Evelyn Farkas is back in the news today, and boy, isn’t that just so great?
You may remember this raving nutjob from way back in March, 2017, when she made an appearance on MSNBC which became big news for a very brief period of time. I knew I had written about this sleazy Obama operative then, so I went and looked it up.
VDO.AI Here you go:
But was her son, Scut, involved? What about his toady, Grover Dill?: Speaking of stories you can’t find, a former Obama official named Evelyn Farkas told Mika Brzezenzski (or however you spell that name) on MSNBC early in March that she and many other Obama officials had indeed participated in an organized effort to circulate raw surveillance intelligence involving members of the Trump Transition Team, and had gladly shared the intel with members of the fake news media, unmasking some American citizens in the process. She told this all to MSNBC gladly, and in a manner that made it obvious she is in fact proud of her actions. She apparently did not understand that, in the process of that interview, she was potentially admitting to the commission of multiple felonies by herself, other Obama officials and members of the fake news media. Thus, the fake news media has been jointly sitting on this story hoping it would just fade away. Trouble is, the story has been getting a ton of attention in the realm of talk radio this week, so suddenly Ms. Farkas felt the need to go back on cable TV on Thursday to deny everything she had told Mika. And her friends in the fake news media will nod their heads and move on. Nothing to see here, all is well.
Yeah, remember her now? Is it all coming back to you?
Well, guess what? That little episide landed her in front of the House Intelligence Committee, which was run by honest Republicans at the time, for behind-closed-doors testimony. As it happens, despicable Democrat Adam Schiff had been sitting on the transcript of her testimony until yesterday, when DNI Ric Grenell forced ol’ Bug Eyes to release it and 52 others to the public.
Not surprisingly, when forced to discuss her MSNBC appearance, this amoral, ethics-devoid Obama loyalist (aren’t they all amoral and devoid of ethics, after all?), when faced with potential perjury charges, essentially admitted everything she had said in her first TV appearance was in fact a politically-motivated lie. Which no doubt appalled Mr. Schiff.
As reported by Sean Davis at The Federalist, her is the key excerpt from her transcript:
But Farkas sang a different tune under oath when questioned by lawmakers about what she actually “knew” about collusion.
“Why don’t we go back to that sentence that I just asked you about. It says ‘the Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about their staff dealing with Russians,” Gowdy said. “Well, how would you know what the U.S. government knew at that point? You didn’t work for it, did you?”
“I didn’t,” said Farkas, a former mid-level Russia analyst who left the federal government in 2015.
“Then how did you know?” Gowdy responded.
“I didn’t know anything,” Farkas said.
“Did you have information connecting the Trump campaign to the hack of the DNC?” Gowdy asked.
“No,” Farkas admitted.
“So when you say, ‘We knew,’ the reality is you knew nothing,” Gowdy asked later during the deposition.
“Correct,” Farkas responded.
Gowdy didn’t stop there.
“So when you say ‘knew,’ what you really meant was felt?” he asked.
“Correct,” Farkas answered.
“You didn’t know anything?” Gowdy continued.
“That’s correct,” Farkas responded.
[End]
Ouch.
Oh, but here is the best part: This sleazy, amoral, ethics-devoid political operative for America’s Worst Mistake, Barack Hussein Obama His Own Self, is now of course the Democrat Party’s nominee to become the congressional representative for New York’s 17th district.
You could never, never, never, ever make this stuff up, folks. Not in a billion, octillion years.
That is all.
Yes.
The fact that she felt comfortable talking about the coup attempt right after Trump took office tells us that at that time she was 100% confident that her side would win and Trump would be removed from office.
The fact that he is still there must freak her out.
The district numbers don’t tell the history of a seat necessarily. They’re often renumbered every decade. NY once had 45 Congressional districts, but has lost seats in every census since 1953, now down to 27 seats, and probably to 25 in 2023. They used to be small and compact seats, but have had to be augmented because of the losses.
Nadler has never represented Westchester, only a chunk of NYC (presently the West Side of Manhattan and a chunk of Brooklyn). His seat is presently the 10th (2013-, it was the 8th from 1993-2013, it was the 17th from 1983-93 (when he was first elected in 1992). The original “heart” of the district, its ancestral section (which was between 86th-125th Streets in Manhattan’s Upper West Side) has not elected a Republican since the 1920 GOP landslide when Walter Chandler represented it (then the 19th). When Chandler lost in 1922, the GOP has never won it back. Other parts of the present district have had GOP members, but the basic core of the seat has been uninterrupted Dem for 97 years.
The Westchester District (now including Rockland County) when it was the 20th in the 1980s, briefly had a Conservative Republican when the seat was more GOP-leaning (Joe DioGuardi) from 1985-89, but when the suburbs started trending moonbat, Nita Lowey defeated DioGuardi in 1988 and has held it with little problem since (aside from an underwhelming 56-44% margin in 2014, the last time a Republican bothered to run).
She had to check her phone every few minutes to find out which lie she had to tell and when.
AHAHAHHAHAHA....I was hoping someone would notice!
FYI
12 DEMS are running for this seat. Farkas won’t win.
Farkas has the most amount of money so far. That’s almost tantamount to winning Congressional races.

Lying about Trump would be a selling point to leftards. “Vote for me. Yup. I smeared the living sh!t out of Orange Man Bad. Goebbels himself would be proud of such a bald-faced smear, but I had to do it, because he’s as bad as Hitler.”
The Rockland side of what’s now NY17 was, until 2006 part of Ben Gilman’s district, since then it’s been hopelessly Dem. You really can’t go home again. My old stomping grounds really went down the tubes
