Unsurprisingly, President Donald J. Trump was correct.
Though he originally spoke, or tweeted, clumsily, the gist of his claim
was correct: The administration of his predecessor, Barack H. Obama, had
indeed been surveilling Trump and those close to his campaign.
As I showed in a previous article, The New York Times, Slate, Mother
Jones, and Heat Streeti.e. Democratic Party propaganda organsare among
the media outlets that confirmed months ago the Presidents claim. Theses
surveillance efforts had been transpiring from at least the time of last
summer.
Its true that it has not yet been proven that either Trump or any other
private American citizens in his orbit were subjects or targets of these
surveillance efforts. Ostensibly, foreigners, specifically, Russians,
were the subjects. But it is equally true that arrangements were made by
those within Obamas governmentthe so-called Deep Stateto illegally
unmask and leak public information regarding those private citizens that
allegedly got swept up in these spying operations.
For those still not convinced by this, Evelyn Farkas should remove all
doubt.
Under Obama, Farkas was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Russia/Ukraine/Eurasia, according to the website for the U.S.
Department of Defense. She left her position in 2015 to become an adviser
to Hillary Clintons campaign. Earlier in March, she appeared on MSNBC
and made the following comments on Morning Joe:
I was urging my former colleagues and, frankly speaking, people on the
Hill [to] get as much information as you can, as much intelligence as you
can, before President Obama leaves the administration.
Farkas admitted that she had a fear that somehow that information would
disappear with the senior people [from the Obama administration] who
left. She feared that it would disappear into the abyss of the
bureaucracy, and that the Trump folks, if they found out how we knew
what we knew about the Trump staffs dealing with Russia, that they would
try to compromise those sources and methods.
There are several telling insights to glean from Farkas remarks.
First, Farkas here acknowledges that the Obama administration,
essentially, had indeed been gathering intelligence, or spying, on
private citizens.
Second, being the Democrat partisan that she obviously is, Farkas
intention in making these comments, and making them in the left-friendly
venue of MSNBC, was to suggest that the Democrats The Russians Made Us
Do It (Lose) narrative has substance.
Yet, notice, Farkas never said that the intel proved anything so much as
resembling collusion between Putin or the Russians and Trump. Had
there been anything there, she would have done what no one has yet to do
and offer at least a scintilla of evidence to substantiate this charge.
Third, in fact, Farkas never even mentions any correspondence between
Trump and the Russians. No, she instead references Trump folks and
the Trump staff when talking about Russia.
Fourth, while Farkas obviously wanted for audiences to think that Obamas
government discovered some nefarious connection between Trump folks and
those dastardly Russians, the only allusion that she ever manages to make
is to the dealings that she alleges transpired between these groups.
In other words, Farkass wording here is profoundly vague.
Fifth, Farkas unwittingly confesses that she worried about the Trump
folks discovering how we knew what we knew . Is it not eminently
reasonable to infer from this statement that the how in question, the
methods by which intelligence was supposedly gathered, consists of
surveillance of the Trump folks?
Finally, Farkas admits to being worried about how the Trump
administration would react when it found out how we knew what we knew .
Who is this we? Farkas was no longer in the government as of 2015. Yet
her choice of words would have us think that she is still very much
involved in and allied with bureaucrats in the Deep State. Moreover,
given her standing as a Democrat and her position in the Obama
administration, its all too sensible to think that Farkas selection of
the first person-plural in this context refers to Farkas and her fellow
partisans that remain embedded in the bureaucracy over which her former
boss presided.
Farkas has tried retreating from her comments. The left-leaning media has
been busy spinning them away. But the cat is out of the bag:
The Deep State, under Obama, surveilled American citizens, in this case,
Trump and his folks. They wanted the information that they had gathered
to be as widely disseminatedleakedas possible.
