Former Obama administration officials and current elected Democrats are really sad that they can’t let you see the Russian collusion evidence. Not ever. Because if you could see the evidence, then all of the CIA spies embedded right next door to Putin would be killed or something.
That’s what these losers told us for years when it comes to Russian collusion. Every time they’d go on television, they’d declare to credulous reporters that there was “more than circumstantial evidence.” It kind of makes you wonder what those folks would say about Russian collusion behind closed doors, doesn’t it?
Even after Robert Mueller’s team desperately tried and failed to pin Russian collusion on the 2016 Trump campaign, the left won’t give up on this fairytale. Tara Reade is now being called an “agent of Vladimir Putin” because she wants people to take her rape allegations against Joe Biden seriously. Fortunately, we can all rest easy, at long last, because we know it was all a sham.
The House Intelligence Committee under Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) interviewed 57 people for a staggering number of hours about Russian collusion – and those transcripts have now been released. The interviews began when Republicans were in control of the House in 2017 and continued through 2019. PBS has published every single one of them here.
So, we don’t have to wonder whether they told a different story on TV than they were telling behind closed doors. Here’s what a bunch of Obama administration officials testified to the House Intel Committee when they were under oath, behind closed doors and knew they could be charged with perjury if they lied. They were all asked basically the same question, which was along the lines of, ‘Please share with us the Russian collusion evidence that you have seen.’
Susan Rice, Obama’s National Security Advisor: “I don’t recall intelligence that I would consider evidence.”
Samantha Power, Obama’s UN Ambassador: “I am not in possession of anything – I am not in possession and didn’t read or absorb information that came from out of the intelligence community.”
Got it? She didn’t absorb anything.
Jim Clapper, Obama’s Director National Intelligence: “I never saw any direct empirical evidence that the Trump campaign or someone in it was plotting or conspiring with the Russians to meddle with the election.”
Loretta Lynch, Obama’s Second-Worst Attorney General: “I do not recall that being briefed up to me.”
Evelyn Farkas was Barack Obama’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia. She went on MSNBC and here’s what she told the American people:
“I had a fear that somehow that information [the Russian collusion evidence] would disappear with the senior people who left so that it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy, that the Trump folks, if they found out how we knew what we knew… About Trump staff dealing with Russians that they would try to compromise those sources and methods.”
Wow! Sounds like Evelyn Farkas had her eyes on a bunch of serious, important Russian collusion evidence at the Department of Defense. That exchange on MSNBC took place in 2017, even though Farkas left the DOD back in 2015 – before Donald Trump was even a candidate for president.
Here’s the secret, behind-closed-doors exchange between former Congressman Trey Gowdy and Evelyn Farkas, regarding her statements to the American people on MSNBC:
Gowdy: “How would you know what the US government knew at that point [2016-2017]? You didn’t work for it, did you?”
Farkas: “I didn’t.”
Gowdy: “Then how did you know?”
Farkas: “I didn’t know anything.”
Evelyn Farkas was so beloved by collusion kooks after that MSNBC appearance that she’s been tapped to run for Congress this year. She’ll probably win. She’s running for an open seat in New York in a blue district.
Trey Gowdy even gave former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe free rein to use hearsay – not even evidence – if he could provide the committee members with a single shred of something that he may have heard from someone as to whether Donald Trump conspired, colluded or confederated with anyone from Russia. Anything? Anything at all?
McCabe’s response: “No, sir.”
Not a single one of the 57 people interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee over a two-year span had a single shred of evidence that Russian collusion was real. And now you know why Adam Schiff fought tooth and nail to keep those transcripts secret from the public.
