I'll say it now: I think Peter W. Smith was likely Joseph Schmitz's "client," meaning that the Trump campaign did indeed get stolen materials from the Russians and try to spread them to federal agencies in an attempt to affect the presidential election. thehill.com/homenews/admin…

2/ The chances that two Trump agents (Smith and Schmitz) were independently discovering alleged Clinton emails at the exact same time without being in any way connected to one another's efforts—despite Mike Flynn being a highly probable link between them—seems to me to be *zero*.

3/ If Peter W. Smith was working with Joseph Schmitz, even Devin Nunes has said—though he had to be caught on tape, first—that it's "criminal."

Which would make the whole thing a criminal conspiracy.

4/ Mike Flynn was on Trump's national security team, as was Schmitz; who would believe that the same national security team was running two *entirely unconnected* "Dark Web" searches for "missing" Clinton emails? No one. No one is who would believe that. It makes no sense at all.

5/ Here's a question: who else did Schmitz peddle the "missing" emails to? (Note—they were fake.) Are we really to believe he only went to 2 federal agencies and 2 Congressional committees? Which Congressional committees, by the way? And why didn't they disclose what Schmitz did?

6/ Given that Schmitz was ex-COO of Blackwater, and Erik Prince ex-CEO of Blackwater, how do we know the fake emails Prince talked about on Breitbart Radio 4 days before the election aren't the same ones Schmitz was peddling—hoping to get the Clinton probe reopened in both cases?

7/ The government ultimately deemed ex-Blackwater COO Schmitz to be peddling fake emails. Were these the *same* fake emails ex-Blackwater CEO Prince was peddling days before the election? I think we need to know—and know who Schmitz went to in Summer 2016. breitbart.com/radio/2016/11/…

8/ Oh, hell—I just remembered.

Gordon, Page, and Schmitz weren't the only Trump national security advisers who went to Hungary for no apparent reason in 2016. So did...

...Erik Prince.

9/ Now, this unexplained-trips-to-Hungary thing (in each case with the trip being made by a Trump national security adviser) would only be significant if Budapest, Hungary's capital, were the European HQ of Putin's FSB...

...which it is.
