Evelyn Farkas goes Sergeant Schultz
Power Line by Scott Johnson

Evelyn Farkas is the former Obama administration/Department of Defense official who appeared on MSNBC earlier this month to explain and vouch for the page-one New York Times story on the Obama administration efforts to get disseminate word of the Trump team’s supposed connection to Russian “hacking.” Farkas left the Department of Defense in late 2015 to become a Clinton campaign adviser. I wrote about her in “A Times source outs herself.”

Appearing on MSNBC on March 2, Farkas spoke as a former Obama administration insider with personal knowledge of the game that was afoot: “I was urging my former colleagues, and, and, frankly speaking, the people on the Hill, it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can – get as much intelligence as you can – before President Obama leaves the administration. Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left.” And so on.

Appearing on CNBC yesterday, however, in the wake of the attention drawn to her comments, Farkas denied knowledge of anything. She only knew what she read in the newspapers.(like Obonzo) Who doesn’t remember Hogan’s Heroes? She went full Sergeant Schultz.

NewsBusters has posted the key video and transcript here. NewsBusters has also posted the video below of another Farkas appearance on MSNBC yesterday to the same effect.

Message: She knows nothing. She was not there. She did not even get up that morning.
