Spanish High Court Summons Mike Pompeo to Testify About CIA Plans to Kidnap, Assassinate Julian Assange

A Spanish court has summoned former CIA Director Mike Pompeo as a witness to testify about whether the US government planned to kidnap or even assassinate WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

ABC in Spain shared an article about it, if you prefer reading the story in Spanish.

Last year, CaitlinJohnstone.com shared these clips from an interview Pompeo did on the topic.

Kelly asked Pompeo about the claims.

“Makes for pretty good fiction, Megyn,” said Pompeo. “They should write such a novel.”

He added, “Whoever those 30 people who allegedly spoke with one of these reporters, they should all be prosecuted for speaking about classified activity inside the Central Intelligence Agency.”

Pompeo called Wikileaks a “non-state hostile intelligence service” that is “actively seeking to steal American classified information.”

“You deny the report?” asked Kelly.

“There’s pieces of it that are true,” said Pompeo. “We tried to protect American information from Julian Assange and Wikileaks, absolutely, yes. Did our justice department believe they had a valid claim which would’ve resulted in the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States to stand trial? Yes. I supported that effort for sure. Did we ever engage in activity that was inconsistent with U.S. law?… We’re not permitted by U.S. law to conduct assassinations. We never acted in a way that was inconsistent with that.”

Does that sound like political talk to you too?

I sure don’t trust anyone who was the former head of the CIA. or DIA. 

What are your thoughts? 

Do you think Mike Pompeo participated in a plot to kidnap and assassinate Julian Assange?
