[ChicagoTribune]. Peter W. Smith, GOP operative who sought Clinton's emails from Russian hackers, committed suicide, records show

In late June 2017, the Wall Street Journal published a story about a longtime Republican political operative from the Chicago area. His name was Peter Smith and the story focused on Smith’s possible connections to the Trump campaign and Russian hackers. Here’s how it unfolded. (Jonathon Berlin / Tribune)

A Republican donor and operative from Chicago's North Shore who said he had tried to obtain Hillary Clinton's missing emails from Russian hackers killed himself in a Minnesota hotel room days after talking to The Wall Street Journal about his efforts, public records show.

#6  Like to get a look at that life insurance policy. Sometimes you can get a term plan for, say, twenty years. If he got one at age 61, it would "expire" at 81. Some of them have a provision for continuing it at extremely high rates which it is expected nobody will pay. But if your health is really, really bad, somebody can usually scrape up a quarterly premium.

#5  Were Smith's hands taped or tied behind his back? Chicago has a way of making things disappear.
