Fmr. FBI Asst. Director: Farkas Exposed ‘Conspiracy Cabal’ on Trump Surveillance By Obama..... Evelyn Farkas, Obama's former deputy assistant secretary of defense, said she urged her former colleagues to “preserve” the intelligence. Farkas' discussion with MSNBC host Mika Brezinski on March 2 focused on a New York Times story that appeared the day before under the headline, “Obama Administration Rushed to Preserve Intelligence of Russian Hacking.” “What Farkas said precisely tracks with what many of us have been saying: The Obama administration did abuse national security information.” ===========================================
REFERENCE---The NYT story quoted unnamed former Obama government officials who described efforts to “leave a clear trail of intelligence for government investigators.” The information included evidence passed along by U.S. allies of meetings between Russian officials and Trump’s associates, and communications — intercepted by American intelligence agencies.
