So the late Peter Smith was the only link between Trump and the Clinton emails? Maybe his death wasn't a suicide, huh.
PETER SMITH was contacted by Michael Flynn to find the deleted Clinton emails, at Trump's request, per Mueller. pic.twitter.com/jKhZZAOcrp

To say it again, with the Mueller Report: Russian interference in the U.S. election *absolutely happened*. It should’ve been possible for Trump appointees, Reps, far left, far right media to separate “interference” from “collusion”. They muddled it all into “Russiagate”. pic.twitter.com/QOJ5JG9qxZ

#MuellerReport RT: @JYSexton Manafort discussed specific battleground states with Kilimnik, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, all of which resulted in the unlikely election of Donald Trump.

It's really apparent, btw, the degree to which counterintelligence information is not included here. The briefings to the Intel Committees will be quite interesting.

In case someone doesn't get it, this means: Trump DID obstruct justice, BIG TIME, and did so willfully and purposely. People around him simply refused to go to prison for him. https://t.co/qakRp742Ea

For all the #LockHerUp chants and conspiracies about Clinton emails from Trump team, interesting to see in #MuellerReport all the Trump team members using personal email, deleting communications, not keeping records, encrypted personal comms. Hypocrisy abounds.
