She didn't say that; whoever uploaded the video gave it that title and added the quotes, apparently to paraphrase what she said more dramatically. Ray76 supplied a transcript of what she actually said in Post 39--I have bolded a key quote:

"EVELYN FARKAS: Well I was I was urging my former colleagues and and frankly speaking to people on the hill It was more actually aimed aimed at telling the hill people get as much information as you can get as much intelligence as you can before President Obama leaves the administration because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior people who left So it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy. That the Trump folks if they found out how we knew what we knew about their the staff the Trump staff dealing with Russians that they would try to compromise those sources and methods meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence. So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia. So then I had talked to someone like former colleagues and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the hill. MSNBC MIKE BRZEZINSKI: A lot going on today EVELYN FARKAS: yeah MSNBC MIKE BRZEZINSKI: mark EVELYN FARKAS: That's why you have the leaking "

If only I could believe SOMETHING could come from this. Here’s hoping.

This woman has a PHD. But her bio does not state what her field of expertise is. What was her major?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Farkas

Maybe she just talked too much. She obviously feels very strongly she is on some mission to get some kind of truth out in the open.

But, what evidence of collusion is there?

[The_Media_never_lie]

"That if the Trump folks found out how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff dealing with Russians, they would try and compromise those sources and methods, meaning, we would no longer have access to that intelligence. I became very worried because not enough was coming out in the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia. Then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew they were also trying to help get information to the Hill. That’s why you have the leaking. People are worried."

There is one problem: Leaking is a felony. There is no legal basis for leaking to damage your political opponent, for any reason. It is simply beyond their pay grade.

This appears to be a rationalization for criminal activity.

2 March - that’s three days before DJT’s famous tweets. Explains why she was saying what she did. Before the tweets it was all about the Russia connection. After the tweets it was all about never ever any illegal surveillance.

[dp0622]

Yeah it’s headlining all the top news on google /s

Nobody gets excited or looks into this stuff besides us, Treehouse, Breitbart and a few others

It’s great to know what’s going on and hope congress actually or the justice dept actually opens up investigations.

Many here have been sure the Clinton are going to prion since the mid ‘90s.

Come on man.

With all the other incriminating evidence the GOP Congress has been handed and did not a damn thing with..............

I have zero hope that one thing will come from this. You know the treasonous media will ignore it.

Since obastard first ran for US Senate and was exposed supporting partial birth abortion—beyond NARAL and Planned Parenthood—many of us knew he was truly evil.

Thankfully demoncrats like Evelyn Farkas ovomit and the dreaded hildabeast are not as smart as they are evil.

President Trump, in order to Make America Great Again we must Make Government Constitutional Again! MGCA 2 MAGA!

This is why the dems are becoming unhinged and asking the people that bring out the info to resign or be investigated themselves. The MSM could really up their ratings about right now if they would start reporting on this and STOP protecting the dems and Obama. They may become repsected again. FOX needs to report it too. They need a little help.

that they would try to compromise those sources and methods meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence.

That, my friends is criminal intent. She knew that there was a duty to protect sources and methods and yet she leaked anyway, deliberately.

[AndyJackson]

This appears to be a rationalization for criminal activity.

As I just saying, this proves criminal intent. She indicates a duty to protect sources and methods, but she leaked anyway, which is enough, but it is clear that it was done for political gain.

Yes it is. She comes across like, "It's okay if we do it. . We were doing it because of the awful Russians. . and BTW, we just happened to get "Trump staff dealing with the Russians" as a sidebar. Oh really.

Well Dr. Farkas, how did you get the information on "Trump staff dealing with the Russians?" Can you please explain that to us, under oath? And do you know any of the leakers? Were you one of the leakers? Could you kindly tell us who else was trying to get information to the Hill?

Would love to see Trey Gowdy question her. .

Found this: The Leakers Who Exposed Gen. Flynn’s Lie Committed Serious — and Wholly Justified — Felonies Find the leakers!

[IDontLikeToPayTaxes]

HA Ha Thanks! I have no idea how much, I know that it’s too much now.

[Fedora]

Good catch. Trump's original tweet on the subject was actually March 4, but your point about the timeframe is right: Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! 3:35 AM - 4 Mar 2017

The MSM seems to have a couple anti-Trump themes they cycle through periodically depending on what's going on: David Duke/racism, Russia, Trump's taxes, etc. Their main lines of attack were all outlined in the opposition research file that Wikileaks released.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Please help me here: I have not seen any evidence of collusion between the Trump officials and the Russians, in spite of all the criminal leaking.

On Fox news tonight, Brit Hume said there was scant evidence, where scant can be taken to be meager. But is there any, other than imputed circumstantial evidence, such as some Russian computer with Trump corporate computer?

There is NO evidence, right?

[The_Media_never_lie]

By collusion, I mean Trump officials promising payoffs for Russia in exchange for hacking the election in Trump’s favor.

I cannot believe how silly this sounds, as if the Russians actually could do this.

[Art in Idaho]

Should Dr. Evelyn Farkas be charged with espionage? Oh my.

Sounds like her mouth got her in trouble before.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Mika’s middle name is “ignorance” so that is why she ignored this revelation.

[Art in Idaho]

As far as I know, there is NO evidence. The 'Russian Cover' story was set up to give them plausible denial when they were discovered to be doing just straight on, no holes barred, complete surveillance of Trump, his inner circle and his family.

My gut tells me it started before Trump came down the escalator in June, 2015. No excuses needed and then someone said, "Let's have the CIA set it up, get with Clapper and Brennan and make it look like were looking for Russian stuff, or better yet, like the Russians are doing it."

I'm sure Hillary asked Obama to do everything he could to get the goods on Trump, you know, his smoking gun like the MI6 guys story, the big whopper for the media right before the election. My bet is half of D.C. was looking for something on Trump being true believers. I betcha' Hillary saw all this surveillance too. In fact, did it go to her first? What a cesspool.

Fire em' all, let God sort em' out. Drain the Swamp!
