Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been summoned to appear in a Spanish court to testify on whether the CIA planned to assassinate WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange while he was the head of the agency, the Spanish newspaper ABC reported.
Yahoo News reported last year that in 2017, the CIA plotted to kidnap Assange, and some senior officials discussed killing him and requested options on how to carry out the assassination. The CIA was furious with Assange over the WikiLeaks release of documents that detailed the spy agency’s hacking tools, known as Vault 7.
A former Trump national security official told Yahoo News that Pompeo and other senior officials “were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about Vault 7 … they were seeing blood.”
According to the ABC report, Pompeo must appear in court sometime this month to explain if there was a plot to kidnap or kill Assange, although he was given the option to appear via video link. William Evanina, the former head of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, was also summoned to appear before the court.
Assange has been held in London’s Belmarsh Prison for over three years without being convicted of a crime. The WikiLeaks founder is currently awaiting a decision from UK Home Secretary Priti Patel on whether or not he will be extradited to the US to face trial for exposing US war crimes.
Assange has been indicted by the US on 17 counts of espionage and one count of conspiracy to commit a computer crime for publishing documents leaked to him by former US Army soldier Chelsea Manning, a standard journalistic practice. If convicted, he could face up to 175 years in prison.

I wonder if they will televise the cruxifixction…
You are really good!
Lol, Donna’s the best! —-along with Wars. If ever I become a widow-lady, Wars is MINE!
Folks tell me I’m a fine-lookin’ woman 😉
Pompeo testifying. Now that is funny. So, when he holds his hand on the bible(do they do that in Spain?)will he burst into flames?
He will not go. He will proclaim that the national security of the U.S. of A. would be at risk. Or some mumbo jumbo like that.
Of course he isn’t going
Make him appear in person. Once he touches down arrest him for the attempted murder of Julian Assange. The Spanish court tried, convicted and jailed Pinochet. This could be the perfect scenario, a judicial contretemps for the US persecution of a primary hero of our times.
👏
Cool, so no European vacation for him. He is stuck in the USA for the rest of his life.
Free Assange.
I have little doubt that they had a “Contingency” plan to wack him, but they also have those same plans for just about everything. The question is whether or not there were actually actions taken to carry it out. You can make plans to rob a bank, it doesn’t become a crime until you actually move forward with those plans. At least in America that’s how it’s supposed to work, although as we see with some of our entrapment cases, they need to see very little “action” before they move in to make arrests.
I suspect that if they used the same level of “Justice” on Pompeo that they do for some mentally incompetent stooge that they set up with our various Stings, that he would be doing life in prison. But of course that’s not how it works, his plans are just “contingencies” while some kid with an IQ of 65 is engaging in a conspiracy to commit murder.
Exposing war crimes versus COMMITTING war crimes.
The human species need to either undergo a complete reset or be wiped off the planet.
If Assange is expedited and jailed, the rest of us need to initiate a plan to free him by any means possible, including violence. I’ll declare my farm a government-free zone and Assange can shelter here. It’s really very beautiful and pleasant.
