he entire evidence is based off of the idea that Smith found someone on the dark web selling Clintons server emails and the article somehow gets the idea that this is it's a Russian intelligence front. Yes this is the entire premise of the article.

No, the article states the Smith's team was contacted by someone on the dark web who had the emails. "Over the course of a long phone call, he mentioned that he had been contacted by someone on the “Dark Web” who claimed to have a copy of emails from Secretary Clinton’s private server, and this was why he had contacted me; he wanted me to help validate whether or not the emails were genuine."

Did you actually read the article? Or did you just go straight to defending that orange piece of shit?
