According to a tweet from Wikileaks and Ben Smith, editor-in-chief
of the liberal site BuzzFeed Politics, not long before his death in a
one-person car crash earlier this week, left-wing journalist Michael Hastings
believed he was under investigation by the FBI.

Hastings gained national attention in 2010 after exposing inflammatory
comments made by Gen. Stanley McChrystal about President Barack
Obama and the civilian leadership of the military.
Friday,
the FBI denied it had ever
investigated Hastings.
Immediately
after the news of the 33-year-old reporter's death broke, conspiracy theories
started to swirl claiming that the government was behind the fiery crash. The
Wikileaks' tweet and Smith's apparent confirmation only served to fuel those
theories.
As of
now, though, the LAPD does not suspect foul play and
the evidence points to speed being the major cause
of the 4:30 am accident.
A
toxicology report is expected in a few weeks. Hastings had a history of drunk-driving
and admitted to struggling with substance abuse.
