BEFORE MYSTERIOUS DEATH, ANDREW BREITBART TARGETED PODESTA IN TWEET
Breitbart claimed Podesta was a shadow controller in DC

A haunting Tweet from the late journalist Andrew Breitbart has reemerged, which has renewed interest in his mysterious death amid ongoing speculation spurred by the leaked emails of DC insider John Podesta.
