Former Obama official discloses rush to get intelligence on Trump team
Fox News ^ | 3/29/17 | Fox News

Posted on 03/29/2017 9:12:01 AM PDT by AT7Saluki

A former top Obama administration official has acknowledged efforts by her colleagues to gather intelligence on Trump team ties to Russia before Donald Trump took office and to conceal the sources of that intelligence from the incoming administration.

Evelyn Farkas, deputy assistant secretary of defense under Obama, made the disclosure while on the air with MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski.

“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.

The video clip should play well in front of a jury.

Dr. Evelyn Farkas has really stepped into the fray.

What is Farkas’ background and qualification for her former position at the Defense Dept?

You asked.....”What is Farkas’ background and qualification for her former position at the Defense Dept?”

Wikik begins saying....”Evelyn N. Farkas is the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia, as well as a spy for the known corrupt Obama administration”.....

As for before Obama’s appointment:

“Prior to assuming that position she served for four years on the faculty of the U.S. Marine Corps Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University ‘as assistant professor and then associate professor of international relations’.”

... She served in Bosnia for five months as a human rights officer for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) during 1996, and as an election supervisor in 1997.”

LOL, from the first line of her Wiki page.

Most of Obamas appoinments knew nothing about the positions they were given...most were directly affiliated with political campaigns as well as generating money for future elections...which simply continued throughout their time under Obama’s administration. Few ever served this nation...the focus of Obama and those associated with him were all about setting the stage ‘for elections’ above anything else via acquiring and retrieving information on political leaders, moving revenue via fake front organizations, and setting the demorats in place throughout the judges and courts throughout the US.

Debbie Waass also played a large role in that....frankly they had a very weak candidate to begin with and they knew it. So any measures were certainly used to present a picture which simply wasn’t there....now they’re choking on their own vomit!

"She served in Bosnia for five months as a human rights officer for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) during 1996, and as an election supervisor in 1997.”

This automatically sends up a red flag, she supervised rigged elections in Bosnia.

I read the page. I didn’t see “known corrupt Obama administration” anywhere.
