The mysterious links between Assange, Michael Flynn, and the suicide of Peter Smith, Rep operative

Maybe Assange's planned arrest was the redacted MYSTERY in Michael FLYNN's partner's case.
Remember that Flynn had a partner, Bijan Kian, who is also facing prosecution? And that he was trying to get some interview documents from the Mueller team, that he wanted to use to discredit Flynn?
One of the Mueller team's arguments was that if they just waited till April 5th, something that was causing them to want to keep some information confidential might be moot. Meaning, it wouldn't be in effect anymore. No one has known what would have changed to make it moot.
Well, this arrest of Assange has been in the works for weeks, and Wikileaks has been screaming about it for days. Maybe it was originally planned to happen a few days ago -- April 5th. Maybe this arrest was the thing that was going to render the issue in the Kian case moot. Maybe that's what the Mueller people weren't willing to disclose.
Because Flynn DID have connections with Wikileaks and Assange. It will be interesting if some of Flynn's testimony that Mueller didn't yet want to reveal is related to Julian Assange.
Oh -- and as an interesting side note -- Peter Smith, the Republican operative mentioned below, appeared to have killed himself -- but in curious circumstances.

A Republican operative who sought out thousands of Hillary Clinton’s deleted emails developed a relationship with President Trump’s former national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as early as 2015, The Wall Street Journal reported.
That operative, Peter Smith, told associates during the 2016 presidential campaign that he was using Flynn’s connections to help him track down the emails, the paper reported.
Flynn pleaded guilty in late 2017 to lying to investigators about contacts he had with Russian government officials, and has been cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller since then. He is due to be sentenced in December.
SNIP
The nature of Smith’s death has raised some suspicion.
He was found dead in a hotel in Minnesota days after telling The Wall Street Journal in an interview that he had been seeking Clinton’s emails from Russian hackers. A suicide note found near him said: “NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER.”
The reporter who interviewed Smith later wrote in a tweet that he saw “no indication that he was ill or planning to take his own life.” In June, it was made public via a court filing that Kathryn Rakoczy, an attorney known for her work in violent crimes cases, had joined the Mueller probe.
