The White House has "more evidence of wrongdoing" against members of the Obama administration than anything found in special counsel Robert Mueller's three-year, $40 million "phony collusion" investigation, presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway declared Friday, while discussing the expanding reports concerning the FBI's surveillance of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
"We already have more questions than answers and the idea that the people at the Department of Justice and others cannot be looking at this while the president leads us through the global pandemic, the financial and medical crisis is ridiculous," Conway said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends."
She further explained that on Jan. 5, 2017, while members of the Trump administration were having lunch with Valerie Jarrett, the then-senior presidential adviser, members of the Obama administration, including Vice President Joe Biden, were "cooking up their scheme in the Oval Office."
Then, in or around Jan. 13, Joe Biden, "who wants to be your president," was asking for the unmasking of reports, which is done to reveal what U.S. officials' names are involved in records of phone calls with foreign sources being surveilled, said Conway.
"I think it's very serious trouble when you have such blatant political corruption at the highest level of the U.S. government," said Conway. "It's something I never thought I would see in my lifetime."
Conway said she knows the scheme was cooked up on Jan. 5, because on Jan. 6 then-FBI Director James Comey came to meet with Trump at Trump Tower.
"(He) didn't come for two months but he came on January 6 as part of the intelligence briefing and he was tasked to then afterward sort of pull aside President-Elect Trump and mentioned this ridiculous dossier let me remind everybody, the Russian dossier, a fancy French word for a load of crap."
She called on the members of Obama's administration to come forward and confess.
"What do you have to hide?" she said. "Stop insulting everybody . . . explain why Americans should not be concerned that this is what you were doing while you should have been helping us to have a peaceful transition."
