Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco: Free Alcohol, Tobacco and Drugs Delivered to Homeless People During Lockdown

San Francisco is using donations to fund the delivery of free alcohol , tobacco , and drugs including methadone and marijuana to homeless people staying in city-leased hotels during the coronavirus pandemic .
According to Thomas Wolf , a case manager who works with addicts in San Francisco , homeless people who “ identified ” as an alcoholic or addict are being given drugs and alcohol for free .
‘ I just found out that homeless placed in hotels in SF are being delivered Alcohol , Weed and Methadone because they identified as an addict/alcoholic for FREE , ‘ he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be offering treatment .
This is enabling and is wrong on many levels.
’ City officials have admitted that homeless people are being given free drugs and alcohol , stating that “ private donations ” are paying for the items , while claiming that managing nicotine , opioid and alcohol cravings in the homeless population ensures that they won ’ t go out and infect others .
Dr Grant Colfax , San Francisco ’ s public health director , said the harm-reduction approach is widespread and based on decades of sound public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be on supporting them , ’ he said of the homeless people who are isolating or under quarantine .
But Thomas Wolf , who was a homeless addict years ago before getting clean and becoming a counselor , says the free drugs and alcohol program could do more harm than good .
‘ There ’ s an ethical issue there .
Alcohol kills more people than any other drug .
And I understand the risks of having people detox in hotel rooms , but my understanding is the people who are quarantined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minutes for essential services , ’ he told the Chronicle .
‘ So if they have to get what they think they need , that ’ s what they should do .
But don ’ t deliver it to them .
‘ We want them to stay inside , but , man , you ’ ve got to draw the line somewhere and ask for more accountability .
Don ’ t be enabling people .

Breitbart report: The groups are sponsoring a “People’s Bailout” community organizing outfit to put pressure on lawmakers to use the crisis to enact reforms that would fundamentally transform American society.
The newly-created People’s Bailout group is demanding that the next coronavirus relief package adheres to “five principles.”
According to the group, the principles are endorsed by “nearly 1,000 organizations, unions, and community leaders, and nearly 100 members of Congress.”
Those “principals” include far-left wish list items such as taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens, a $15 per hour minimum wage, and government regulation of private companies’ directors to ensure “worker representation.”
Also within the “five principles” list are “direct sizable cash payments to every person” and the use of stimulus legislation to push what would amount to a massive “green” new deal, according to Breitbart.The “green” section calls for public funds to (below are direct quotes):
expand wind and solar power
build clean and affordable publictransit
weatherize our buildings
manufacture more clean energy goods
expand public services that support climate resilience
[reduce] climate emissions and toxic pollution.
Using progressive keywords, the group exclaims that a “people’s bailout should be rooted in justice” and “we demand the bailout provide a just recovery.”
The group is pushing the #PeoplesBailout hashtag and has gone so far as to provide activists with wording to use in social media posts directed at lawmakers.
The group’s website also provides exact scripting for people to read when calling their lawmakers to demand the “five principles” be incorporated in stimulus legislation.
The People’s Bailout held an online May Day rally and now wants activists to get further involved by displaying banners and forming car caravans.
The website promotes a “helpful slideshow and handout on key tactics to use” to push promote the transformative agenda.
The “helpful slideshow” and “tactics” linked on the site are from the Ruckus Society, which specializes in the disruption tactic of so-called direct action.
Ruckus provided training and resources to the Occupy movement.It’s been funded by the Soros-financed Tides Foundation.
Ruckus leaders infamously helped to spark the 1999 World Trade Organization protests in Seattle that turned violent.
The Occupy-Ruckus link is instructive. Besides Ruckus, Occupy was also backed by groups like MoveOn.org and the Working Families Party.
The Soros-funded MoveOn.org and the Working Families Party are two of 13 listed “sponsors” of the People’s Bailout group.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, one People’s Bailout sponsor is the Sunrise Movement which helped craft the socialist utopian Green New Deal blueprint introduced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Sunrise was in part inspired by the activism of Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter and the radical immigration group United We Dream.
Another sponsor is the Indivisible Project, which has partnered with Organizing for Action, the activist group that morphed from Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign. Breitbart News extensively reported that Indivisible leaders are openly associated with groups financed by Soros.
Indivisible yesterday endorsed Joe Biden for president. The group’s leaders say they are engaged with Biden’s campaign on such policies as universal voting by mail.
The other 13 sponsors of the People’s Bailout include the Center for Popular Democracy, Climate Justice Alliance, Greenpeace and the Soros-funded Sierra Club.

The Center for American Progress (CAP), which functions as an idea factory for the Democratic Party, compiled its own wish list for the next round of recovery legislation.
Like the People’s Bailout, CAP wants those defined as essential workers to get paid minimum wages of at least $15 dollars and they must have the ability to join a union.
Progressives have long pushed minimum wage hikes despite warnings that such proposals could lead to disastrous economic consequences.
The federal minimum wage hike is a progressive plan that in the past was marketed as a “living wage.” The living wage scheme, deployed in the past locally, has a history of hurting small businesses, negatively impacting local economies and decreasing employment opportunities for low income workers. Indeed, the living wage has monumentally failed during numerous high profile trials.
Increased abortion funding, stimulus checks for illegals, permanent housing guarantees, mail-in voting for elections and more union access also make their way into the CAP proposals.

“So, if anyone has a dad that would like to walk me down the aisle, let me know,” she added.
The video went viral on Twitter, garnering over one million views and earning the attention of Donald Trump Jr., who offered to walk the young woman down the aisle himself.
“Really sad and touching at the same time. Good for her for standing up to the nonsense. P.S. If she doesn’t find someone better count me in,” he offered:

The heartbreaking video drew hundreds of messages of support from conservative well-wishers, who also offered their sympathies, service, and advice.
“.@DanCrenshawTX – personally I think you’d be a great candidate to help this young lady out,” one user said.
“I’ll do it!” another offered.

Texas Gov .
Greg Abbott has issued an executive order Thursday retroactively banning jail time for citizens who ignore the state ’ s stay-at-home rules , freeing salon owner Shelley Luther , who was jailed for seven days and fined a whopping $ 7,000 for reopening her business .
“ Throwing Texans in jail who have had their businesses shut down through no fault of their own is nonsensical , and I will not allow it to happen .
That is why I am modifying my executive orders to ensure confinement is not a punishment for violating an order .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , supersedes local orders and if correctly applied should free Shelley Luther … As some county judges advocate for releasing hardened criminals from jail to prevent the spread of COVID-19 , it is absurd to have these business owners take their place.

Luther was unrepentant , explaining that she reopened on April 24 because she hadn ’ t earned income since the county ’ s stay-at-home order was set in March , and that she applied for a federal PPP loan but hadn ’ t received the aid until Sunday .
She also explained that she was operating her business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of new safety protocols in place to protect staff and customers .
“ I couldn ’ t feed my family , and my stylists couldn ’ t feed their families , ” Luther said .
“ I have much respect for this court and laws .
I have never been in this position before and it ’ s not someplace that I want to be .
But I have to disagree with you sir , when you say that I ’ m selfish because feeding my kids — is not selfish .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because they ’ d rather feed their kids .
So sir , if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed , then please go ahead with you decision but I am not going to shut the salon.
” She was then immediately taken into custody and booked into the Dallas County jail , where there are currently 248 inmates who have tested positive for the coronavirus .

Court documents from Tara Reade ’ s 1996 divorce proceedings reveal she told her ex-husband about the violent sexual assault she experienced while working for Joe Biden ’ s Senate office in the early 1990 ’ s .
The San Luis Obispo Tribune reported on Thursday that it had exclusively obtained a 1996 declaration filed by Theodore Dronen , Reade ’ s ex-husband , contesting a restraining order she filed against him after he had begun divorce proceedings .

California Sheriff Chad Bianco reaffirmed his stance to not enforce unconstitutional stay-at-home orders , declaring that he will not “ make criminals out of business owners , single moms , and otherwise healthy individuals for exercising their constitutional rights.

Government “ ordered residents into their homes , closed their businesses , made them wear masks , forbid them from going to church , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over 200 years ago , ” he explained .
“ In the name of a public health crisis , our civil liberties and constitutional protections were placed on hold , ” he said .
According to Bianco , officials have asked a lot of law-abiding citizens over the last two months as part of a greater effort to flatten the curve .
“ It worked , ” he said , listing a series of statistics : “ What isn ’ t being emphasized is that 2,000 of the 4,300 people who have tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work .

newspunch--2020-05-08--DNC Chair, Who Said GOP Was ‘Afraid’ of Kavanaugh Probe, Refuses To Look At Biden Docs

Hypocritical Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez is being haunted by his past statements of support for women who accused powerful men of sexual misconduct .
As the DNC chairman continues to campaign in support of Joe Biden — who is facing a credible allegation of sexual assault from his former Senate aide Tara Reade — his previous comments calling Republicans “ afraid ” of the Kavanaugh investigation have surfaced , and they are problematic for Perez , Biden and the Democrats .
Perez and the Democrats now seem to be the ones afraid an investigation .
And they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
WesternJournal report : In 2018 , as then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was being grilled over Dr. Christine Blasey Ford ’ s allegation that he assaulted her when they were teenagers , Perez was just one of countless Democrats to speak up in support of Blasey Ford , despite the vague nature of her accusation .
During an onstage interview with then-Wall Street Journal reporter Reid Epstein in September 2018 at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin , Perez claimed Republicans were “ afraid ” of a formal investigation into the accusation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kavanaugh ’ s old friend Mark Judge , who Blasey Ford claimed was a witness but who said he had no memory of the alleged events , had not been subpoenaed to testify before the Senate .
“ As someone who spent a good part of my career at the Justice Department , under Republican and Democratic administrations as a career prosecutor , I can ’ t help but be overwhelmed by the kangaroo court .
Mark Judge is a witness to this who hasn ’ t been subpoenaed .
Why are they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said at the time .
“ This is a lifetime appointment .
This is the real deal.
” Perez also praised Blasey Ford for her “ profile in courage.
” “ Her life will never be the same .
She will never be anonymous again .
She ’ s endured death threats .
They had to move out of their home , ” the DNC chairman said .

” Biden is now his party ’ s presumptive nominee for the Oval Office , and he is facing a credible allegation of sexual assault .
Perez and Democrats now seem to be the ones afraid an investigation .
And they ’ re certainly not asking Biden to step aside .

Hypocritical Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez is being haunted by his past statements of support for women who accused powerful men of sexual misconduct.
As the DNC chairman continues to campaign in support of Joe Biden — who is facing a credible allegation of sexual assault from his former Senate aide Tara Reade — his previous comments calling Republicans “afraid” of the Kavanaugh investigation have surfaced, and they are problematic for Perez, Biden and the Democrats.

Perez and the Democrats now seem to be the ones afraid an investigation. And they’re certainly not demanding Biden step aside.
WesternJournal report: In 2018, as then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was being grilled over Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s allegation that he assaulted her when they were teenagers, Perez was just one of countless Democrats to speak up in support of Blasey Ford, despite the vague nature of her accusation.
During an onstage interview with then-Wall Street Journal reporter Reid Epstein in September 2018 at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Perez claimed Republicans were “afraid” of a formal investigation into the accusation against Kavanaugh.
Perez also lamented that Kavanaugh’s old friend Mark Judge, who Blasey Ford claimed was a witness but who said he had no memory of the alleged events, had not been subpoenaed to testify before the Senate.
“As someone who spent a good part of my career at the Justice Department, under Republican and Democratic administrations as a career prosecutor, I can’t help but be overwhelmed by the kangaroo court. Mark Judge is a witness to this who hasn’t been subpoenaed. Why are they afraid of an investigation?” Perez said at the time.
“This is a lifetime appointment. This is the real deal.”
Perez also praised Blasey Ford for her “profile in courage.”
“Her life will never be the same. She will never be anonymous again. She’s endured death threats. They had to move out of their home,” the DNC chairman said.
It is important to note that an FBI investigation into Blasey Ford’s allegation against Kavanaugh found no evidence he was guilty of any wrongdoing.
Fast forward to the accusation that Biden kissed, groped and digitally penetrated Reade during an unwanted 1993 sexual advance, which Biden denied Friday on MSNBC, and Perez is suddenly singing a very different tune.
Speaking to ABC’s Martha Raddatz on Sunday about a search for an official complaint Reade says she filed with the Senate personnel office after the alleged incident, Perez indicated that Biden has already done enough to prove his innocence.
Perez also said that Biden had been transparent about the allegation, citing the former VP’s call for Senate records to be released that might contain Reade’s complaint.
But Perez brushed off any notion that there should be a probe into the more than 1,800 boxes of records from Biden’s Senate career currently being kept at the University of Delaware.
“There’s been so many investigations of the vice president. The most comprehensive investigation of the vice president was when he was vetted by Barack Obama in 2008. I’m very familiar with vice presidential vetting process. They look at everything about you,” Perez said.
“They looked at the entire history of Joe Biden, his entire career. And I’ll tell you, if Barack Obama had any indication that there was an issue, Barack Obama would not have had him as his vice president. Barack Obama trusted Joe Biden. I trust Joe Biden. And those investigations have been done,” Perez told ABC’s “This Week.”
As for the University of Delaware records, Perez said, “This is like the Hillary emails. Because, there was nothing there.”
“I work on the Senate’s Judiciary Committee in 1995, the ranking member was Joe Biden. I was working for Joe Biden. I was working for Senator Kennedy. If you want to see my personnel records, you don’t go to the Kennedy Institute. That’s not where they go, and so, when you ask the University of Delaware to take a look at something, you’re asking them to look for something that doesn’t exist.”
These comments paint a picture of a man who, like a great deal of Democrats, has been both disingenuous and inconsistent on the subject of believing woman.
In December 2017, Perez vowed that Democrats would not look the other way at sexual misconduct allegations against members of his own party. Those comments came after then-Sen. Al Franken, a Democrat from Minnesota, had been accused of sexual misconduct.
“Sexual misconduct, harassment, and assault have no place in the Democratic Party, the United States Congress, the White House, or anywhere,” Perez said in a statementat the time.
“There are big differences between Democrats and Republicans and this is just one of them. Instead of standing up for women and confronting the problems of misconduct within their own ranks, the Republican Party has chosen to pursue power and push their radical far-right agenda at any cost,” he said. “The Democratic Party will stand up for women and for what is right. Public service is a public trust. If you are a candidate for office or an elected official who has engaged in sexual misconduct, you should step aside — whether you sit in the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, or the Oval Office.”
Biden is now his party’s presumptive nominee for the Oval Office, and he is facing a credible allegation of sexual assault.
Perez and Democrats now seem to be the ones afraid an investigation. And they’re certainly not asking Biden to step aside.


newspunch--2020-05-08--Bombshell Newly Released Document Directly Implicates Obama In Flynn Case

A newly released document indicates that former President Barack Obama pushed the FBI to go after Gen. Michael Flynn .
The document also reveals that while former Vice President Joe Biden probably wasn ’ t part of masterminding the plot , he was in on it from the beginning .
It ’ s not yet clear , though , if this was part of a grander plot by Obama to ruin Trump ’ s presidency or was just part of Obama ’ s personal vendetta against Flynn himself .
AmericanThinker reports : Obama and Flynn had a history , for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s director of the Defense Intelligence Agency .
In April 2014 , the Obama administration forced Flynn to retire .
By February 2017 , Adam Kredo reported that the break had come about because Flynn opposed Obama ’ s disastrous Iran deal .
In August 2016 , the FBI opened its investigation into General Flynn to determine whether Flynn “ may wittingly or unwittingly be involved in activity on behalf of the Russian Federation which may constitute a federal crime or threat to the national security.
” The FBI had four pathetic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a man who had spent his life serving America : When Trump won the election , Obama warned Trump not to hire Flynn .
Trump ignored that warning and , instead , appointed Flynn as his incoming director of the National Security Agency .
It was in this capacity that , on December 29 , 2016 , Flynn had a phone call with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak .
According to the Department of Justice ’ s motion to dismiss the Flynn prosecution , the FBI ’ s transcript of that call revealed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its face that the phone call did not show Flynn engaging in treasonous behavior .
By January 4 , the FBI had prepared its “ Closing Communication , ” detailing its decision to end the investigation into Flynn because it had no derogatory information that justified continuing to investigate him .
The FBI leadership , however , worked with Peter Strzok to keep the investigation open , using the Kislyak call as an excuse – even though everyone involved knew from the transcript that the Kislyak call was as innocent as the rest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that gets us to Barack Obama ’ s role in all this .
On January 5 , 2017 , a crowd that included Obama , Comey ( FBI ) , Biden , Brennan ( CIA ) , Clapper ( DNI ) , Sally Yates ( the acting Attorney General ) , and Susan Rice ( NSA ) gathered in the Oval Office .
The main topic was Russian election interference .
After the meeting , with Biden and Rice still present , Obama asked Yates and Comey to stay behind as well .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Obama announced that he had “ ‘ learned of the information about Flynn , ’ and his conversation with Kislyak about sanctions.
” Obama was “ seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently , given the information.
” While Obama did not give an explicit order about Flynn , one can almost hear him saying , “ Hint , hint , hint.
” Then , perhaps in the interests of plausible deniability , Obama “ specified that he did not want any additional information on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Flynn/Kislyak call , it ’ s reasonable to believe that he knew about the call ’ s contents .
And if he knew about the contents , he also knew that Flynn had not said anything inappropriate or illegal .
Yates , who testified about this meeting , was vaguely aware that Obama and Comey were making plans to prosecute Flynn : One week after the meeting , an illegal leak of classified information resulted in the Washington Post reporting on the call between Flynn and Kislyak .
Two weeks after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was inaugurated , Rice wrote her bizarre “ memo to self ” about the January 5 meeting in which she stated that Obama had insisted that the investigation should be done “ by the book.
” The recently released documents show that the book was The Deep State ’ s Guide To Destroying Your Political Enemies .
Four days later , Comey violated all standard protocol to sneak into the White House and have his agents blindside Flynn with the interview that led to his prosecution .
Whether all of the above events @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What we can see , though , is a straight line from Obama firing Flynn over the Iran Deal , to Obama unsuccessfully trying to keep Flynn out of the Trump government , to Obama sending strong signals to his henchman that the Flynn-Kislyak call could be used to destroy Flynn , to Obama ’ s Deep State agents in fact using that call to destroy Flynn .
The old saying that “ a fish rots from the head ” is old for a good reason : Human nature and experience tell us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that corruption begins at the top and seeps downwards .
Even as rank-and-file agents were still doing their jobs , upper-level management was not only breaking the law but seemed to be getting the go-ahead from Obama himself to do that .
And as we head into the 2020 election , we can ’ t ignore the fact that Biden was present for all of this… .

By February 2017, Adam Kredo reported that the break had come about because Flynn opposed Obama’s disastrous Iran deal.
In August 2016, the FBI opened its investigation into General Flynn to determine whether Flynn “may wittingly or unwittingly be involved in activity on behalf of the Russian Federation which may constitute a federal crime or threat to the national security.” The FBI had four pathetic grounds for this extraordinarily serious charge against a man who had spent his life serving America:
Specifically, CR [Flynn] has been cited as an advisor to the Trump team on foreign policy issues February 2016; he has ties to various state-affiliated entities of the Russian Federation, as reported by open source information; and he traveled to Russia in December 2015, as reported by open source information. Additionally, CR has an active TS/SCI clearance.
When Trump won the election, Obama warned Trump not to hire Flynn. Trump ignored that warning and, instead, appointed Flynn as his incoming director of the National Security Agency. It was in this capacity that, on December 29, 2016, Flynn had a phone call with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
According to the Department of Justice’s motion to dismiss the Flynn prosecution, the FBI’s transcript of that call revealed that
Mr. Flynn’s request that Russia avoid ‘escalating’ tensions in response to U.S. sanctions in an effort to mollify geopolitical tensions was consistent with him advocating for, not against, the interests of the United States.
That is, the transcript revealed on its face that the phone call did not show Flynn engaging in treasonous behavior.
By January 4, the FBI had prepared its “Closing Communication,” detailing its decision to end the investigation into Flynn because it had no derogatory information that justified continuing to investigate him. The FBI leadership, however, worked with Peter Strzok to keep the investigation open, using the Kislyak call as an excuse – even though everyone involved knew from the transcript that the Kislyak call was as innocent as the rest of Flynn’s behavior.
And that gets us to Barack Obama’s role in all this. On January 5, 2017, a crowd that included Obama, Comey (FBI), Biden, Brennan (CIA), Clapper (DNI), Sally Yates (the acting Attorney General), and Susan Rice (NSA) gathered in the Oval Office. The main topic was Russian election interference.

While Obama did not give an explicit order about Flynn, one can almost hear him saying, “Hint, hint, hint.” Then, perhaps in the interests of plausible deniability, Obama “specified that he did not want any additional information on the matter….”
Given that Obama knew about the Flynn/Kislyak call, it’s reasonable to believe that he knew about the call’s contents. And if he knew about the contents, he also knew that Flynn had not said anything inappropriate or illegal.
Yates, who testified about this meeting, was vaguely aware that Obama and Comey were making plans to prosecute Flynn :
At that point, Yates had no idea what the President was talking about, but figured it out based on the conversation. Yates recalled Comey mentioning the Logan Act, but can’t recall if he specified there was an “investigation.”
One week after the meeting, an illegal leak of classified information resulted in the Washington Post reporting on the call between Flynn and Kislyak. Two weeks after the meeting, on the day that Trump was inaugurated, Rice wrote her bizarre “memo to self” about the January 5 meeting in which she stated that Obama had insisted that the investigation should be done “by the book.” The recently released documents show that the book was The Deep State’s Guide To Destroying Your Political Enemies.
Four days later, Comey violated all standard protocol to sneak into the White House and have his agents blindside Flynn with the interview that led to his prosecution.
Whether all of the above events are connected is not yet clear. What we can see, though, is a straight line from Obama firing Flynn over the Iran Deal, to Obama unsuccessfully trying to keep Flynn out of the Trump government, to Obama sending strong signals to his henchman that the Flynn-Kislyak call could be used to destroy Flynn, to Obama’s Deep State agents in fact using that call to destroy Flynn.
The old saying that “a fish rots from the head” is old for a good reason: Human nature and experience tell us that when an institution is corrupt, that corruption begins at the top and seeps downwards. Even as rank-and-file agents were still doing their jobs, upper-level management was not only breaking the law but seemed to be getting the go-ahead from Obama himself to do that.

The Federalist reports : Farkas , who served in the Obama administration as the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Russia , Ukraine , and Eurasia from 2012 through 2015 , also claimed that administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evidence of alleged collusion if they “ found out how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff ’ s dealing with Russians.

Break out the popcorn and get comfortable. The show has begun.
Evelyn Farkas’ March 2017 appearance on MSNBC provided red meat for the left’s Russian collusion witch hunt. Three years later it has been confirmed that she was lying.
Farkas testified before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on June 26, 2017, as part of the committee’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election between Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Lawmakers keyed in on an appearance Farkas made on MSNBC on March 2, 2017, in which she urged intelligence community bureaucrats to disseminate within the government and potentially even leak to media any incriminating information they had about Trump or his aides.
“I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama administration] people who left…[that] it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy,” Farkas said.
The Federalist reports: Farkas, who served in the Obama administration as the deputy assistant secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, and Eurasia from 2012 through 2015, also claimed that administration officials appointed by Trump might even destroy evidence of alleged collusion if they “found out how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff’s dealing with Russians.”
They might “try to compromise those sources and methods,” Farkas alleged in the MSNBC interview. “And we would no longer have access to that intelligence.”
“Not enough was coming out into the open and I knew there was more,” Farkas claimed.
But Farkas sang a different tone under oath when questioned by lawmakers about what she actually “knew” about collusion.

“I didn’t,” said Farkas, a former mid-level Russia analyst who left the federal government in 2015.
“Then how did you know?” Gowdy responded.
“I didn’t know anything,” Farkas said.
“Did you have information connecting the Trump campaign to the hack of the DNC?” Gowdy asked.
“No,” Farkas admitted.
“So when you say, ‘We knew,’ the reality is you knew nothing,” Gowdy asked later during the deposition.
“Correct,” Farkas responded.
Gowdy didn’t stop there.
“So when you say ‘knew,’ what you really meant was felt?” he asked.
“Correct,” Farkas answered.
“You didn’t know anything?” Gowdy continued.
“That’s correct,” Farkas responded.
Farkas, a Democrat, is currently running for Congress in New York’s 17th district.
