Mr. Smith’s purpose in listing the officials isn’t clear. There is no indication in the document that he sought or received any coordination from the campaign officials or the campaign in general.

Mr. Smith died in mid-May at age 81, about 10 days after he spoke to the Journal. He said he operated independently of the Trump campaign.

Officials identified in the document include Steve Bannon, now chief strategist for President Donald Trump; Kellyanne Conway, former campaign manager and now White House counselor; Sam Clovis, a policy adviser to the Trump campaign and now a senior adviser at the Agriculture Department; and retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, who was a campaign adviser and briefly was national security adviser in the Trump administration.

5. The Journal

News Department plays it straight, it's the Editorial section that leans to the far right.

2. I don't believe the campaign wasn't involved in that. No way.

And Kellyanne Conway, too? So no one involved with that administration isn't corrupt. No one is clean.

This gets worse & worse.

8. Sitting in the White House

Eyeing Democrats with bad intent
Snot is running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Hey Bannon..

6. Conspiracy.

In the distance I imagine hearing the strains of the Watergaters, singing together on the chain gang in federal prison back in the day.

Conspiracy will be the end of many of the current crop of Republican fuckups.

9. Hmmm. Sam Clovis recruited Carter Page. Veddy interesting.

10. Trump using his BF, Putin, tactics.

12. Just a Coincidence That Trump Went After Mika

As a distraction?

13. Bet that Chris Ruddy is involved, too

Ruddy was part of that whole "Arkansas Project" world, too, and he's a Trump bff.
