Weeks after the fiery death of investigative journalist Michael Hastings , who was probing abuses by the CIA and NSA and had recently informed others that he was being investigated by federal authorities, suspicions about his mysterious car crash are still swirling around the Internet. While police officially ruled the death an accident, serious questions are still surfacing even in the establishment media and among prominent officials. Based on e-mails Hastings sent out shortly before he died about working on a big story and needing to go off the radar, it has become clear that he was worried, too.
Hastings, who wrote for Rolling Stone, BuzzFeed, Gawker, and other publications, was probably best known for his award-winning 2010 article The Runaway General. The piece helped bring down U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of American and NATO forces in Afghanistan. Despite his establishment credentials and what analysts called his Democrat-friendly reporting, Hastings had become extremely alarmed about the surveillance state and other troubling developments in recent months. His last published story: "Why Democrats Love To Spy On Americans."

Less than 24 hours before his death, Hastings made it crystal clear that he was concerned about his own well-being

Heavy-hitters from the government sector have expressed concerns, too. Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke, for example ... that the deadly car crash was consistent with a car cyber-attack. Intelligence agencies for major powers including the U.S. government almost certainly know how to remotely seize control of a car

I thought it was the attorney for a State Dept. whistleblower, not Snowden.
Obviously! :^)
Breitbart had dinner with Ayers & Dorn 3 weeks before his death.
“...suspicions about his mysterious car crash are still swirling around the Internet....”
Ya think?
Sorry if someone else posted, I haven’t had time to skim the whole thread, but this looks like something that definitely goes along with this whole subject:
Cameras Catch break in at Whistleblower’s law firm

The offices of a Dallas law firm representing a high-profile State Department whistleblower were broken into last weekend. Burglars stole three computers and broke into the firm’s file cabinets. But silver bars, video equipment and other valuables were left untouched, according to local Fox affiliate KDFW, which aired security camera footage of the suspected burglars entering and leaving the offices around the time of the incident. The firm Schulman & Mathias represents Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator at the State Department’s Office of the Inspector General. In recent weeks, she raised a slew of explosive allegations against the department and its contractors ranging from illicit drug use, soliciting sexual favors from minors and prostitutes and sexual harassment. “It’s a crazy, strange and suspicious situation,” attorney Cary Schulman told The Cable. “It’s clear to me that it was somebody looking for information and not money. My most high-profile case right now is the Aurelia Fedenisn case, and I can’t think of any other case where someone would go to these great lengths to get our information.” According to the KDFW report, the firm was the only suite burglarized in the high-rise office building and an unlocked office adjacent was left untouched. The State Department, which has repeatedly disputed Fedenisn’s allegations, denied any involvement in the incident. “Any allegation that the Department of State authorized someone to break into Mr. Schulman’s law firm is false and baseless,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

Was it Snowdens lawyers????I knew it was a whistleblower but didnt think it was him???
Many thanks for the ping.
The lawyers offices that were burgled were in dallas; they were representing a lady whistleblower from the state dept, a Mrs. Fedenisn.
Ah, thank you.
Same concept. Clear disregard of the law by Obama.
Yes, thank you.
a real head scratcher
This is clearly a drone attack!
A hellfire missile drone attack.
If you do not immediately add me to your ping list, I will not only report you to the Mods, I will report you to JimRob himself!
And can't be stopped by turning the key?
Ohhhkay. I guess it's time to install that kill switch that the NSA won't know about.
Oh crap.
Are you calling W a Homo?!?!?!!!!
The killing of Breitbart, the method and triggerman, is quite well documented - here on FR. People just don’t pay attention.
The ones who do pay attention know.
Instantly added!
There’s things about Petraeus that *will* kill, but it’s not the sex scandal.
I think the dumb gits just blew themselves up killing Hastings.
Not much is more dangerous to these despots than for a sycophant press member to turn.
