Joseph Schmitz approached the FBI and other government agencies about material a client of his had discovered that Schmitz believed might have been Clinton's missing 30,000 emails from her private e-mail server, sources say. The material was never verified, and sources say they ultimately believed it was fake.

His push is the latest example of Trump advisers who were mixed up in efforts to find dirt on Clinton during the presidential campaign

What is “The Dark Web”? Is that anything not approved by the DNC? CNN = America’s Pravda.

You mean the illegal emails feloniously deleted and destroyed after they were subpoenaed?

In Clinton’s case “ finding dirt” was finding truth
Probably some of it actionable criminal activity

No one ever does ‘more dirt on opponents’ than a Clinton.

How many people are still alive from the 600 +++ FBI files Hillary stole in the 90’s????

In other words: They were pursuing evidence that was destroyed by Clinton.

So providing a tip to the FBI about possible evidence in a crime is a scandal, according to red diaper baby Carl Bernstein and his accomplices?

“Trump adviser played key role in pursuit of possible Clinton emails from dark web”

Wouldn’t that be treason against the People’s Republic of Clinton?

No wonder CNN’s ratings are basement level. They’re basket cases.

What other ominous sounding non-news will they come up with next?

Did Trump’s people obscure their online identity using strong encryption or a VPN? Did they hide their online presence behind a firewall?

Are they part of a secretive white nationalist group that uses whitelisting to sneak their dog-whistle-coded emails past the spam filters?

As opposed to Hillary paying for a fake dossier from a foreigner?
