Whole thing that happened with the gop operative in florida named aaron nevens. someone reached out to him with allegedly hacked e-mails, and aaron nevens took advantage of that. it could have been the same thing with smith. he was seeing what he could do with the material he had. >> so david, with that in mind, and there is no evidence right now that peter smith was working on behalf of flynn or anyone else in the campaign, but flynn's name seeps to be at the center of the stories as it relates to russia. >> flynn was a key point of contact going back to the time that he was the head of the d...

That he thought that smith really knew a lot about the campaign about the interworkings. he knew a lot about michael flynn and his son very well. he seemed to know a bit too much to be that far removed from the campaign and michael flynn. >> this is an important story. it could be the first piece in the puzzle that links to some form of collusion between the trump campaign. kellyanne conway and steve bannon denied any links with peter smith, sam cloves has not responded. it's not clear in the reporting that there was any direct link. i think it's worth stressing that point. peter smith may hav...
