I have a suspicion that the CIA knew the identity of this kid and his associates within a few minutes of this Brennan guy figuring out his email had been hacked.

Well I have a [conspiracy] theory that they knew his identity before the hack - perfect way for the director to leak information without being brought to book, send it to an account that can be easily accessed with social engineering.

Or we can go deeper, the CIA director was preparing to do this so the subject-to-be of the docs he wished to leak had his account hacked to expose the flaw and prevent the leak-to-be.

Well, you're right. That certainly is a conspiracy theory.
It's a fun pastime coming up with them IMO, clearly not appreciated here however.
