Obama officials pressured by Farkas for months to spill beans on Trump-Russia ties

Even before her now-famous MSNBC comments explaining why "you have the leaking" on alleged ties between Trump officials and Russia, former defense official Evelyn Farkas had undertaken a media campaign to pressure her old colleagues in the Obama administration -- even Barack Obama himself -- to disclose what they knew.

Farkas, who left the administration in 2015 after serving as a deputy assistant secretary of defense, raised eyebrows in the March 2 interview on MSNBC when she said there had been a rush to share information before President Trump took office.

“I was urging my former colleagues, and frankly speaking, the people on the Hill … ‘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,” she said.

“That’s why you have the leaking, because people were worried,” she added

What exactly are the Trump/Russia ties?

If criminal activity had taken place, it would have already leaked.

There is no Trump-Russia ties other than normal communication
between two countries.

I love the way she so helpfully added the explantion "so that was why you have the leaking!"

Oh, yes of course. Now it all makes sense. There had to be leaks of classified material, obviously, because Donald Trump had won and Hillary had lost. Who wouldn't understand that? Certainly no one Evelyn Farkas knows.

Hard to spill anything when there aren’t any beans to find.

Its beginning to look like this Russian interference / hacking story was more fiction from Bennie Rhodes for the media flacks to use as a cover story while they tried to sink the U.S.S. Trump.

Not to mention that our intelligence agencies methods and techniques were exposed and we are about to learn a lot more about it.

As bad as Snowden or Bradley Manning? A possibility.

And it was our own president and his gang that did it! A nice little going away present from Obama and team.

Look if she knows something..why is she not saying what she knows?.. why she telling other people to say what they know?..

Because it sounds like she doesn’t know she just thinks other people know something...

Look lady if you know something you would tell it... so it sounds like you just implying there something .. but you actually you actually don’t know

.. The House or the Senate should put her on her under oath an interviewer her

The other piece is Obama extending EO 12333 to allow ALL the intelligence people to share. That’s the smoking gun.

She still has no clue that she was used to spread fake news throughout the press....it was part of the scam to disrupt the new Trump administration. There is no Russian story.

I don’t understand all the near-certainty held by those outside the Intel chain.

Either:
* they’ve had their hopes raised sky high by all those tyrants, or
* they know the plan for manufactured “collusion” waiting for a concession to Russia to occur, then they try to spring their big treason trap.

No one understands that, and it doesn't mean anything to anyone other than right-wing patriots like us.

The average Big-Gulp American has no idea what you're talking about if you bring that up, and if you're expecting the MSM-Democrats to explain it to them, I hope you're not holding your breath.

The only SOBs I'm aware of who have been collaborating with Russia and KGB Putin are the democrats. From Obama delivering on his promised “flexibility” on missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin loves so much, to Hillary-Podesta turning over 20% of our uranium production to the Russians via the scandalous Uranium One deal. All this while the Dems slashed OUR military, at a time when Russia and China have been flexing their muscles threatening their neighbors.
