michael hastings the reporter from rolling stone who died in a car accident
recently uh... we had that tweet from wiki weeks which was send out shortly
after his passing which said that he had been in touch with the wiki weeks
attorney in indicated that he was being investigated by the f_b_i_
we now call so have
and email that michael hastings said to a number of people including the staff
at buzzfeed were he was employed anne also blind carbon copied the message to
staff sergeant joseph biggs who met hastings in two thousand eight when he
was embedded in his unit and afghanistan
and the email said
the feds are interviewing my close friends and associates perhaps if the
authorities arrived buzzfeed g_q_ her h q may be wise to immediately request
legal counsel before any conversations are interviews about our news-gathering
practices or related jheryl isn't issues also i'm onto a big story anne to go off
the radar for a bit all the best hope to see you
subsequent to this the f_b_i_ also and what is not really a common thing the
f_b_i_ doesn't often say something like this the f_b_i_ said we were not
investigating michael hastings uh... loss angeles police also said they found
no evidence of foul play in his death
a lot of people continuing to be emailed me saying and missing the big picture
well his his engine was a hundred feet from his car we don't even know why he
was driving a hundred miles per hour for a and it doesn't sound like him
it's circumstantial
and there certainly aspects to this better unanswered that does not mean
there was a conspiracy i think that
what what is a possibility that i would believe it is not that he was killed by
the f_b_i_ but rather that
he clearly
he was being
surveilled he very well may have been
in a paranoid state he may have believed he was being followed by someone that
night who was trying to do harm to him
and that let him to try to escape and as we know people trying to escape often
dugan into car accidents i don't know i really don't know what happened it's
also perfectly possible that someone driving it for a m ana ana
road as norma cars on it wanted to enjoy his nice speedy mercedes
and a hundred miles per hour at this worked dot something and just lost
control the vehicle certainly set they could do no more than that and uh...
will we ever
is there any information that would be there sits as satisfactorily proved to
people that the either yes this was a conspiracy or that it definitely wasn't
i think that there is no such evidence i don't think we will ever actually get
consensus on that because there are people who definitely want to believe
one side of that story or the other toward affair autopsy says that they
found uh... alcohol in his blood
will conduct a part of the conspiracy
feds liquor him ups and there was a wonderful thing about conspiracies
anything can be part of it has been anything can be part of it
