SPECIAL REPORT: With Trump officially #impeached, a reminder that over two years ago, Julian #Assange warned that the intelligence community and @HillaryClinton were planning a "Pence takeover." @_whitneywebb mintpressnews.com/julian-assange…

@HillaryClinton @_whitneywebb Back in March 2017, #Assange claimed that two intelligence officials close to @VP “stated privately this month that they are planning on a Pence takeover.” However, as Assange noted, they did not say if Pence was aware of the plan or if he had agreed to it.

Another tweet from #Assange asserted that @HillaryClinton “stated privately this month that she is quietly pushing for a Pence takeover”

As @MintPressNews has noted, a major cornerstone of Trump’s negotiation strategy and politicking is his unpredictability – a clear point of concern among U.S. establishment insiders. mintpressnews.com/from-taiwan-ca…

And Pence’s attractiveness to the intelligence community probably stems from his support for expanded war efforts; he's been called “a hawk’s hawk.” Pence voiced support for Iraq war, increased defense spending and greater US intervention in Middle Eastern countries like #Syria.
