Brennan was implicated in an alleged internal email from private intelligence firm Stratfor, published by Wikileaks, as the head of the federal government’s crackdown on investigative journalists when he served as the White House’ counter-terrorism adviser.
The email was obtained from a December 2011 hack against the firm by the hacktivist collective Anonymous.
While the CIA confirmed that Hastings was working on the story about Brennan, the agency denied allegations that he was hunting down investigative journalists.
One of the hackers allegedly involved in Stratfor hack, Jeremy Hammond, is currently facing a maximum sentence of up to a decade in federal prison and a $2.5 million fine, under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, for his role in the hack.

Another interesting case ...
Secret Service had Reddit founder Aaron Swartz under surveillance before his suicide
Newly-released documents show the Secret Service searched Swartz’s home and research office at Harvard University
Swartz, 26, was facing trial on charges he hacked into a Massachusetts Institute of Technology archive of scholarly articles with the aim of making the articles free to the public
He hanged himself in his Brooklyn apartment in January, before the start of the trial
His family called his death ‘the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach’

With everything we now know, maybe Swartz Didn’t hang HIMSELF.
Thanks for the pings! Have not followed the Hastings conspiracy that much but sure looks like it bears watching. We know Brennan is suspect from way, way back!!
Please keep me posted if you see something else!!
