"Furthermore, Harris describes, apparently for the first time, US intelligence reports claiming Russian hackers discussed how to get hacked emails to Flynn through a third party.

Investigators have examined reports from intelligence agencies that describe Russian hackers discussing how to obtain emails from Mrs. Clinton's server and then transmit them to Mr. Flynn via an intermediary, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the intelligence."

1. For god sake people! The emails in question were those determined to be personal in nature

and therefore not in the ones to be turned over to the Gov't. They were deleted from her server, thus GONE!!! I suspect when her attorneys deleted them, they made sure they were gone and unrecoverable. I HOPE the Conman goes down for coluding with Russia for this reason! It won't give Hillary the Presidency, but what sweet vengeance!

2. Would be fitting if their "witch hunt" of Hillary Clinton leads to proof of Russian collusion

In summary, this article says:

"There's been a whole lot of evidence that several Trump associates (including Flynn) had ties to Russian officials, and of course it was clear that Trump's public policies were far more pro-Russia than the Republican norm.

But there really hasn't been very much evidence tying anyone in Trumpworld to any hacking— making it plausible that the hacking operations were carried out without any coordination or contacts with anyone in Trump's camp.

Harris's story (Wall St Journal) changes that somewhat. Now we know of Smith's outreach to Russian hackers — and, more importantly, his claims that Flynn (who was close to Trump) may have known too. And there's that other claim that US intelligence suggests Russian hackers were discussing giving hacked emails to Flynn. Where would they get that idea?

So Trump has already been trying to shield Flynn from investigators — making the question of just what Flynn might know ever more interesting, and one that will certainly be on special counsel Robert Mueller's mind."
