This is tonight’s Wall Street Journal’s bombshell, but it has no anonymous sources! HOORAY!! But it does have what seems to be a tenuous association between Mike Flynn and a guy trying to get Hillary’s emails from Russian hackers.
Watch below:
.@ShaneHarris on #MTPDaily: Flynn was possibly aware of GOP operatives attempt to obtain hacked Clinton emails. https://t.co/EMMV5EIPLi

Liberals are saying this is the closest real connection to collusion so far. But it’s very indirect, even if it’s true.
The NYPost explains:
The Wall Street Journal said that GOP operative Peter W. Smith was scouring the world of hackers, including Russians, to get the Clinton emails, which the former Democratic presidential candidate said were deleted because they were personal.
Smith considered Flynn — who was at the time an advisor to President Trump’s campaign — an ally in his search, according to emails written by Smith and obtained by the Journal.
“He said, ‘I’m talking to Michael Flynn about this—if you find anything, can you let me know?’” Eric York, an Atlanta computer-security expert, told the paper.
The Journal cautioned that it was unclear what role Flynn might have played in Smith’s email hack hunt — which turned up nothing. Flynn did not respond to the paper’s requests for comment.
So I dunno. There might be something here, but there needs to be much more evidence than a guy who was emailing a guy and heard from another guy….
UPDATE:
I mean, meathead says it’s true, so it has to be true, right?
WSJ bombshell. 1st bit of concrete evidence of Trump/Russia collusion. All roads lead to Flynn. Fuse is long but DT goes down.
