Former Obama Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Evelyn Farkas, made some stunning admissions during an interview with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski.
While discussing the mad scramble by the Obama administration to collect and preserve intelligence on alleged Russian election hacking before Obama left office, it appears that Farkas accidentally implicated the Obama White House in the surveillance of Trump's campaign staff:

"SMOKING GUN? Obama Defense Deputy Slips Up On Live TV - Reveals Spying On Trump Team And Leaking Of Intel"
I wasn’t sure about posting this article, because I thought it may just a rehash of what has already been out there.
But there seems to be some information that I haven’t seen.
“To sum up:
- The White House surveilled the Trump campaign and then leaked information to anti-Trump allies in congress (also known as “The Hill”).
- The Russian hacking claim hinges on a CrowdStrike Report from Dimitri Alperovitch.
- Alperovitch was forced to retract statements in a report blaming Russia for hacking Ukrainian military equipment - a failed attempt to smear Putin.
- Alperovitch, along with White House Leaker Evelyn Farkas and Ukrainian Oligarch Victor Pinchuk, are all senior fellows on the Atlantic Council - which is vehemently anti-Russia.”
Also, some other info on CrowdStrike that may be of interest.
Also in this article:
“(As an aside - Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, sits on the board of a Ukrainian gas company reportedly owned by Pinchuk)”
Yes.

Farkas’ comments are almost a month old. Why people think this is a smoking gun that we lead to anything is beyond me.
The silver lining is that there are operatives who are that stupid.
Sean Hannity is all over this. It is not old stuff, but new. On tape. In public. Felonious perhaps. He’s suggesting Farkas get lawyered up.
This is a bombshell . It was on Msnbc Morning JOKE on March the 2nd but nobody watches. I have studied what she said carefully and it is my opinion that this is a smoking gun and she better lawyer up if we can get Sessions into action. here is her exact words as reported herehttp://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2017/03/29/did-former-obama-aide-evelyn-farkas-just-admit-that-trumps-staff-was-spied-on/ :
I was urging my former colleagues, and frankly speaking the people on the Hill, it was more actually 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, Farkas, who is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, said.
Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] 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 Trump staff dealing with Russians that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.
“IF THEY FOUND OUT HOW WE KNEW”?? WOOOOOOOOOW!! KABOOM!! this is a feloney and the wiretappinf was given to the New YORK TIMES!! another felony!!
Yes, she was stupid but let’s remember at the time this interview was made she was not the only one. It was only two days later when President Trump fired away his tweets that the liberals started to understand what they were doing. That’s also why this revelation is important despite being a month old. See this post in a previous thread:
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3538926/posts?page=129#129
I’m sure McTraitor and Linda will be all over this.
It is exploding because she admits illegal gathering and dissemination of wiretaps of Trump and his transition team for obvious political gain IMO — that is a felony. Rather serious criminal admission? No where to hide now. That’s why.
Who cares how old they are.
She admitted to everything.
Ha. Ya think?
We could have video of Obama holding a literal smoking AK-47 after he killed Seth Rich and the Ministry of Propaganda would still be trying to say “Russia did it”.
In the end she says “that is why we have the leaking”.
Old news or not thank you for posting this story. Not everyone knows about it. IMHO this is a very damning video coming from an Obama administration official.
You point to an interesting fact. When Farkas says this, she doesn’t realize that two days later Trump would blow the lid on the obama wiretapping FACT. Of course, there never wa a Russian connection anyway. That was all contrived to “justify” wiretapping the campaign and transition. It is the same panic that drove the bengahazi video lie to cover up their absolute failure to protect American interests and lives there. They never dreamed that the [people would rise up and defeat criminal hillary and when it happened ,they totally panicked and came up with this ludicrous nonsense about Russian which has fallen flat. They must be embarrassed.
Watergate was reported BEFORE the election on Nixon by a huge landslide.
Nobody reported this because Morning Joke has no viewers.
The definition of a “gaffe” is when a liberal accidentally speaks the truth. Methinks that truth was spoken, thus the gaffe.
I am glad it was Mika doing the interview. She is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. She just lets this babe go on and on which is good for us and the truth.
The trouble with us Republicans, as shown in this thread is the following. THIS IS A SMOKING GUN. Whatever may constitute a smoking gun is always subjective. Why phrase this as a question or qualification?!? It’s ridiculous. Do you think the Dems would question a Republican idiot saying yeah we met with Russians before the election but we buried the story because it was improper? Do you think they’d question that? Hell no. There’s be 50 of them in a concerted effort screaming it from every rooftop as a God Given fact. We should do the same.
