A GOP donor and opposition researcher who said he tried to work with Russian hackers to retrieve deleted emails from a private server used by Hillary Clinton, has died in a suicide, according to public records cited in a Chicago Tribune report.

Peter Smith killed himself days after an interview with The Wall Street Journal in which he said he sought out Russian hackers to try to retrieve some 33,000 deleted Clinton emails and pass them to Michael Flynn, then a campaign adviser to Donald Trump.

Death records from Minnesota show that Smith, 81, died in a hotel of "asphyxiation due to displacement of oxygen in confined space with helium" on May 14. Smith was found with a note that said there was "NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER" regarding his death.

And so starts the body count around this scandal.

Nothing to see here, opposition researchers always die by suicide, totally not mysteriously, and I do hope no kind of crazy GOPer believes that kind of conspiracy, because that would be so unlike them. At least, I am reasonably sure that Hillary was nowhere near this guy when he died. much less a Russian stooge protecting this source.

right?

right?

but lol, this is totally hilarious:

Smith was found with a note that said there was "NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER" regarding his death.

OK.

Yup. Clearly the Clinton's had him killed.

duh.

I knew that he died shortly after he gave the interview, but this is the first I heard of it being suicide. I foresee new conspiracy theories in the near future.

Nothing to see here. Much like Sandy Hook this is fake news. That Bitch Hitlery is behind this fake news to shield her from her child molesting, Satan worshiping, devils Pizza dungeon.

Getting involved in Republican Putin shenanigans is dangerous to your health.

The Clintons may possibly be behind this, but I have sourced a fact checked verified rumor thrice handed down from reliable yet completely unknown sources that one minute after Smith's death was confirmed, a huge amount of bitcoin from Michelle Obama's unverifiable account was transferred to an unspecified location somewhere in the nation of Texas.

HRC kills another.

HRC kills another.

This is where us libruls just can't compete. Otherwise this would be another Vince Foster conspiracy in the making.

 

[chucky2]

Man the body count sure does get high when the Clintons come into the picture...

Open and shut case. Very considerate of him.

Seriously guys? He was in ill health, probably didn't have much time left. Doesn't seem likely he was killed by either the Trumps or the Clintons. Was probably an actual suicide.

What's important is what he told the WSJ, which in my view is about as big a bombshell as Jr's meeting with the lawyer. He says he met with Russian hackers and attempted to coordinate with them in hacking Clinton's e-mails, and that he did so on behalf of Michael Flynn.

But it wasn't verified, right? Or was it? A trump campaign official said, "if Mr. Flynn coordinated with him in any way, it would have been in his capacity as a private individual," while Flynn's response was "no comment."

Inert gas asphyxiation is a really good pick for suicide method if you're just trying to go out painlessly, and probably considerably harder to fake.

Yeah kind of hard to sit someone in a closet against their will for as long as it would take with no signs of a struggle or him being restrained.

I'd love to see the reaction from Faux News if the party affiliation was reversed... Hannity would be all over the story and Fox and Friends would be interviewing moonbats to detail exactly how that was done.

Does your soul float up to heaven? Does St. Peter crack up when he hears your voice?

 

[shortylickens]

They will blame the democrats for this.
Just watch.

He was practicing what he preached. Too old to work + not rich = kill yourself. Guy had convictions, I can respect that.
