FBI & Senate Intelligence Committee are trying to follow the money to learn whether Smith paid anyone connected with the Russian government. The FBI suspects Smith used some of the cash to fund his operation & paid hackers who provided him emails

Mueller’s team has also tried to determine if Michael Flynn assisted Smith in his operation and Smith’s suspicious financial transactions are key to that effort.

Reminder - in his search for Clinton's emails, Peter Smith was helped by alt-right troll Chuck Johnson - who set up an April 2017 meeting between Dana Rohrabacher and Julian Assange
