UPDATE: President Obama’s Own Defense Deputy Admits Obama White House Spied on Candidate/President-Elect Trump…

This is stunningly interesting and hopefully will be picked up by MSM and congressional investigators.
Sometimes when a person is deep inside an echo-chamber of like-minded ideologues, they might not realize what they’re saying is rather revealing to those on the outside. That’s the set up for former Obama administration official Evelyn Farkas (Deputy Asst. Secretary of Defense) appearing on MSNBC and admitting first hand knowledge the Obama administration spied on candidate and president-elect Donald Trump’s transition team to gather “intelligence” for political use.
It would appear Ms. Farkas was so caught up in the discussion, she didn’t quite realize the significant admissions she was making about the Obama administration spying on Donald Trump’s team and generating classified intelligence for Ms. Farkas (and others) to spread to Capitol Hill politicians. MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski recognized the ‘oh-snap’ admission and tried to play it off,… but by then it was too late.

I predict very little interest in this topic, since it is not anti-Trump.

Well, I'm interested, since it's in effect, anti-democrat ( which is more important to me ).

Commenting by the obsessed shouldn't be the measure of interest.

Well, unfortunately it's from the unreliable Treehouse, so it won't get much play, but I watched the clip the woman said they did what the 0bama administration has been accused of doing.

I've never had any doubt that the Obama administration did everything possible to undermine Trump including spying of every sort.

I actually tried to read the article, but the website is so full of crap that my computer ground to a halt. Perhaps they've got a point -- I'm not going to fight with them to find out what it is.

Here's the thing with the "unreliable" TreeHouse --- THEY SHOWED THE VIDEO. Unless they edited it, it's as reliable as they come.

I agree. I was only commenting on their desire that it would have wider play.

Here's the video sans the quirky website.

I usually print troublesome website pages to .pdf and read the article as a document. Much easier that way.

The "wider" reporting I am hearing is full of inanity and non sequitur and I can barely endure listening to it.

From that...
"Consider the above in the context of the raid in Yemen on January 29, 2017 when a U.S. Navy Seal was killed. Just four days later, the Awan brothers were banned from the premises of the U.S. Capitol. A coincidence? I think not. According to my DC source, it was not a coincidence."
Banned but not detained?

I have a source currently working outside the country who clams up entirely when I broach the subject. Something REALLY big at the root of this but I doubt seriously that you or I ever find out what it is.

I think this counts as evidence!

I heard one of our former military officers say the other day that he had warned the Trump administration to treat the fed gov as a crime scene after taking over from Obama. He appears to have been very right!

Hannity talking about this now on his radio show..
-
Gee, Trump vindicated AGAIN, and #nevertrump wrong again....

I have no sources, but there's a lot of smoke to be no fire.

I second the sentiment.

Source is MSNBC. 'The leaks' were specifically mentioned at the end.

As myst said above, Hannity is pounding this hard and I seldom pay him any mind.

ewwwww!!! Nasty.

Discernment is our friend. Separate the message from the medium. Farkas took the newsbabe on a ride she was not expecting.

Few but those already in his amen chorus will hear him.

But I was talking about the limited reach of Mr. Hannity's radio show. Hannity ranting on anything doesn't convince anybody new.

Lighten up francis!
I think it's great! The more liars we can eliminate from the Government, the better!
Take 'em out by the dozen!
Loose lips, and all that!

But the attention being now given to her statements makes it more likely that she becomes a part of the investigations.
edit: Looking back at the timeline on the story, as I learned of it:
3/27 - msnbc interview.
3/28 - CTH picks it up
3/29 - I picked it up from Pam Gellar tweet. She said she had only seen it reported on CTH. Later yesterday, both Hannity and Levin devoted a lot of time.
3/30 - Let us see what today brings.
It is quite a plume of smoke.

I'm seeing plenty of interest in the story all across conservative media. But let the chip shouldered Trump zealots demonstrate their foolishness.

What is a "chip shouldered Trump zealot"? I need to figure out if I am one.

Just the people who keep complaining about #nevertrump, to spite the fact there are truthfully only half a dozen or so TBRs that are in that category.
I've never seen you complain about one side or the other, and you are far to thoughtful to ever be zealot of any kind.

Updates – Who Is Evelyn Farkas and Why Did She Spill The Beans on Obama’s Secret Surveillance Operation?…
Posted on March 29, 2017 by sundance
Well, put this in the ‘going-back-to-timelines-sometimes-pays-dividends’ column.
For the past 72 hours we have been assembling the Obama Surveillance Story timeline from October 1st 2016 through March 22nd 2017. [The project is ongoing]
As a result, last night (Tuesday) we highlighted a March 2nd, 2017 revelation of Obama’s former Deputy of Defense Evelyn Farkas appearance on MSNBC that no-one was paying attention to. –SEE HERE– Thanks to social and non-traditional media, today (Wednesday) Ms. Farkas has finally caught the attention of MSM and DC politicians.

You are too kind. But, I DO complain about Sophists, when I spot 'em.

So my timeline was way off as far as the date of the original msnbc interview. It is almost a month old. And it is the citizen media that brought it to light, not the corporate media.
