The thing that stood out to me here was that Smith had been doing business with David Brock as early as 1992!
"In September 1992, during the presidential campaign, Smith started to donate funds to the private investigation of President Clinton’s sexual conduct and to try and persuade the mainstream media to cover Bill Clinton’s sex life.
His effort included him reaching out to David Brock in October 1992, and he paid $25,000.00 over 2 years to Eddie Mahe. This led to Smith giving Brock $5,000.00 to research a sexual rumour about Bill Clinton and Arkansas — that he had a child with a black prostitute (Danney Williams) — which provided zero results. This was partly due to Smith also bankrolling Cliff Jackson.
In August 1993, Smith introduced Brock to various Arkansas state troopers who later accused Bill Clinton of using them to procure women while he was the Governor of Arkansas, in an event that would later be titled “Troopergate”. Smith mentioned his desire to create a fund for the troopers should they face backlash, which Brock disagreed with.
To resolve the issue, Smith redirected Brock to Porter under Jackson’s request to discuss further and to assist Paula Jones, and while Brock assumed the topic had been dealt with — that there would be no payments — Smith then paid the Arkansas state troopers and their lawyers $22,600.00.
In January 1994, Brock published the article “His Cheating’ Heart” in The American Spectator.
In March 1994, Smith had spent a total of $80,000.00 on the private investigation into President Clinton’s sexual conduct. It was this month that he paid two of the Arkansas state troopers and their lawyers $22,6000.00.
By April 1995, Smith was considered a close confidant and adviser to Newt Gingrich, having donated roughly $109,000.00 to Gingrich and associated ventures, including the previously named GOPAC."
I'd never even heard of this guy before. The Medium piece blew my mind. It closes with this:
"On March 4, 2019, Representative Jerry Nadler sent a letter to numerous people associated with the Trump-Russia investigation, including the estate of Peter W. Smith, to request documents."
