Smith implied that he was a well-connected Republican political operative.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Initially, I assumed the query must have been about my work on the DNC hack; after all, few people followed my account prior to the DNC breach, whereas my analysis of the break-in at the DNC had received considerably more coverage. I assumed his query about the \u201cClinton emails\u201d was therefore a mistake and that he meant instead to talk to me about the emails stolen from the DNC. So I agreed to talk to him, thinking that, whatever my views on then-candidate Trump, if a national campaign wanted an independent non-partisan view on the facts surrounding the case, I should provide it to the best of my ability.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Yet Smith had not contacted me about the DNC hack, but rather about his conviction that Clinton\u2019s private email server had been hacked\u2014in his view almost certainly both by the Russian government and likely by multiple other hackers too\u2014and his desire to ensure that the fruits of those hacks were exposed prior to the election. Over the course of a long phone call, he mentioned that he had been contacted by someone on the \u201cDark Web\u201d who claimed to have a copy of emails from Secretary Clinton\u2019s private server, and this was why he had contacted me; he wanted me to help validate whether or not the emails were genuine.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Peter Smith died in May 2017 in an apparent suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it was an interesting story, but the released transcripts tell a different story.<\/p>\n<p>The following tweet appears in the article:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MattTait.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-38887\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MattTait.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"596\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MattTait.png 596w, https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MattTait-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/MattTait-359x300.png 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/a>Please follow the link to the article.
