Former Obama official confirms Obama spied on Trump team

By from net, Posted in Politics / National

A former top Obama administration official has acknowledged efforts by her colleagues to gather spying intelligence on Trump & HIS team before Donald Trump took office - and to conceal the sources of that intelligence from the incoming administration.

Evelyn Farkas, deputy assistant secretary of defense under Obama, made the disclosure while on the air with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski.

"I was urging my former colleagues... get as much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before President Obama leaves the administration," Farkas, who is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, said.

The comments come as lawmakers on Capitol Hill clash over House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes' claim last week that surveillance operations collected Trump team communications before Trump ascended to the WH.

Aside from the fact communications were improperly gathered during the transition and before, there is speculation over how widely such information was disseminated. Farkas described a rush to spread the material before Trump took office.
