===Hacking the State Department===
While cooling his heals outside of government for brief time after running the Torture program, Brennan hitched his wagon to his ideological kindman Barack Hussein Obama as candidate for President in 2008 over [[John McCain]], whom many viewed as a patriot. Brennan started his own consulting company, began contributing money to Obama and became an advisor.
Factually Barack Hussein Obama never obtained a U.S. passport until after he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004. As questions arose over how Obama travelled to Pakistan in 1981, under what name and Social Security number, and whether Obama committed crimes in using or failure to report using aiases to secure a passport and later an Illinois State Bar law license, Brennan's consulting firm hacked in to the U.S. State Department to access Obama's passport file. The internal State Department investigator who discovered the hack and was reviewing if was found shot dead on the streets of Washington two weeks later.
