Former Obama Official Admits She Lied About Having Evidence of Russian Collusion

This is what happens when the entire myth was based on a political opposition research document—the Trump dossier—which was compiled by an ex-MI6 spook Christopher Steele, whose anti-Trump efforts were funded by Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was probably never vetted by the FBI, given the glaring errors in it, and it was used as credible evidence to secure a spy warrant against Carter Page, a former Trump campaign official. It was biased political propaganda
Also:

SPYGATE: If The FBI Missed This Glaring Inaccuracy, Did They Even Attempt To Verify The Trump Dossier?

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.

And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s ties to Russia.

"Admits she lied" is a direct quote of the headline for the story referenced here. However, in the actual 72-page transcript of the interview ( https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/ef15.pdf ) Ms. Farkas makes no such admission. In fact, the word "lie" never was spoken during the interview, by anybody. Now, since that word--"lie"--has been discussed so extensively in recent posts here on CF, it might be better just to say that Matt Vespa of Townhall believes that Ms. Farkas lied, and leave it at that.

Just stop already. This endless twisting of reality is starting to make the world curl up at the edges.

It needs to be exposed. Leftists have infiltrated and still control much of our federal bureaucracy.

It makes sense. Most Americans have no interest in those jobs that produce nothing of value but merely allocate other people's money to favored causes.

But that would be truth, and truth does not serve Donald.

This is not news, it was opposition research. We’ve known that from day 1. Did you not know the Steele dossier was opposition research, which is absolutely political and relative to Election Day?

What exactly was exposed here that was not already known? And what exactly was the admitted “lie?”

The Federalist is lying to you. They linked to the original video. Here it is:
Democratic senator calls for Trump's tax returns

And here's her interview:
https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/ef15.pdf

In the original video, she doesn't claim to know or have known anything aside from the fact that the government had some vague, greater-than-zero quantity amount of information about the Russians. She was saying that she'd encouraged her contacts to get whatever information they could get - not that any specific information existed.

The plot to take down Trump with the false narrative of Russian collusion is being exposed. Do you admit that this entire episode was a politically motivated hit job?

Just listen to yourself. 'Leftists'. Like this is some rubbish cold war spy movie. No, sorry to disappoint you, there isn't some huge secret plot to infiltrate the government and sneakily give people healthcare or whatever evil plot you think these 'Leftists' are hatching.

As for your smear of people who work for the government, a lot of people actually believe that helping their follow citizens and their country are positive goals and make for an enriching career.

There's actually a prize they award now to the people in government who make a huge difference that year, they call the Sammies (Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals). It was brought in because it turns out people working in government actually achieve some amazing and wonderful things for their fellow citizens, and receive almost zero credit because of attitudes like yours.

Here's a few of the 2018 finalists achievements:

"A team from the Health and Human Services Department is developing a promising new vaccine to prevent the spread of the Zika virus.

An FBI task force is in the midst of a record takedown of the MS-13 gang, arresting more than 60 leaders and members from the group to date.

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention employee spent her career pioneering research to understand autism and other developmental disabilities.

A Veterans Affairs Department employee, while on detail to the Federal Emergency Management Agency during last year’s slew of historic hurricanes, found a way to improve FEMA’s system to assess flood damage from major storms. His work helped FEMA deliver aid to storm survivors more quickly and saved millions of dollars in appraisal costs."

So yeah, quite a lot more going on than just 'allocate other people's money to favored causes'...

Please explain how that was exposed here,specifically. No, I don’t think it was a “politically motivated hit job.”

For those paying attention, nothing new was exposed here, but I didn't read the entire article.

It was unquestionably a political hit job. Trump did not collude with Russia for any political purpose. In truth, Russia wanted Hillary to win. They knew that she would be much easier to work with.

How is it that the Clinton Foundation was given $150 million by Russia and not a single leftist cares?

Yes, we infiltrated. Otherwise known has went through the hiring process same as anyone else.
It makes sense. Most Americans have no interest in those jobs that produce nothing of value but merely allocate other people's money to favored causes.

Come do my job for 50 hours a week. Come ensure the police, fire, street crews, emergency operations, and power line workers have the tools to respond effectively and then tell me it produces nothing of value.

Just stop already. This endless twisting of reality is starting to make the world curl up at the edges.

Why do you think that so many Democrats as well as Republicans continue to engage in it? Only we independents seem to have a view of reality completely, totally, correctly and objectively unblemished by partisan colored glasses. And the humility that comes with such perfection.

. Please give citation.

That’s a lie and it’s been debunked.


The truth will set you free:

"House Intelligence Committee staff told me that after an exhaustive investigation reviewing intelligence and interviewing intelligence officers, they found that Brennan suppressed high-quality intelligence suggesting that Putin actually wanted the more predictable and malleable Clinton to win the 2016 election," he added. "Instead, the Brennan team included low-quality intelligence that failed to meet intelligence community standards to support the political claim that Russian officials wanted Trump to win, House Intelligence Committee staff revealed. They said that CIA analysts also objected to including that flawed, substandard information in the assessment."

Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20% of America’s uranium holdings to Russia, while nine investors in the deal funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.
