WASHINGTON—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

but FR says no thanks to ZH posts.
Let me guess: anonymous sources have revealed....
So wizzj is now saying that Hiterly’’s negligence with her State Department server in a toilet was hacked by Russians?
Did he whisper it on his deathbed?
Where’s Bob Woodward when you need him?
How convenient that the only source for the supposed Flynn connection died last month, huh?
Vince Foster told me that both Hillary and Bill are Russian spies.
I got that beat.
Many years ago my brother told me that while he was drinking with ol’ man Rodham’s law partner in Chicago, that when ol’ man Rodham found out Hillary was a lesbian, it broke his heart.
I would say que the “Ah not this sh!t again” graphic but the story goes on to say there’s no proof Hillary’s deleted emails were official business. Why are we aloud to post wsj with crap like this if we can’t zero hedge? (Directed to the post of forgot name.)
Good read. I’d add the notion there’s no proof of Hillary’s deleted emails were official business makes the wsj article pure bs hit peice journalism and vote trading wsj for zero hedge.
I’m sure that was just one of her covers as an agent.
Any connection this dude might have had with Flynn (probably none) tends to distance him from the mystical Russian hackers who "got the goods."
The fakest of fake news.
You forgot “He died.”
I thooght that was an obvious part of the Russian-connection coverup. Team Trump had to knock off the bag man!
Good. That’s precisely what Flynn SHOULD be doing.

Forgive me. I should have posted this in Humor.....
ZH analysis:
“Of course, the goal of the story is to paint some sinister plot that involved Smith and Michael Flynn enlisting the help of some Russians to hack the 2016 election...thus ‘proving’ the collusion angle.
Unfortunately, the story seems to prove the exact opposite which is, if Flynn was really running around on some wild goose chase looking for Hillary’s missing 30,000 emails by chatting up hackers on a message board then we have to assume that means he wasn’t in any way connected to the original hack which ended up on WikiLeaks.”
Collusion FAIL!!!
