Too late to walk this one back, Evelyn Farkas
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/02/17 | Judi McLeod

As a 20-year-long government tenure, and a deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia in the Obama White House until 2015 would know that there are some things that just can't be walked back

Now we know why former Obama official and Hillary Clinton rat pack campaign enthusiast Evelyn Farkas went so far out of her way to out herself on her March 2nd MSNBC appearance:

It was to advance the progressive left’s smear du jour on which they are losing ground: The Russians swiped election victory out of the desperate White House or Bust Hillary Clinton.

I bet her lawyers try to claim some sort of "retroactive fifth-amendment protection" for her.

Some sort of "innovative new doctrine" that says something like her statements on MSNBC cannot be used against her in court because no one at MSNBC read her her Miranda rights before she did her interview, or something like that.

The Deep State, under Obama, surveilled American citizens, and the Trump Team. Obama wanted the information they had gathered to be as widely disseminated as possible.

In retrospect, I'm sure Obama, and the Dumbocrats, rue the day Evelyn Farkas got on MSNBC.

The Dumbocrats sorely needed someone to dig them out of Hillary-induced oblivion.....to make a strong case for them.......to suggest that “The Russians Made Us Do It” narrative was legit.

But it seems odd that this Farkas person no one ever heard of, was selected to appear on-air.

Who gave the go-ahead for Farkas? She, herself, didn't decide to "help out" by going on TV. Doesn't work that way.

So, is Obama still calling the shots? Maybe Hillary thought it was a good idea (smirk)?

Maybe Evelyn needed a perk to pump-up her resume?

An entire thesis could be written on how "Evelyn Faced Life" on MSNBC and brought utter infamy onto the heads of Obama and the Dumbocrats.

That interview was simply breathtaking. That one will go down in history.

I listened to her interview played multiple times. Then, a few days ago she pulls out the typical progressive defense. “My words were taken wildly out of context and edited falsely.” Just like the planned parenthood scandals and all the Project Veritas stings.

Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?

What she did is no worse than videotaping Planned Parenthood officials conspiring to sell baby parts.

Of course, California charged the people who did that with no less than 15 felonies...

You can tell how much trouble an individual is causing for the MSM-Democrats by how long it takes them to settle on a response and begin rolling out that response across the MSM.

In this case, I'm not aware that they've come up with a response to Farkas even now, what? A month after she made her appearance, and five days after it broke out into the public via alternative media?

So far as I'm aware, no one in the MSM has seen fit to say "boo" about this astounding set of admissions.

I wonder what they'll do?

About all they can do is declare her mentally ill, and convince her to check herself in to a substance-abuse clinic, or some such.

I thought maybe Evelyn Farkas was trying out for a job as commentator on MSNBC.

Hillary lost, Evelyn needed a job, she had good stories to tell.

Evelyn Farkas should soon receive and indictment.

It will take a while, Attorney General Sessions is very thorough. If she is smart she will turn as a federal witness of evidence.

Not only is this about the Espionage Act, but the interstate wiring of the illegally obtained information violates the RICO statute. Racketeering is against the law.Big penalties in RICO, as well as forfeiture laws.

Excellent point.....the Dumbos have been struck speechless by Evelyn’s revelations.

Especially b/c she’s SUPPOSED to bail them out.

ROTFLOL.

Both the NYT and Slate have given responses to Farkas' comments.

In both cases, the responses consist of detailed dissections of the characterizations of Farkas' comments by conservative media and the Trump administration, and do not address or attempt to handle the substance of the information she gave.

In both cases, they give rather lame explanations of how her comments have been "taken out of context," the ancient trope that is rolled out every time a left-winger utterly paints themselves into a corner.

I was watching Morning Schmoe a few days after this blew up about Farkas.

Even though it happened on their show, they mentioned it only in passing, for less than 10 seconds. Then nothing since. I think the MSM is trying to stuff her down the memory hole.

Yes, exactly. They're trying the Big Ignore.

If our side succeeds in breaking though with it, they'll focus on us for bringing it forward.
