Republican donor kills himself after talking about working with Russian hackers

[Swordsmyth]

A GOP donor and opposition researcher who reportedly tried to work with Russian hackers to retrieve deleted emails from a private server used by Hillary Clinton, has committed suicide, according to public records cited in a Chicago Tribune report.Peter Smith killed himself days after he was interviewed by The Wall Street Journal where he claimed to be working with Russian hackers to retrieve some 33,000 deleted Clinton emails and pass them to Michael Flynn, a former campaign adviser to Donald Trump.
Death records from Minnesota show that Smith, 81, killed himself in a hotel through "asphyxiation due to displacement of oxygen in confined space with helium" on May 14. Smith was found with a bag over his head, a helium source, and a suicide note that read there was "NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER" regarding his death.
Smith also apologized to the authorities and attributed his final decision to a "recent bad turn in health," according to the records cited by the Tribune, which also claimed his $5 million life insurance policy was close to expiring.

I assumed this was sarcasm (the suicide note is something out of a political cartoon), but Google tells me otherwise...

So, who dun it? Team Clinton for having email dirt on her, or Team Trump for having hacking her email with the Russians dirt on them?

This is why Stanley Kubrick was murder/suicided




Oh and this

[UWDude]

Team Clinton for having email dirt on her, or Team Trump for having hacking her email with the Russians dirt on them?

Team Clinton. Because the Russian connection thing is a complete fabrication. I am 100% confident of this assessment.

That's a clever way to murder someone, if they scream for help, people will just be looking out their window trying to find the wicked witch of the west.

EXCLUSIVE: Doubt Surfaces About ‘Suicide’ Claim of Clinton Investigator


The Tribune reported that Smith was asphyxiated. “He was found with a bag over his head with a source of helium attached.”

Prior to Thursday’s revelation, it was assumed the 81-year old political investigator had died of natural causes while at the Mayo Clinic.

Ortel vigorously dismissed the allegation that Smith took his own life.
Ortel, who may have been the last person to speak with Smith prior to his death,
told TheDCNF there were no indications the wealthy Chicago businessman was about to commit suicide the next day.

“It was a friendly chat,” Ortel recalled of the phone conversation that occurred May 13.
“But it certainly wasn’t the kind of chat where a person might go out
and purchase two helium canisters
and put a bag over your head.
That made no sense,” Ortel said.

Ortel did express doubts about the note Smith allegedly left behind, written in
all caps, stating

“NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER.”

Smith reportedly wrote that he was taking his own life because of a

“RECENT BAD TURN IN HEALTH SINCE JANUARY, 2017”

and that his timing was related

“TO LIFE INSURANCE OF $5 MILLION EXPIRING.”

Ortel said that none of the emails he received from Smith were written in all-caps.

“I don’t remember a single one in all cap letters,” he said.
“To put that in a suicide note as many times as he did
and in language that’s not really professional doesn’t sound like him”

He also noted that many life insurance policies usually exclude payment to beneficiaries in the case of suicide.
