Spicer Skewers Media For Defending Dr. Farkas, Calls Her Public Admissions of Collecting Intelligence on Trump ‘Devastating’

In today’s press conference at the White House, Sean Spicer shifted the conversation away from the nothing-burger of who told Chairman Nunes about the Trump team being surveilled by the Obama administration to the public comments made by Dr. Farkas — the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense specializing in Russia, who said “get as much information as you can” to persons inside the intelligence apparatus — for the purposes of preserving intel on the Trump team in an effort to hide it from the incoming administration.

Spicer called her comments alone ‘devasting’ and posited the notion that had the media been treating the Trump administration fairly, they’d be more concerned with the intelligence leaks coming out of the Obama administration — surveilling Trump and his team — for reasons that are, indelibly, unclear.

Furthermore, he mentioned Hillary Clinton’s paid speaking fees from Russia, selling off 1/5th of America’s uranium supplies, and receiving personal phone calls from Vladimir Putin as actual legitimate Russian connections that should raise an eyebrow. In terms of Obama officials admitting to surveilling and safe keeping intelligence on the Trump team, Spicer thinks there was an attempt to do something that was politically motivated and should be investigated.

Immediately following Dr. Farkas’ comments were made on the Morning Joe show, revealing that the Obama administration had been surveilling the Trump team, the notion of how she might’ve come into contact with Trump team intelligence, after she had resigned from the pentagon, became a topic of discussion — which the media didn’t seem to grasp today with Spicer.

Here’s Spicer chastising the media for defending Dr. Farkas, instead of asking her questions as to how she had access to Trump intelligence, post resignation, and why she spread classified information in an effort to conceal it from the incoming administration.

Bradley Moss, an attorney who specializes in national security law, tweeted his dismay that Dr. Farkas’ public comments had become a topic of discussion, saying “OMG, yadda, yadda, yadda.” This is all a big inconvienence for those who’d rather spend their time mocking the President for alleging that Obama had, in fact, ordered ‘wiretapping’ done on him and his team. It’s even more troubling for them to learn, after the fact, that everything the President said was true.

Nevertheless, Dr. Farkas agreed with Moss, tweeting ‘Amen Brother. Who benefits from this fake news? R-U-S-S-I-A.’

Using her logic, anything that doesn’t impugn the character of the President of the United States, any defense for the rule of law as it pertains to the illegal transfer of classified documents and unmasking of persons, is, in fact, aiding and abetting the Russian government. In other words, she believes, arrogantly, that she is above the law — because she’s fighting the good fight against Mother Russia — defeating it for a second time in a renewed cold war.

Unreal.

    They should be getting paid for their shilling. But I think it’s important to note they believe in what they say, a delusion brought on by poor breeding.

      Perhaps, afterall you DO get paid for your shilling. And hey with a 35% approval rating looks like 65% of the US are shills.

          Stop with the polling fake news and lies. Raw polls and electoral college predictions are very different things. Approval is a raw poll. CNN’s raw pole the day before the election had her winning by 2% of the vote, SPOT ON!

            Sorry I forgot facts don’t matter to you Trumptards. I could paste a link again showing a nov 7 poll from several liberal sources where Clinton was ahead by 2%, the exact margin she won the popular vote by. But why bother, fact mean nothing to you.

            I’ve never understood why I’m supposed to care what other people think about an issue or person? The use of polls is a persuasion tool to manipulate weak minds. We have many weak minds among us. Yours would be a great example. I would expect Trumps poll numbers to be low given that he is undertaking an effort to undo decades old entrenched ideology. Use your brain Bennyhill.

        The average Trump supporter doesn’t participate in fake news MSM polls. He and she are too busy winning.

        Why would they participate even if they had time for such nonsense? The fake news MSM pollsters skew their input downward to get the result they want anyway.

        You might as well say that 65% of outraged butt hurt liberals disapprove of Trump.

    WTF? ….and still no arrest of the leakers and Soros/Klinton sympathizers w/i the Trump administration. Farkas is still free and twatting, Crooked Hitlery ( as well as six other top aids) is still prancing around with all her clearances to top intel intact from her days in gov/t, while FBI is wasting time pursuing “russians did it” fake allegations. The US is nothing but a failed banana republic.

    I’ve read this twice and still have no real idea what point you are making. It’s no secret obama spread out the intel he had on trump / russia. Just like obe-wan spread out padme’s kids.

    Fly I have three options to present:

    1) My phone is suddenly getting old (and weird, sometimes computer too?), or

    2) I’m too drunk EVERY time, or

    3) iBC is at its all time jankiest!?! Has no one said anything? Only thing cool about the new design is that dope branding. That’s some like, Illuminati / new world order ultra hex, that’s pretty baddass. I correlate it with your new found “role” in public life. And new found confidence as a one position shill for your emotions and website stats… Which are winning.

    What do you think?

    Back at the Uranium bullshit. Transcript –

    STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you have any evidence that she actually intervened in this issue?

    SCHWEIZER: No, we don’t have direct evidence. But it warrants further investigation because, again, George, this is part of the broader pattern. You either have to come to the conclusion that these are all coincidences or something else is afoot.

    C’MON LIBBIES! Keep up!

    you people are in Twilight Zone territory now.

    Hillary— facilitating the sale of our uranium to Russian interests (john podesta linked) as Sec of State. Playing grab ass with Putin and bragging about being in his inner sanctum. Easily hack-able private server system with top secret info. Complete and utter fail with Benghazi.. oh.. ahem it was caused by a ” youtube video”

    C’mon guys and gals, drift away from the Evil. I know most of you are good folk. I know Trump is no saint, but seriously.. You are shilling for Hillary, soros, podesta, etc.

    Fly, back to a previous post. You said you preferred to hang out with the rich rather than the poor. It made me think. I’m educated but working class. I always preferred the interesting. I understand a rich man can be interesting; Branson and a lot of others out of sight play hard as do lots of people with less money (Valley Uprising). Regardless of the amount of money you make, if you play…, surf, hike, sail, fly fish we could have an interesting conversation.
