JOURNALIST WAS INVESTIGATING CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN BEFORE HE WAS KILLED IN FIERY CAR CRASH

Journalist Michael Hastings was investigating CIA Director John Brennan for an upcoming expose project prior to his tragic death in a car accident, the reporter’s wife, Elise Jordan, confirmed. XETV-TV reporter Kimberly Dvorak claims sources had told her the exact same thing.

Additionally, an anonymous source recently provided the news station with “an alarming email” hacked from CIA contractor Strafor’s President Fred Burton. The email, which was posted on WikiLeaks, claimed that Brennan previously headed up the government’s effort to crackdown on investigative journalists.

“Brennan is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources,” the alleged email reads. “Note — There is specific tasker from the WH to go after anyone printing materials negative to the Obama agenda (oh my.) Even the FBI is shocked. The Wonder Boys must be in meltdown mode…”

The email’s authenticity has not been confirmed.

After providing the Stratfor email to the CIA for comment, the spymaster’s spokesperson responded in lightning speed. Two emails were received; one acknowledging Hastings was working on a CIA story and the other said, “Without commenting on information disseminated by WikiLeaks, any suggestion that Director Brennan has ever attempted to infringe on constitutionally-protected press freedoms is offensive and baseless.”

The emails also prompted a phone from CIA media spokesman Todd Ebitz. He said they were saddened by Michael’s death and reiterated their position that they had a cordial working relationship with the investigative reporter.

The corrupt Congress does not care
(except for their GREEDY, drunk, whoring selves).

EVEN if there was TREASON, the little selfish, piggies
would be sure THEIR bank accounts were growing first,
that their payoff continued first, and that
THEY and their STAFF got special deals FIRST.

It definitely does not pay to investigate anyone in the gubmint less you wind up dead due to another “car accident”.
Amazing how these people meet untimely deaths. Remember the Clinton's long list of those who died an untimely and often bizarre demise?

Brennan is only doing the dirty work for the White House.

If Hastings had proof that Brennan had/ had been converted to islam (spit!), that might just do it. The US Gov’t is infiltrated and compromised by murderous muslim filth, and that wouldn’t sit well with 0traitor&Co. Just wondering out loud...

Makes me think of what Michael Corleone said to Kay when she inferred the government didn’t have people killed like the mafia did, “Now who is being naive, Kay?”.

Sounds like something out of this latest thriller I'm reading - highly recommend. Especially for anyone who posts anything online critical of the government!

Name of the book is: "Beginning of the End", and is the first novel by Michael T. Snyder, the publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog. Kindle version $3.99.

I'm 90% finished after purchasing it yesterday. So I haven't made it to the end yet; its a page turner and fun thriller.

An intelligence-connected person on Fox News characterized Brennan as being a very dirty SOB, the “kinfe you in the kidney from behind” type.

He said it in a different way but that’s what he meant. Looks like Brennan may be 0bama’s Lucca Brazzi.

Former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism Richard Clarke told The Huffington Post that what is known about the single-vehicle crash is “consistent with a car cyber attack.”

Clarke said, “There is reason to believe that intelligence agencies for major powers” — including the United States — know how to remotely seize control of a car.
