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.

A potential fall-guy?

I don't know the Alinskey name, but a tactic is to blame your enemy of doing what you have done.

Clinton had the "reset button" and the uranium sale with Russia.

Claiming some murky deal by Trump, is to throw attention away from murky democrat connections.

Are the "Russians" great guys? No. But GOP Presidents for over 45 years have maintained personal contacts with them. Nixon/Kissinger; Reagan/Gorby etc.
