🔥@GOP operative Peter Smith raised >$100,000 to pay #Russian🇷🇺hackers to find Clinton’s emails. 10 days after telling his story to the @WSJ, he committed suicide, yet a friend spoke w/him about a new project hours before his death & says he was “excited.”

Smith continued his quest for HRC’s emails *after* the US warned of #Russian🇷🇺interference & went to extraordinary lengths to ensure secrecy, communicating via saved DRAFT (unsent) emails in a shared Gmail account.🤨

🔥One sent email said the >$100k in donations were to be sent to a DC-based scholarship fund for **Russian students**👉🏼“This $100k total with the $50k received from you (Smith) will allow us to fund the Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian students for the promised $150K.”

👇🏼This email was sent just days after WikiLeaks released its 1st batch of emails damaging to Clinton, and added: “The students are very pleased with the email releases they have seen, and are thrilled with their educational advancement opportunities.”🙄

JUST DAYS after WikiLeaks released the emails that #Russia🇷🇺stole from @TheDemocrats and the US government warned that #Russia was interfering in the election, Smith PAID OFF “Russian students” who were “very pleased with the email releases.”🔥

No wonder Smith’s secret work (to buy Democratic emails STOLEN by #Russia🇷🇺) remains an intense and “expanding” interest of Robert Mueller’s investigation.😎
