It’s closing in on Obama.
Obama Defense Official Evelyn Farkas Admitted She Lied On MSNBC About Having Evidence Of Collusion
‘I didn’t know anything.’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, as part of the committee’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election between Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
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.

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.
But Farkas sang a different tone 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.
Farkas, a Democrat, is currently running for Congress in New York’s 17th district.

The Democrats are trying to murder the USA. That’s not an exaggeration, it’s a fact. Obama set the stage and Hillary was supposed to take us down. They’ve been trying to undermine/unseat President Trump since he took office. If they take the WH they will use us to murder much of the globe, and they’ll murder us in the process. If you don’t believe that yet, you will.

What’s sickening about all of this. All of our Congress and Senate knew the truth…and yet for three years the farce continued.
You have senators like Graham who could have opened this wide open years ago but did not. Instead he keeps going on talk shows yapping about fake outrage while doing nothing to stop it.
It’s all been political theater.
Now…after this fraud we will have to wait another three years for the Ukraine impeachment fraud to be exposed.

Yup! The swamp knows to stick together. Neither party likes the TRUMP disruption. There are a few exceptions but only a handful.

Graham is a blowhard who talks a tough hard line story but does nothing. Remember who his best butt buddy friend was, John “ the traitor” McCain!

Yepper. Tucker was a few days late but at least he gets it. The republicans allowed this sham to go on. They must be held accountable too. Nothing would give me more satisfaction than to see Paul Ryan and his ilk be standing next to Ovomit when all this goes down.

And from another conservative site.
Crowdstrike admitted they had zero actual information if Russia hacked the DNC.
Once again…our government KNEW this yet based everything ON this. While Seth Rich was killed in a mugging with nothing taken.
Even the complicit do nothing GOP Paul Ryan types need to be eradicated.

No. No WikiLeaks’ representative ever disclosed their source.
Much conjecture from sources, outside of WikiLeaks, but nothing from that source.

That photo of Obama with a fly on his face reminds me of a fly on a turd.

Being caught in a lie, deceiving the public and not being embarrassed by it or having a conscience is a prerequisite for being a democrat politician. She’ll do well in the race for New York Congress.

She will win her election without opposition.
She’s a Democrat in New York, so will win, and then when she’s in Congress, will be able to lie without repercussions.

For effect, Gowdy could have asked, “Were you lying then or are you lying now?”
But being the veteran undefeated former prosecutor that he is, he performed admirably.

In reality, Ms.Farcus passed the Commiecrat test for reliability and earned their full support. Like the Muslims the Commiecrats approve of deception ,lies and treachery when confronting anyone designated as an “unbeliever”:in the Marxist Hell they have planned for us.

Unreal. It is finally exposed. Farkas and the Marxist traitors of the Obama admin. knew nothing about Russian collusion with Trump and his people at all. They decided in their own wicked hearts what they wanted things to be. Then they went about bankrupting and imprisoning Trump’s people, spent tens of millions of dollars, and kept the country in knots to prosecute an illusion.
I want these a..holes in prison and forever kept from any government position. Some of them, especially mastermind Obama, should receive the punishment for treason.

Well, lying on the news channels about Trump certainly isn’t a disqualifier when running for political office, it may help her get elected. What a sad state of affairs.

One of the similarities if not parallels between dedicated Marxists and Islam is the complete acceptance and applause for proselytes of their cult that uses lies, deception, deceit against anyone they perceive to be an “unbeliever.” Ms.Farkas has passed the litmus test and is likely to advance quickly in the Commiecrat march to their Marxist Paradise, which is another similarity they share with Islam.

What a laugh! Donald Trumps gets it spot on: “They are scum”, treacherous liars. He gets top marks for blunt honesty and candor. And the leading bit of scum is Barack Obama and his crew of liars and deceivers, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, and the liberal media including the vile, foul-mouthed, totally unrefined Chris Quomo. FBI director, Chris Wray is a total nothing, a tool of Comey and the rest of trash crew. He just has to get the boot or he’ll continue dragging down the already horribly discredited FBI.
Another laugh is Pamela pulling up this photo of Obama with a fly doing a turd on a piece of manure.

Every democrat/socialist politician and every leftist newspaper, magazine, t.v. station and radio have done nothing but lie when it came to reporting on or commenting on President Trump.

She is likely at this minute being scheduled for another MSNBC inview. If she doesn’t win in her election in New York, then she will likely get a media spot, perhaps job at MSNBC.
