The dark stuff:
Peter Smith was contacted by Michael Flynn to look for Clinton emails, allegedly at Trump's request.
Where's Smith now?
Smith died on May 14, 2017 in a hotel room in Rochester, Minnesota. He had checked into the hotel, which is near the Mayo Clinic, the day after speaking to the Wall Street Journal. Nine days later he was found with a bag over his head that was attached to a helium source. Medical records list Smith's cause of death as "asphyxiation due to displacement of oxygen in confined space with helium." Police discovered a suicide note by Smith that stated no foul play was involved in his committing suicide, and that he was in poor health and his life insurance policy was expiring. However, it has been reported that that insurance policy was good for 8 more years.
A backup of Smith's computer contained two files that had been downloaded from WikiLeaks and that were originally attached to emails received by John Podesta. The files on Smith's computer had creation dates of October 2, 2016, which was prior to the date of their release by WikiLeaks
Smith was on the dark web talking to Russian hackers. Erik Prince (Blackwater, Academi, Nancy DeVos' brother, Mercer family ties) was funding his activities.
(see pg 64 of the report)
and
"Beginning in the summer of 2016, Assange and WikiLeaks made a number of statements about Seth Rich, a former DNC staff member who was killed in July 2016. The statements about Rich implied falsely that he had been the source of the stolen DNC emails."
(page 48)
So, "His name was Seth Rich" is out, "His name was Peter Smith" is in.
I think Trump is nothing more than a useful idiot. Erik Prince probably deserves to be tortured to death.
