Peter W. Smith, how did he come to die so suddenly after talking to the Wall Street Journal?

Of course, you know if it was a Dem operative rather than a GOP operative, Hannity would be accusing someone of murder. More dots.

"...But in one recruitment document obtained by the Journal, Smith claimed links to Flynn, along with then-Trump campaign staff Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, and Sam Clovis..."

Suicide via helium and a bag. He had made comments earlier in the day indicating his intent I believe.

While it looks suspicious, im not sure it actually is.

Gosh it has Hillary's fingerprints all over it doesn't it?

Maybe Trump and Putin rented her hit squad out for this one?

My fil is 81 and in incredible shape. If he passed away suddenly, it would be a huge shock.

Well, he was 81 years old. Heart attacks can happen to anyone in any physical condition. I had a heart attack at 42, it came out of nowhere and I was in great shape, not overweight, got exercise, etc. This actor just died of a heart attack at 39 !

So there is nothing shocking about an 81 year old dying suddenly.

I read somewhere that he was in poor health and that his life insurance policy was about to expire.....so it's entirely conceivable he decided to end his own life.

Imagine the premiums on a $5M policy on an 81 year old guy?

He probably also saw that , under the GOP healthcare bill, his premiums for that were going to skyrocket. For an 81 year old, he would be paying a YUGE amount every month.

What? There's a crime she is not being accused of by the Republicans?
