SCOOP: Deceased GOP operative Peter Smith secretly raised $100k from 4 donors in Oct. 2016 as part of a project to obtain Hillary Clinton’s emails, an effort that documents and sources say is being actively probed by Mueller

Smith, who said he was working on behalf of Michael Flynn, was warned he was likely getting mixed up with Russian hackers in his pursuit of emails, but he continued to pursue them just weeks before the election. wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
Smith used a dummy Gmail account with the alias “Robert Tyler” to communicate w/ associates, but others had access to the account. An Oct. 11 email simply signed ROB referred to the money as for “the Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian students” wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
Smith died 10 days after speaking to the Journal last year, a death police ruled a suicide when he was found in a Minnesota hotel room with a hand-written note that read: "NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER." Some who spoke to Smith in his final days remain shocked.
