I'm tired of acting like this didn't happen. My reporting was 100% accurate. I did nothing wrong. Journalists shouldn't try to intimidate other journalists.

Earlier this year, CBS News commentator Elliot Ackerman's lawyers sent letters to suspected intelligence sources of mine in response to my reporting on Ackerman's CIA career. The letter insinuated that I'm a Russian agent -- part of an effort to suppress my reporting on Ackerman and his CIA mentor.

Someone should ask CBS news commentator and Free Press writer Elliot Ackerman why he hired two PR firms and two law firms, along with other measures, to try to suppress my reporting on him and his CIA mentor. In the meantime, I'm going back to work.

Barrett Brown is privately claiming in a large group chat with ~150 people in it that you, Jacob, are going after DDoSecrets over some sort of intimidation campaign against you. Can you speak on that? Is Barrett talking out of his ass again?
