Obama Aide Comes Clean: “We Spied on
Trump and Hid the Evidence!”, 3/31/17, GOP Presidential
Obama’s
former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Evelyn Farkas, made a bombshell
admission on MSNBC: the Obama Administration was spying on Donald Trump. Farkas
was commenting on the ongoing investigation between Donald Trump and his ties
to Russia, but wound up accidentally confirming Trump’s startling accusation
that the Obama White House had set up surveillance on him.
“I
was urging my former colleagues and the people on the Hill to get as much
information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before President
Obama leaves the administration,” said Farkas, in an interview with MSNBC’s
Mika Brzezinski. “Because I had a fear I had a fear that somehow that
information would disappear with the senior Obama people who left. So it would
be hidden away in the bureaucracy.”
Farkas
explained that, after the Obama Administration had received intelligence that
Trump’s team might be talking to Russia, she urged her friends in the White
House to leak as much intelligence as possible—because, once Trump was
inaugurated, it would be far harder to link him and his associates to Russia.
Leaking classified documents is a federal crime.
But
then, Farkas accidentally dropped an even bigger bombshell. She admitted that she
was also afraid that the incoming Trump Administration, once they took charge
of the executive branch, would figure out that the Obama Administration was
spying on them—and they took efforts to cover their tracks.
She
added: “If Trump’s staff found out how we knew what we knew about their dealing
with Russians, that they would try to compromise those sources and methods,
meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence. So I became very worried
because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew there was more…”
Trump
attracted huge controversy for his assertion earlier this month that Obama had
wiretapped his campaign team during the 2016 presidential election. While
“wiretapping” may not be the right word, more and more evidence continues to
come out that Obama and his staff had, in fact, been surveilling Trump’s
campaign.
A
congressional investigation into the illegal surveillance is ongoing. It’s
unclear whether or not they’ve contacted Farkas about her role.
