Assange Team Crashes Pompeo Photo Op, Serves Lawsuit On Ex-CIA Director

Valiant News: A process server successfully served a lawsuit on former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo, officially notifying the former him he is subject to a lawsuit claiming he was behind an effort to spy on journalists and lawyers who communicated with Assange while he sought refuge at the Ecuador embassy in the United Kingdom.

In the lawsuit, filed in August according to IT Wire, the plaintiffs allege that Pompeo used his position at the CIA to arrange a plot that included security firm UC Global and allowed the U.S. intelligence agency to spy on “Julian Assange and his visitors,” including journalists and lawyers, while the WikiLeaks founder was holed up in the Ecuador embassy.

Video of the event, shared by the official WikiLeaks Twitter account, reportedly shows Pompeo being served at the John Ashbrook Memorial Dinner in Ohio on October 29, IT Wire adds.

A longer video posted by the Assange Defense account on Twitter shows a man approach Pompeo, then reach to shake Pompeo’s hand with his right before quickly offering the lawsuit with his left. Pompeo appeared to smile briefly before offering the paperwork to a staffer. MORE

  1. This piece makes it sound like serving Pompeo with a document was some kind of super-duper stupendous secret squirrel accomplishment. He is a public figure who makes public appearances and holds pressers all the time. I’d be more impressed if this process server broke into Pompeo’s house, skirting all security measures, and served him while he was in his bathtub, adorned with mode candles and Barry White playing in the background.
