Peter W. Smith, GOP operative who sought Clinton's emails from Russian hackers, committed suicide...

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.

In a room at a Rochester hotel used almost exclusively by Mayo Clinic patients and relatives, Peter W. Smith, 81, left a carefully prepared file of documents, which includes a statement police called a suicide note in which he said he was in ill health and a life insurance policy was expiring.

Days earlier, the financier from suburban Lake Forest gave an interview to the Journal about his quest, and it published stories about his efforts beginning in late June. The Journal also reported it had seen emails written by Smith showing his team considered retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, then a top adviser to Republican Donald Trump's campaign, as an ally. Flynn briefly was President Trump's national security adviser and resigned after it was determined he had failed to disclose contacts with Russia.

Yeah, he’s a financier and thinks a policy will pay out for a suicide?
So now beware of helium tanks, pillows, and exercise equipment.
The world is a dangerous place.

Some have said he was quite ill. Last I saw, he hadn’t posted since about December and someone hijacked his site name. Gonna miss him. Too bad his site wasn’t preserved.

I wish Attorney General Jeff Sessions viewed Hillary Clinton and the Deep State as a bigger threat to our Republic’s survival than MS13.

Sessions is too busy re-starting the D.A.R.E. program. He thinks he is the First Lady or Drug Tsar. All this messy deep state stuff, treason, murder, corruption, bribery. --- it's just too much to bother Old Jeffrey with.

Yes, and there are probably a bunch more suicide notes for many other people in her Bleached emails.

Smells like more ‘swamp gas’..... anybody else notice how this article authenticates the false narrative involving General Flynn?......

Since the WSJ, WaPo, NYT, and CNN have been well known outlets for CIA disinformation operations in the past; (As exposed in the Church Committee Congressional hearings)......are those same operations currently very active through their agents placed in the MSM?

Are elements of the US Government attempting to pull off a soft-coup against the legally elected President of the United States? .......as they did with the murder of JFK?

Is President Trump being visciously attacked via disinformation agents planted in the MSM as part of a contemporary version of Operation Mockingbird?

... More like Arkancide. It is absolutely amazing that after all of these years the body count is still rising.

As long as you own the policy for more than the stated minimum, which can be as little as two years.

Hard to believe an 81-yr-old would have term...it gets very expensive after 73 and you must keep it renewed at ever higher premiums every year or three. Whole Life, at 81, should be paid up, unless he took loans on the cash value. Even then, the premiums don’t rise as much as term.

My husband has a 25-year-old Whole Life policy that is now paying its premiums out of cash value. For the past 3 years, it has earned more than the premium and the cash value has actually appreciated some, even after deductions for premiums.

Insurance can be complicated.

Watching JFK’s head exploded like a watermelon, it did not appear that the coup was all that soft.
