Now for the facts.
Of course, Trump and his trumpeters love their conspiracy theories.

Many people are saying that the Iranians killed the scientist who helped the U.S. because of Hillary Clinton's hacked emails. 

Fact: Shahram Amiri’s execution comes at the end of an almost decade-long history, in which Amiri reportedly defected to the US of his own accord, defected back to Iran with the Iranian government’s support, and was then imprisoned for spying and ultimately executed."Shahram Amiri was hanged for revealing the country’s top secrets to the enemy," Iran’s Justice Ministry told the country’s state news agency. Amiri’s mother confirmed seeing his body with rope marks around his neck.

Fact: There is "no reasonable connection between the discussion of Amiri’s case on email by Clinton’s staff to Amiri’s eventual execution," writes the Washington Post’s Josh Rogin, who started covering Amiri’s story six years ago:
There’s no evidence her server was hacked. The Iranians knew all about Amiri well before the emails were released publicly. His kidnapping story never held water and his fate was sealed long before his sentence was carried out.

Fact: Rather, the implication that Clinton has Amiri’s blood on her hands is yet another example of Trump’s often heedless commentary — let’s not forget his ludicrous insinuations that Sen. Ted Cruz’s father was involved in JFK’s assassination — only now it’s all the more serious with Trump as the official presidential nominee for the Republican Party.

Fact: Over the past two years, Clinton’s team has released almost all 52,455 emails from her private server. But Amiri’s story predates the "so called scandal" and there is no evidence that Clinton’s emails were "hacked" — by the Iranians or anyone else. Even more importantly, though, the premise that the Iranian government tied Amiri to espionage after reading Clinton’s private emails is inconsistent with Amiri’s own story.In the summer of 2009, Amiri, a nuclear scientist at Tehran's Malek-Ashtar University of Technology, which reportedly has ties to Iran’s military, disappeared while on a religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. A year later, he appeared in the United States, having reportedly defected to the CIA.

There's a whoile lot more to the story for those who are interested.

It's either Breitbart or Drudge for the cuckoos, especially now that their beloved FOX is involved in one of the biggest scandals in media history.
