Evelyn Farkas's Six Revelations about Obama, Trump, and the Deep State

"...There are several telling insights to glean from Farkas' remarks.
First, Farkas here acknowledges that the Obama administration, essentially, had indeed been gathering intelligence, or spying, on private citizens.
Second, being the Democrat partisan that she obviously is, Farkas' intention in making these comments, and making them in the left-friendly venue of MSNBC, was to suggest that the Democrats' "The Russians Made Us Do It (Lose)" narrative has substance.
Yet, notice, Farkas never said that the intel proved anything so much as resembling "collusion" between Putin or "the Russians" and Trump. Had there been anything there, she would have done what no one has yet to do and offer at least a scintilla of evidence to substantiate this charge.
Third, in fact, Farkas never even mentions any correspondence between Trump and "the Russians." No, she instead references "Trump folks" and "the Trump staff" when talking about Russia.
Fourth, while Farkas obviously wanted for audiences to think that Obama's government discovered some nefarious connection between "Trump folks" and those dastardly Russians, the only allusion that she ever manages to make is to the "dealings" that she alleges transpired between these groups.
In other words, Farkas's wording here is profoundly vague.
Fifth, Farkas unwittingly confesses that she worried about "the Trump folks" discovering "how we knew what we knew..." Is it not eminently reasonable to infer from this statement that the "how" in question, the methods by which intelligence was supposedly gathered, consists of surveillance of the "Trump folks?"
Finally, Farkas admits to being worried about how the Trump administration would react when it found out "how we knew what we knew..." Who is this "we?" Farkas was no longer in the government as of 2015. Yet her choice of words would have us think that she is still very much involved in and allied with bureaucrats in the Deep State. Moreover, given her standing as a Democrat and her position in the Obama administration, it's all too sensible to think that Farkas' selection of the first person-plural in this context refers to Farkas and her fellow partisans that remain embedded in the bureaucracy over which her former boss presided.
Farkas has tried retreating from her comments. The left-leaning media has been busy spinning them away. But the cat is out of the bag:
The Deep State, under Obama, surveilled American citizens, in this case, Trump and his "folks." They wanted the information that they had gathered to be as widely disseminated - leaked - as possible.
