Per Ortel the connection runs through boards to the CF. Watched an interview on OAN earlier wherein he stated that he had personally called MH to warn her.
Did a loose search for corroborating reported sauce and the only pieces that popped were that Ortel had spoken with the guy who was crowdsourcing offers for Clinton emails ( which we posted here multiple times -I think last Spring timeframe) -Ortel had spoken with him an hour or so before his Arkancide.
