Quote:BREAKING ? Former US secretary of state and ex-CIA head, Mike Pompeo, has been formally served with a lawsuit alleging he spied on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and visitors while he took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

Pompeo is accused of providing oversight for a criminal conspiracy to violate 4th Amendment rights of American lawyers and journalists inside the Ecuadorian embassy. The CIA, and UC Global/UC Global director David R. Morales Guillen, are also listed as defendants.

Man is just asking to get suicided

wow ... as I stated right out of the gate in the other thread ... that fk'r is already dead....

w/o p's and q's, or dotting I's and crossing T's ..... yep, you're pretty much fk'd....

Spying overseas is allowed, isn't it? Especially on someone who has been indicted?

I don’t believe you abandon your constitutional rights as a US citizen, the ones that you have against overreach by your own government, just because you cross a border. However, given that they freely violate those rights right here in the good old USA, I’m not surprised.

The patRIOT act opened Pandora's box. I don'tknow how to put that toothpaste back into the tube, but we'd better figure out a way.

What rights are they violating by following an indicted criminal with top secret documents who has evaded capture (regardless of what you feel about the indictment)?

And what constitutes spying? Watching? Or was it phone taps? Or simply microphones?

Unfortunately, it seems to have been abused and shouldn't be renewed next time.
