Obama Defense Official Evelyn Farkas Admitted She Lied On MSNBC About Having Evidence Of Collusion
The Federalist ^ | May 8, 2020 | by Sean Davis

Posted on 05/08/2020 6:41:53 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Former Obama administration defense official Evelyn Farkas testified under oath that she lied during an MSNBC interview when she claimed to have evidence of alleged collusion, a newly declassified congressional transcript of her testimony shows. Farkas testified before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on June 26, 2017.

Lawmakers keyed in on an appearance Farkas made on MSNBC on March 2, 2017, in which she urged intelligence community bureaucrats to disseminate within the government and potentially even leak to media any incriminating information they had about Trump or his aides.

“I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama administration] people who left…[that] it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy,” Farkas said.

Farkas, who served in the Obama administration as the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia from 2012 through 2015, also claimed that administration officials appointed by Trump might even destroy evidence of alleged collusion if they “found out how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff’s dealing with Russians.”

They might “try to compromise those sources and methods,” Farkas alleged in the MSNBC interview. “And we would no longer have access to that intelligence.”

“Not enough was coming out into the open and I knew there was more,” Farkas claimed.

If the GOP had not cooperated with the usurpation, we might even be able to prosecute a few of these miscreants.

“Not one hint of scandal...”

Think Ms. Farkas is wondering about lawsuits?

Seems like sedition.

She didn't know anything. She wasn't working for them. She wasn't involved. But she went on TV and encouraged active government employees to work against the incoming administration. Just because she didn't vote for Trump.

I call that sedition.

Paul Ryan comes to mind, he ran for the hills believing the Democrat lies. Talk about Schiff for Brains, Ryan is an idiot.

One of Hillary’s feminazi @itches who actively fought against democracy because they refuse to except the outcome of the election they lost.

Well. I give her credit for not lying under oath but she really feeds into Trump’s “fake news”.

Obama: ‘Not even a smidgen of corruption’ or ‘Not even a smidgen of scandal’ attached to his admin.

Yes, but you'd better not mention the 'n' word (signifying loop you make with the rope).

How true. The GOP is simply pathetic. It is a soulless party devoid of any convictions or any willingness to fight.
