Because no one in the White House believes it's false.

Right now we now that hacked information was delivered to a GOP operative in Florida and used in Congressional races down there. Now we have a longterm GOP moneyman and operative on the record as trying to get Russian Hackers to hack Clinton's server and deliver her emails.

When he reached out to a computer security expert, he was warned that he might be dealing with the Russian intelligence services and thus could be in legal jeopardy. He didn't care. There's two witness who said this operative, Peter Smith, said he that was close to Michael Flynn and Michael Flynn Jr and implied the Trump campaign supported him in this effort. Smith denied this to the WSJ and said he was acting independently.

A second story came out that said that as Smith was trying to recruit people to work on this project, he named several Trump advisors:

Wall Street Journal revealed that in a document Smith distributed while he was trying to recruit for his effort, he named the Trump campaign as one of four groups involved somehow, and specifically listed the names of several Trump advisers including Flynn, Steve Bannon, and Kellyanne Conway.

Bannon and Conway strongly denied being involved with Smith’s effort in any way. Flynn, however, did not respond to Harris’s requests for comment.

He even created a company to handle this project and specifically mentioned he was doing it so the "Campaign" wouldn't be seen paying the people on the project. He listed the following Team Trump members as being part of the project :Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Sam Clovis, Lt. Gen. Flynn and Lisa Nelson.

Then, a few weeks into my interactions with Smith, he sent me a document, ostensibly a cover page for a dossier of opposition research to be compiled by Smith’s group, and which purported to clear up who was involved. The document was entitled “A Demonstrative Pedagogical Summary to be Developed and Released Prior to November 8, 2016,” and dated September 7. It detailed a company Smith and his colleagues had set up as a vehicle to conduct the research: “KLS Research”, set up as a Delaware LLC “to avoid campaign reporting,” and listing four groups who were involved in one way or another.

The first group, entitled “Trump Campaign (in coordination to the extent permitted as an independent expenditure)” listed a number of senior campaign officials: Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, Sam Clovis, Lt. Gen. Flynn and Lisa Nelson.

The largest group named a number of “independent groups / organizations / individuals / resources to be deployed.” My name appears on this list. At the time, I didn’t recognize most of the others; however, several made headlines in the weeks immediately prior to the election.

Just learned that Peter Smith contacted the reporter and offered to give an interview. He hoped to do more reporting and more interviews with Smith, but Smith died 10 days. He has no evidence of foul play, but he also has not been able to get any info on the cause of death.
