Judges in Spain have amazing leeway to do as they like.

That is the current governing coalition. Governments have alternated right-left since Franco.

But none of that has anything to do with this. This is a peculiarity of the Spanish judicial system. Something like the “Hawaiian Judge” problem in the US.

A number of reasons I don't like Pompeo.
Though he was in charge of the CIA which he did nothing to clean up the CIA. He left Gina Haspel in-charge which was clearly deep state.
Pompeo condemned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

yeah he has done some good things such as showing us medical labs in Wuhan set up by the US.

He was only at the CIA for 15 months? Clean it up in 15 mos?And he left because Trump appointed him SOS. Gina was next in line.

The job was meeting with Heads of States. He did a damn good job. No one complained. He was strong and USA was No. 1.

And he wasn't passing out reset buttons like that flake we had as SOS.

Pompeo wasn’t the only one who condemned Greene for speaking at a White Nationalist event. SHE was wrong...not Pompeo.

Why is a Spanish court even pursuing something like this-jonesing for a new Inquisition? The smartest thing my ancestors did was to leave Spain-came down from the Pyrenees and boarded a ship to the New World about 400 years ago. The Spanish government/crown was crazy and dangerous then-apparently their now-socialist government still is...

Nick Fuentes is America first. Pompeo is just as much a "white nationalist" as Fuentes as far as I know. As Pompeo is white and a Nationalist.

I've listened to Fuentes talk a couple times. He isn't interesting but he isn't a racists as the papers "imply" him as a "white nationalist." Putting those two words together sounds like a bad term or something?

Though if I believed what the papers say Trump would be a white nationalists. As Trump is white and a nationalists. IE: ultra MAGA

So the CIA, gone totally rogue in the Trump administration and completely unresponsive to Trump officials contemplates offing Assange and somehow that’s Trumps fault?

Makes about as much sense (as in none) as anything else these last 18 months...

A Spanish Court has been investigating this for several years. The Spanish Citizen whose Intel agency was recruited by the CIA also had ties to Sheldon Adelson, Trump’s big donor, and influencer.

Adelson’s representatives, even after his death, have attended the Assange hearings, and consulted during those hearings with the attorneys for our DOJ.

Hinkey as shit, IMHO.

Oops, forgot to point out since you are unfamiliar with the plot to off Assange, the CIA met the Spanish agent initially in Las Vegas. The Spanish agency was operating in Spain when the CIA met to cement the plan.

Assange was spied on 24/7 once the CIA contracted their Spanish proxy. Pompeo even ordered one of Assange’s child’s diapers stolen from the trash to test the child’s DNA. This was done, btw.

UC (UnderCover) Global and director David Morales handed all their intelligence on Assange to the CIA.
