I can’t believe this story isn’t getting more play than it has. The skulduggery here is incredible!

When my dad was called up by the government to work on the Manhattan Project during its early days, they used coded language to make sure Nazi spies couldn’t figure out what was going on. When Enrico Fermi fired up his nuclear pile 1 in Chicago for the first time, and he confirmed that it was functioning properly, a coded telegram was sent to Roosevelt: “Columbus has reached the New World and has found the natives to be friendly.” That was the green light that started it all.

So in that vein, happy Columbus Day.

This article reads kinda’ convoluted, but it’s pretty simple. Mueller is investigating a $100,000.00 payoff to unnamed hackers in exchange for Hillary Clinton’s emails. The money came from a handful of Republican donors. And remember, these emails were STOLEN. And these donors knew that. Yeah, you read that right. They were knowingly buying stolen property. What’s unclear to me, is exactly WHO they were paying. Russian agents? Julian Assange? Or someone else?

But here’s where it gets fascinating. They set up an email account in the name of Robert Tyler, which several people involved in this scheme had access to. On October 11th of 2016, an email was sent to a Peter W. Smith, a long-time GOP operative with the subject line “Wire Instructions—Clinton Email Reconnaissance Initiative.” The text said this $100,000.00 will allow you to fund the “Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian Students.”

Hello? A scholarship fund for Russian students? I detect a secret code!

It continues: “The students are very pleased with the email releases they have seen, and are thrilled with their educational advancement opportunities.”

That sounds an awful lot like “Columbus has reached the New World and has found the natives to be friendly” to me.

So why not just hunt down this Peter W. Smith character and interview him? Because they can’t. Ten days after spilling his guts to the WSJ about his involvement in this caper, he committed suicide. And he left a note: “NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER.”

So in summation...

• Republican donors collect $100k to purchase stolen Clinton emails from unnamed ne’er-do-wells.

• Email confirming receipt of $100k is sent under the heading “Wire Instructions—Clinton Email Reconnaissance Initiative.”

• The alleged recipient of the $100k is a group called “Washington Scholarship Fund for the Russian Students.” Which by the way, the WSJ has been unable to confirm the existence of. It’s bogus.

• But my favorite part, the veiled confirmation: “The students are very pleased with the email releases they have seen, and are thrilled with their educational advancement opportunities.”

• And the man at beginning of this saga chose to take his own life, rather than face the unknown music.

Just remember, my friends. NO COLLUSION. And Mueller is all over this.
