a computer-security expert from Atlanta who searched hacker forums on Mr. Smith’s behalf for people who might have access to the emails.

Emails written by Mr. Smith and one of his associates show that his small group considered Mr. Flynn and his consulting company, Flynn Intel Group, to be allies in their quest.


oh and....

Mr. Smith died on May 14, which was about 10 days after the Journal interviewed him.

I wonder if hannity will give him the seth rich treatment.

We'll see. The problem for the trump admin is this is a whole new avenue Mueller will investigate.

It's not going to end with evidence of Trump being on the phone with Vlad Putin. It will end with one of Trump's surrogates cooperating with a Putin surrogate in some form or fashion.

You're too stupid to realize that IF this article is true, then this means Flynn wasn't working with any Russians.

Think, retard. If he's hiring 3rd party American hackers to track down the Russian hackers who got Hillary's emails, then he couldn't have been working with the goddamn Russians.

LOLOL, you poor idiot.

Read the article.


"What role, if any, Mr. Flynn may have played in Mr. Smith’s project is unclear. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Smith said he knew Mr. Flynn, but he never stated that Mr. Flynn was involved."



Mr. Smith said he worked independently and wasn’t part of the Trump campaign.

And yet again, not a crime.

If Putin buys my 2nd car from me that's not illegal. If Putin arranges a date with his 2nd cousin twice removed and me, not illegal.
