When Hillary Clinton resigned as Secretary of State in 2013, she negotiated continuing access to classified and top-secret documents for herself and six staffers under the designation "research assistants," according to a powerful senator who notes that Clinton was later deemed "extremely careless" with such information.

The staff apparently retained access even after Clinton announced her run for President in April 2015 according to Sen Charles Grassley, R- Iowa.....

interesting that recent xlintonista song bird, evelyn farkas was also on her presendential campaign staff.

Hannity made an excellent point. How did Farkas....a fairly low level govt employee....know so many of the surveillance details? She actually spoke very knowledgably on the subject.

Did Obama hold "Surveillance Summits w/ "people on the Hill?" and the Hillary team?

Cong Maxine Waters "on the Hill" is also well-informed....and has detailed info that Obama had "compiled data" on every American.

========================================

Direct from the blabbermouthing Maxine Waters: “Well, you know, I don’t know and I think some people are missing something here. "

" President Obama has put in place an organization that contains a kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very very powerful and whoever…and that database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that."

"They’re going to have to go down with that database and the concerns of those people are because they can’t get around it and he’s been very smart and it’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

=========================================

MOST PECULIAR: Farkas wasn't even in the Obama administration during this time but she said she was: “urging my former colleagues and, frankly speaking, 'the people on the Hill'... get as much information as you can," adding that her big fear was "if [Trump staffers] found out how we knew what we knew about their ... the Trump staff dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.”

Emphasis on "former colleagues" b/c Evelyn Farkas was now working for HILLARY.

heads up

[ssfromla]

There is no doubt in my mind that the information gathering of all Americans was going to be used to prosecute climate deniers/Christians.

I saw this yesterday. The Obama administration stiff-armed Grassley on a simple and reasonable question. The Trump administration was responsive.

There is nothing inherently wrong in extending security clearance. That is a judgment call.

They really did expect to win the election and bury the criminal activity.

I don't have any expectation that justice will be done. In fact, I doubt it will be done. Just a bunch of political fireworks.

[thinden]

my question is: would this state dept access clinton’s campaign had to classified and top secret info be the “source” of evelyn farka’s recent statement????

[alloysteel]

Cronyism even with the Deep State.

Insider information still gets distributed to the “right” people. Even, as it turns out, the “right” people are agents of foreign ideologies or national interests.

Does anybody remember Sandy Berger? Another Clintonista that was known to “modify” certain of the documents in the National Archives, even to remove some of the more “damaging” ones.

All in the name of research, of course.

-- would this state dept access clinton's campaign had to classified and top secret info be the "source" of evelyn farka's recent statement? --

It certainly could be. State's job is to keep tabs on foreign affairs, especially through diplomats. Who was it Flynn was talking to?

Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence - The New York Times - Feb 14, 2017

Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials. [Farkas must be one of these four current and past officials]

American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.

But when Trump says that, two weeks later, his remark is labeled "incredible/unbelievable", no credible basis for the allegation.

There are leakers all over the place. At least four talking to the NYT. Farkas is a small potatoe (Hi Dan Quale!)

[zzwhale]

Obama and his inner circle plus Brennan and Clinton COMMITTED TREASON... Comey covered it up and the NSA participated in it...
WE HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT AND OUR COUNTRY IS A SHAM OF FREEDOM...
IT IS NOTHING BUT A POLICE STATE IN WAITING...
THE CONSPIRACY IS SUPPORTED BY THE MEDIA...
Trump has a gargantuan quagmire of imbedded traitors and political operatives to deal with...
WHAT TREASON: FAILING TO ENFORCE THE LAWS AND SECURE THE BORDER ALLOWING ACCORDING TO THE FBI 10000+ JIHADI OPERATIVES TO INFILTRATE THE USA. BY HAVING MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OPERATIVES DISPERSED IN THE WHITE HOUSE, THE PENTAGON, CIA HQ AND OTHER AGENCIES, BY PURGING FBI AND IMMIGRATION RECORDS ON MUSLIM INFILTRATORS AND NETWORKS, BY REFUSING TO ALLOW BORDER PATROL AND ICE DO THEIR JOBS, BUT CUTTING DEALS WITH THE FAST AND FURIOUS SINALOA CARTEL... BY CONSPIRING TO OVERTHROW A FRIENDLY GOVERNMENT (MUBARAK) AND MURDERING AN ALLY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST AL QUEDA (KHADAFFY) AND BY TRYING TO DEPOSE A LAWFUL GOVERNMENT (ASSAD) AND TAKING BRIBES FROM THE HOUSE OF SAUD, BY RANSOMING A TRAITOR (BERGDAHL) AND BY GIVING A TERRRORIST STATE (IRAN) BILLIONS OF DOLLARS....

OBAMA SHOULD BE HUNG FOR TREASON.......

[McGavin999]

I think the most important point is Farkas left in October 2015 and yet she knew about what took place in Nov, Dec of 2016. How does that happen? Does our government frequently share confidential Eyes Only data with former employees?

Since she worked for the Clinton administration how much campaign information was monitored

[thinden]

that’s a pretty good start to the list ;>)

[KSCITYBOY]

btt

[thingumbob]

Good catch!....

[Liz]

V-e-r-y crucial point.

You get this impression of sap-happy Democrats having “Surveillance Summits”..... enjoying catered refreshments and an open bar.....as top secret, classified info is being passed around

They pick and choose tidbits to bolster their campaigns.....and to destroy the opposition.

[dsrtsage]

Hillary Clinton AIDS, got my hopes up

[Cementjungle]

"Chris Farrell, of Judicial Watch, a conservative Washington-based government watchdog group that has filed a number of lawsuits related to the Clinton email scandal, said it is “outrageous” that Clinton and her staff would have access after they left the state department, and may still have access, after such egregious behavior."

[hal ogen]

In the dreams of many who support the Rule of Law, I surmise.

[thinden]

agree w/ chris farrell of Judicial watch: it is “outrageous” that Clinton and her staff would have access after they left the state department, and may still have access, after such egregious behavior."

[polymuser]

Imagine if for six months we enforced ALL laws in America.

We have to double our jails and prisons.
