On Morning Joe with Mika, one of Obama’s top officials actually admits that they spied on Trump and sought to disseminate that information as quickly as possible before Trump took over the White House:
FOX NEWS – A former top Obama administration official has acknowledged efforts by her colleagues to gather intelligence on Trump team ties to Russia 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, 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,” Farkas, who is now a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, said.
“Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left, so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy … that the Trump folks – if they 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.”

Did you hear that at the end of her comments?
“That’s why you have the leaking…”
Amazing. She said right there that they were spying on Trump officials yet the media doesn’t give a damn. All they are about is tarring and feathering Nunes for daring to admit that he’s seen reports that may validate the spying.
