Evelyn Farkas is a former Obama administration official who claimed she encouraged congressional staffers to gather as much intelligence on Trump-Russia collusion as they could because she “knew” it was out there and was worried that it would get covered up by the incoming Trump administration.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: You actually knew about this attempt to get and preserve information and, full transparency, were doing some work yourself. Tell us about that.
FARKAS: Well, 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, because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior people that left. So it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy.
That the Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew about their, the staff, the Trump staff’s dealing with Russians, that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence. So I became very worried, because not enough was coming out into the open, and I knew that there was more.
We have very good intelligence on Russia. So then I had talked to some of my former colleagues, and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill.
But Farkas, who served as the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia under Obama, didn’t “know there was more” intelligence—in fact, a couple of months after her appearance on MSNBC she admitted under oath that never saw any intelligence to that effect, according to the transcripts released on Thursday.
MR. GOWDY: Well, how would you know what the U.S. government knew at that point? You didn’t work for it, did you?
MS. FARKAS: I didn’t.
MR. GOWDY: Then how did you know?
MS. FARKAS: I didn’t know anything.
Under oath, she didn’t “know anything,” yet she went on national television to claim that incoming Trump officials would engage in a cover-up of intelligence that she quite definitively, said existed, even though it didn’t.

You should be locked up…you bitch…But then, again, you’re a fkn Democrat LIAR
Just goes to show how far these people will go to get rid of Trump, they ALL needed to be rounded up and put in Prison !
The simple, basis reply to your comment is — ABSOLUTELY! Give each a trial… and if found guilty — PRISON! (in a few cases… maybe even execution. HARSH… but General Geo. Washington would concur)
Under the prison.
Any of you other impeachment hoaxers want to come clean, also?
There was collusion. Trump family has made millions in Ukraine and in Russia.
Not nearly as much as the 2 Biden’s and Kerry’s, and Biden’s son is still raking it in from China !!
Don’t forget Pelosi sons in that same loop & it’s money laundering that’s going on for the most part but bc it’s gone on so many years & seemingly accepted. Nobody does shxt about it. I know one thing if Biden’s elected we’re all going to hell bc he’s being propped up to finish the Obama/Hillary 16 yr plan that ends in WW3. Take that to the bank!
A famous phrase that comes from democrats, “Any proof?”
Robert Mueller … the lawman of renown and unimpeachable integrity spent 2 years and $24m employing every dirty trick in the book to find the President guilty and failed. he entrapped everyone he could in sort of minor dirty politics everyone in the swamp considers as sport. yet you still publicly utter conclusions proved as baseless. you are a special kind of dimwit eh?
Mueller should be given a trial… and IF found guilty? EXECUTED. The higher the position of responsibility THE HARSHER THE PUNISHMENT. For all intents and purposes, MUELLER was promoting a full-scale revolution. There are, or SHOULD be, major, HARSH consequences for such TREASON and skullduggery. SAME for — SCHIFF, SCHUMER, NADLER, CICILLINE, RASKINS, DEUTCH, BLUMENTHAL, FEINSTEIN, SANDERS, SCHAKOWSKY, WASSERMAN, CARDIN, SHERMAN, ENGEL, SCHATZ, YARMUTH, WYDEN, SLOTKIN, LOWEY, FRANKEL, SCHRIER, ROSE, LOWENTHAL, PHILLIPS, ROSENSTEIN, WEISSMANN, HOROWITZ, BRENNAN AND COMEY. AND… any person(s) found to be FINANCIALLY UNDERWRITING their attempted CONCERTED, COUP CABAL
So what? He was a private citizen with a global business. I never understood the issue with that
You are an idiot! You keep electing Pelosi, Feinstein, Watters and Schiff and you say Trump is corrupt? I apologize to the idiots. You are a complete moron!
Bob, we don’t vote for these people! CA is controlled by voter fraud. We conservatives have no chance, our ballots have been found floating in boxes in the Pacific Ocean and the Mekong Delta!! I think at least half of CA is Trumper
s! I think if our votes were actually counted Trump would win CA. Yes, LA & SF are nut job demons, but the rest of the State is Trump Country!! Maybe Voter ID will finally help CA. It’s been going on for 40+ years!
Now you sound like Adam schiff
While a private citizen, if true, is that illegal or even noteworthy?
Business is business around the world. Nothing illegal with doing business anywhere. The US does it all the time. Do you really think no democrat presidents have invested in foreign businesses? Really?
That’s not collusion. That’s business. Go drink some more of your liberal kool aid and STFU.
We need truth CA, truth. All you have are your empty words. By any chance, do you work the Deep State? You liberals are so full of it, we can smell you coming from miles away.
Apparently she just ‘had a feeling….” and claimed it was factual. WHAT is WRONG with those people? They are supposed to be adults, but apparently they have never left their childish ‘thinking’ behind (if one can call it ‘thinking’.).
arrest these liars. you put innoncent in jail and the guilty walk free.
There clearly was collusion.
And the orders came from obama.
As we suspected 4 YEARS AGO.
It’s only a matter of time before more and more Obama ex-officials come forward to expose Obama’s lies, falsehoods, and fake information given to the public. He increased the national debt by more than 15 Trillion Dollars! More than all the presidents before him, put together. He cut budgets out of control. He weaponized the IRS against anyone and everyone who objected to his programs. It goes on and on. His legacy is that by far he was the worst president in the history of The United States of America. His people are going to flip on him to avoid bankruptcy and prison. Karma is a bitch. It’s no secret that indictments are on the way to him. I guess Michele will have to live alone in the $12,000,000.00 beachfront mansion they just purchased for cash on Martha’s Vineyard. Bye Bye Barack/Barry Obama/Sotero.
She must be howdy doodies sister.
BwaaaHaaa!! ????????. My diaphragm is killing me from laughing so hard! And I’m sure the Doody family is feeling really insulted right now!
Wow! Another Obama level Dimocrat. Lying thru your teeth is okay so long as you vote socialist. But, God help you if you are a Constitution loving patriot. These career and reputation wreckers need to be held responsible for the damage they have inflicted on honorable American with the harshest of punishment.
CNN pays big bucks for government liars! So does MSNBC! All you had to do is work for the Obama’s or Hillary and be able to make up the biggest lie you possibly could. And as you can see nobody will get sued for slander or pay any price at all. Lets hope Karma bites her on her lying ass!
I guess the rule for the democrats is “if there’s zero evidence, we will just have to make some fake BS up to distract the Public from the TRUTH! The truth is that while he seems diplomatic with Putin, Trump hates anything that detracts from our FREEDOM, unlike the democrats who want to CONTROL us from cradle to grave!
Fornicate all of the liberal snakes in Washington, lock her a$$ up, and send pelosi back to wherever she came from.
so if you THINK you know something but you really do NOT, and you are a bureaucrat, it is OK to spread disinformation, LIES and make stuff up because you have a feeling? is this what this story is about? if so, then, these bureaucrats and their elected handlers need to be tried for, at a minimum, of TREASON. They have done this to a President, just image what they are doing to Legal, Law Abiding Americans. eH lock N load is just not a saying!
When Obama’s lips were moving he was lying. Why should we believe any of his staff was different. I am completely discussed that we are paying him a pension for the reast of his life when he did absolutely nothing for 8 years to earn it. Lately he has proven that he can not even talk without a teleprompter spelling out what he needs to say.
On the same subject, where is Congressman Schiff’s documented proof of Trump collusion with Russia that has not yet been shown to anyone: and why did Mueller not subpoena it as part of his “complete and fair” investigation. Are those two helping president Trump cover up his malfeasance; or just lying to America?
There goes another stupid liberal. Just like a Democrat, whenever their lips are moving, they are lying. Are you able to give America proof of our great President Trumps malfeance, as you claim??? America is waiting!!!!
If you are a dimocrap and don’t know anything…..LIE!!!!!!…. You’ll be okay!!!!…..SMFH!!!!
Folks, take a few moments & consider what more positive impact(s) could’ve come about w/o President Trump & His Administration being sooo distracted in dealing w/manufactured BULLSHIT put forth by the Dims…
Mac???? KAG 2020 & beyond…
From what I’m reading, this woman should be charged with perjury. Where is Attorney General Barr?
Give him tima, he has just collected more ammo for his case against the deep state. I just see it coming. They all will turn against each other. It will be show time.
