Farkas: People Are Leaking Because They Are Worried About Trump

‘I knew they were trying to help get information to the Hill’

EXCERPT:

FARKAS: "I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior 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 staff, the Trump staff’s dealing with Russians, that they would try to compromise those sources and methods, meaning we would no longer have access to that intelligence. So I became very worried, because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia. So, then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill." 
BRZEZINSKI: "A lot going on today." 
FARKAS: "Yeah." 
BRZEZINSKI: "Mark Halperin."
FARKAS: "But that’s why you have the leaking." 
BRZEZINSKI: "Exactly." 
FARKAS: "People are worried."
