BOMBSHELL- Author who Clinton ally sought to silence speaks out: Russiagate was 'designed to assist Clinton campaign'

This revelation has been reported relentlessly by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Gateway Pundit, and this blog and other sources for over three years! 
But, where wasn't it reported?  The mainstream media who acted in concert with bad players in the DOJ, FBI, the CIA, and other parts on the intelligence community in the biggest government corruption in U.S. history.  It's bad enough to have bad actors in government.  What's worse is to have bad actors in the media!  They're the ones who suppose to speak truth to power and who hold government acceptable.  If we had an honest press government corruption wouldn't stand a chance.          

Fox News reports following alleged attempts by Clinton ally Sidney Blumenthal to stop author Lee Smith's book from being published, Smith spoke about Russiagate on "Sunday Morning Futures" and claimed the entire saga was a political hit, intended to help Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Smith discussed the involvement of Stefan Halper, who he claimed was a political operative being paid exorbitant sums of money to help bring down then-candidate Donald Trump, under the cover of conducting "studies" on foreign governments.

"What we see is these are not actual studies -- we hear that he was reportedly the FBI’s confidential source, sent against the Trump campaign," he told host Maria Bartiromo.

"What he really is... is a political operative," Smith continued. "This was a political operation designed to assist the Clinton campaign. We talk a lot about the FBI, and DOJ and we’re right to focus on the very bad, likely criminal things they did. But it’s important to remember that the primary beneficiary was the Clinton campaign."
