WSJ reporter: No one will tell me how GOP source who tried to get Hillarys emails from Russia diedShane Harris, the Wall Street Journal reporter who broke the bombshell story about Republican operative Peter Smith trying to obtain Hillary Clintons deleted emails from Russian hackers, made a startling revelation on Morning Joe Friday morning.
During the interview, Harris explained that Smith reached out to him to tell him his story shortly before he passed away on May 14 at the age of 81. MSNBCs Elise Jordan then noted that Harris never mentioned Smiths cause of death in his story about his role in trying to retrieve Clintons deleted State Department emails from Russian state hackers.
How did Mr. Smith die? she asked him.
Its a great question, and I should say we do not know how he died, he said. We made multiple attempts, both with family members and with associates of his, as well as government officials in the town where he lived, to try and determine his cause of death, and we were unsuccessful.
Harris did note that Smith was 81 years old, and he had seen no evidence of any kind of foul play involved in his death.

The Journal piece raises far more questions than it answers. Here are a few of them.

The average American male who is 80 years old lives to be 88 and a half years old.
Yeah Smith was 81, but he wasn't in hospice. Going from being interviewed at 81 to dead two weeks later beats the odds, and not in a good way.

(3,490 posts)8. As a card-carrying member of the
Trump Crime Family, it makes sense that Smith was murdered by Hannity. Where are are the liberal mouthpieces to inform the public of this atrocity?
This further makes it very suspicious why Hannity was recently observed leaving a pizza restaurant with no take out in hand.
Starting conspiracy theories is really fun!!
