GOP Activist Peter Smith Met With Michael Flynn in 2015 - one email said “...Peter started a business relationship with Gen. Mike Flynn in November 2015. We spoke with him on the day he left for his trip to Moscow.” by @shelbyholliday @ByronTau @dnvolz wsj.com/articles/late-…
"Beyond his connection with Mr. Flynn, Mr. Smith also claimed ties with the antisecrecy website WikiLeaks, and he solicited money to assist founder Julian Assange with legal support"
wsj.com/articles/late-…
The names of three people who reportedly pledged to contribute $100,000 to Peter Smith's effort - "Maine real-estate developer Michael Liberty, Florida-based investor John “Jack” Purcell and Chicago financier Patrick Haynes"
Peter Smith story is going to get a lot more interesting - in April twitter sleuth @brazencapital connected Smith with Modizo - founded by Michael Liberty (alleged funder of Smith's HRC efforts) - SEC has accused Liberty of stealing $48 mil from investors
More on Modizo story -
In Aug '17 @nathanvardi reported Michael Liberty, founder of Mozido, was sentenced to four months in prison and a $100,000 fine for making illegal campaign contributions. He noted Peter Smith was on Mozido advisory board and involved with company for years

More from @brazencapital on Mozido expanding to Russia and China and partnering with Yandex and the Bank of China
Other Mozido investors included hedge fund pioneer Julian H. Robertson, United Arab Emirates President Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan

On @maddow tonight @shelbyholliday described how Bannon & Conway still deny knowing Peter Smith - but Smith's emails were part of Illinois hack in 2016 & included emails about his discussions w/Breitbart's Matthew Boyle, so his circle overlapped w/Bannon
And this 1999 NYT article describes how Kellyanne's husband George Conway and Peter Smith had mutual associates - all actively engaged in efforts against Bill Clinton
nytimes.com/1999/01/24/us/…
...and another person actively working against Bill Clinton during the same period as George Conway and Peter Smith... Brett Kavanaugh

Both Paul Manafort & Rick Gates gave data to Konstantin Kilimnik in the spring 2016 - some data was developed by a private polling firm working for the campaign - Manafort asked Gates to tell Kilimnik to pass the data to Oleg Deripaska, HT @painter_nancy nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/…
Manafort and Gates passed polling data to Kilimnik to be sent to Putin ally Oleg Deripaska

Kilimnik also worked with Sam Patten who consulted for Cambridge Analytica

One of the services provided by Cambridge Analytica was polling
While the identity of the polling company is not known, here's how Cambridge Analytica described their work for the Trump campaign:

"The research team had a huge responsibility in organizing campaigns and polling voters in 17 states across the country."

Manafort may have shared US campaign polling data w/Kilimnik

Manafort filing is not properly redacted & one section mentions:

"the Government’s allegation that Mr. Manafort lied about sharing polling data with Mr. Kilimnik related to the 2016 presidential campaign."
Kilimnik not only worked with Manafort, he also formed a company in 2015 with Sam Patten, who was a contractor for Cambridge Analytica

There's no evidence Kilimnik worked with Cambridge Analytica, but why would Kilimnik review US election polling data?...
Another redacted section of the filing notes "Manafort “conceded” that he discussed or may have discussed a Ukraine peace plan with Mr. Kilimnik on more than one occasion"

⚡️Mueller is unraveling a MAJOR & dark thread in Russia investigation. (Dead) GOP operative Peter Smith apparently wired money to hackers as "Russian students" at same time Clinton emails were released by Wikileaks. Elaborate secrecy & planned projects suggest foul play. THREAD👇
So GOP operative PETER SMITH had an elaborate & well-funded scheme to get Clinton emails. In email w/ apparent hacker, they discuss wiring $150k to "Russian students" & being pleased w/ released Clinton emails just days after Wikileaks releases in Oct. wsj.com/articles/gop-o…
This is the first reporting I've seen casting some doubt on GOP operative Peter SMITH's suicide. Hours before his death, he spoke w/ a financier about another anti-Clinton project. He was excited & brainstorming about how to proceed. Financier was stunned when he heard of suicide
