Earlier this week, there was a report out that a teenager had somehow managed to hack into the personal AOL email account of CIA Director John Brennan. A proverbial “bad news if true” moment if there ever was one:

And now we have WikiLeaks reporting that they’ve obtained the contents of the hacked emails and will be posting them “shortly”:
ANNOUNCE: We have obtained the contents of CIA Chief John Brennan's email account and will be releasing it shortly.

Game over for John Brennan, right? Freaking AOL???
This is probably bigger news than whatever Joe Biden is about to say. https://t.co/pVOjHZDvao

Brennan would have to resign if he really was using an AOL account to conduct business, right?
