The CIA reportedly plotted to kidnap Julian Assange, and some senior officials in the agency and the Trump administration allegedly went so far as to consider options for how to assassinate the WikiLeaks founder

Pompeo and others “were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about Vault 7,” according to a former Trump national security official, referring to the document dump. “They were seeing blood.”

Additional CIA plans allegedly included “extensive spying on WikiLeaks associates, sowing discord among the group’s members, and stealing their electronic devices.” The report, based on conversations with more than 30 former officials, notes that the CIA’s plans for Assange reportedly led to strenuous debates regarding their legality. Some administration officials were so concerned that they felt the need to tell members of Congress about Pompeo’s suggestions.

This is reprehensible behavior by the United States Government and the global intelligence community. FreeAssange Fight4Julian

I thought Trump LOVED Wikileaks? They were quite responsible in getting Trump into the White house1

Hey, it worked for Epstein …

ACJJustice How many still in CIA and DOJ were in on this or any other trump behind the scenes criminality but afraid to come out? WTF

For those in the cheap seats.

Rolling Stone is by far the most FakeNews in America right now

Well Kushner was part of the Khashoggi murder. They have zero respect for human life.

Sure, they want to save and MAN that guy wants them to kill.

Fat Mike the worst of the worst 🤮

Trying to report news again? How quickly is this going to get retracted. You guys ask the same doctor as last time?

Meanwhile the U.S. government will continue its persecution of Assange to make sure he dies in solitary confinement in a maximum security prison for exposing the war crimes of the same U.S. government.

Let me guess you got that information from wikileaks? lol

shangrilagirl But don't trump and assange both work for putin?

That’s what happens, when you know too much.

Of course he did. Murder is how we solve all our problems.

Rolling stone has a track record of lying so...

Nah. That's a Clinton thing. If they an iota of power, he would have been dead already. 3 shots, back of his head and its suicide

And Taibbi and Greenwald have been vilifying BarackObama for something that their Russia idol’s administration ended up doing. Where are they now?

We need to fact check the Rolling Stones before we believe them.

dawn6924 ?

well they canceled that plan cause he smells bad.

Is this why he wasn’t able to get extradited 🤨 He wasn’t safe in the US

The DOJ needs to staff an entire division of investigators and attorneys with decision making power and investigate Trump’s entire 4 years in office. Every day, every person, every phone call, text, email. An entire division of ppl.

Um why are they not in jail for this WTAF

Oh, now you’re doing reporting

Woah Assange must have a lot of dirt on Trump

Isn’t this the same mag that reported a Oklahoma hospital was filled with ivermectin OD’s?🤡

I always thought Trump liked him?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least. I remember when Trump was singing the praises of Assange, and then suddenly, when Trump realized what he had on him and Jr., he suddenly knew nothing about him. Usual Trump lies.

FrancisWegner Classic CIA. We should disband that mess of criminals

sheltgarner Hmmmm. Sort of makes you wonder all over again about Jeffrey Epstein.

The trolls trying to distance Truml by all this.

public domain 'Free Julian Assange' folk song from a fewe years ago:

Didn't wikileaks help him get elected?

His actions cost lives Revealing the lists of narcs off the war

I wonder what Greenwald and Taibbi will say about this, crickets. Like them both as journalist but would like to see some bipartisan criticism.

Far fetched stories by

Just shows you Trump ain't one of you.

I thought they did kidnap him … or arrest him … this guys story makes me curiouser & curiouser

why?

Kidnapping, assassination and a London shoot-out: Inside the CIA's secret war plans against WikiLeaksIn 2017, as Julian Assange began his fifth year holed up in Ecuador’s embassy in London, the CIA plotted to kidnap the WikiLeaks founder, spurring heated debate among Trump administration officials over the legality and practicality of such an operation. Assange didn’t seek and get asylum from Ecuador to avoid the investigation in Sweden. His application, and approval for it, were explicitly to avoid extradition to the United States, which as this article ought to make quite clear, was a key agenda all along. In a statement to Yahoo News, former President Donald Trump denied that he ever considered having WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange assassinated Since when has the CIA let 'legality' stop them?
