So was Snowden! Remember him. He is supposed to be some real mastermind criminal because he exposed the corrupt Obama Bureaucrats for what they really are. Enemies of freedom loving Americans. But really its ok if you want to continue to be a stooge for the repressive Regressive agenda. Your mental incapacity shows with ever post you type.

If an American reaches out to the Russian embassy, or known Putin intermediaries, then the message will be intercepted by the NSA. Surely Tucker Carlson knew this & it’s certainly no surprise to anyone with an inkling of understanding of rudimentary intelligence gathering. It does not, however, substantiate Carlson’s self-serving claims of being targeted by the NSA.

I hope you are getting paid to post this

His own network refuses to back his claims and stated in court that “[Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "

Yet here you dumbasses are continually hanging on his every hyperbolic word… and arguing them as fact.

Karl Marx has spoken!

The NSA never spies on the media and political enemies! Nothing to see here!

They have already admitted they read his Emails you liar.

Who are the NSA’s political enemies?

Poll: Majority of Voters Think the Government is Spying on Journalists

Quote:A majority of voters think the government is playing “peeping Tom” when it comes to journalists’ privacy in the United States.

According to a Rasmussen poll released Tuesday, 59 percent of voters believe it is somewhat likely the U.S. government spies on critical journalists and political opponents, including 36 percent who think it’s very likely.

The poll report went on:

After [Fox News host Tucker Carlson] said on his June 28 broadcast that the National Security Agency [NSA] was intercepting his communications, many news organizations dismissed this claim as implausible. However, most voters have long believed the U.S. government spies on political opponents – in January 2019, 61 percent thought such surveillance was at least somewhat likely.

In late June, Carlson said a government whistleblower told him he was being spied on. The whistleblower reportedly “revealed details of a story they had been working on that could have only been known through texts and emails,” Breitbart News previously reported. The NSA responded to Carlson saying he was not a target, but they did not deny intercepting his electronic communications.

For those who do believe the government keeps tabs on journalists, 61 percent do not trust the government’s judgement in such surveillance on U.S. citizens.

A majority of voters on both sides of the political aisle tend to agree that government spying is at least somewhat likely, including 66 percent of Republicans, 52 percent of Democrats, and 57 percent of unaffiliated voters. However, the rate of Republicans who believe spying is very likely trumps that of Democrats at 44 percent compared to 25 percent.

Young people are more apt to believe the government is surveilling domestic opposition, with 72 percent of voters under 40 saying it is somewhat likely. Fifty-six percent of people 40-64 years old and 46 percent of voters 65 and older think spying is possible.

The NSA’s spying campaigns have been the subject of much controversy for nearly a decade.

In 2013, former NSA contractor Edward Snowden released thousands of documents revealing how the NSA secretly collected millions of Americans’ telephone records. In 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled the NSA’s actions violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and may well have been unconstitutional, Reuters reported.

More recently, host of the America First radio show Sebastian Gorka warned Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow of more potential NSA spying during SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily.

“The Biden administration is working with the Senate and House intelligence committees to make amendments to an executive order from the 1980s — it’s called 12333 — to permit the NSA and the CIA to target U.S. citizens as domestic terror threats,” Gorka said. “What they’re doing on Capitol Hill, right now, in closed session, they’re trying to expand — legally — the warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens by the NSA and the CIA to target Trump supporters as a made-up threat to America.”

According to the poll, those who strongly support Biden are less likely to think the federal government is spying on Americans, with 39 percent saying it is somewhat possible. Out of voters who disapprove of Biden, 75 percent think the government is spying on journalists.

When Biden was first elected, 70 percent of voters were worried about the government spying on American citizens and 40 percent expected domestic government spying to increase under his administration, another poll found.

The survey of 1,000 U.S. likely voters was conducted June 30-July 1, 2021. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

And BTM and WSME are exactly right. Where are you RWT and Mensa? Do either of you have the spine to honestly address this latest damning report?

The likelihood is you both will either disappear or attempt to tap dance around it. It’s what progressives do.

Comment on more rantings from tucker himself...along with twitter dopes like Jack P.? Yeah...no.

When we actually know what happened here, then as I said earlier, if any of this was not above board I'll gladly condemn it.

My guess is that tucker used intermediaries who were under surveillance by the FBI or NSA to contact Putin and got roped in. That being said, none of that would make leaking any of his personal information to the press appropriate. But we have no actual proof of that yet, right?

So what about it Tom? Ready to condemn? Or were your words as hollow as most everyone on this forum has charged?

Progressives, who lack even a glimmer of integrity, make it very difficult to defend liberalism.

Just admit it and act like it’s all just standard procedure. Nothing to see here.

BUT, there is that small detail of it being leaked to the press. Don’t let the deep state distract attention from where it should be focused.

Condemn what?

There is no evidence he was targeted by the NSA.

There is no evidence anyone was trying to take him off the air.

There is no evidence of who leaked his name.

There is no evidence of any of his emails or communications being leaked to the public.

He was caught up in this because his name was mentioned in communications between third parties and someone unmasked him. Unmasking is a routine procedure that past administrations have done thousands of times...and as posted earlier, the trump administration unmasked at a higher rate than Obama had.

Quote:An examination by the spy agency, prompted by congressional inquiries, found that the Fox News host’s communications were not targeted — as the NSA has previously stated publicly — nor intercepted through so-called “incidental collection,” where the U.S. government sometimes obtains the emails or phone calls of Americans in contact with a foreign target under surveillance, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Correspondence between intelligence agencies and oversight authorities are conducted through classified means.

Instead, the nation’s top electronic spy agency found that Carlson was mentioned in communications between third parties and his name was subsequently revealed through “unmasking,” a process in which relevant government officials can request the identities of American citizens in intelligence reports to be divulged provided there is an official reason, such as helping them make sense of the intelligence documents they are reviewing.

The NSA obscures the names of Americans mentioned in its finished products in an effort to protect their privacy.

The sources declined to comment on who mentioned Carlson in their communications.

NSA review finds that Tucker Carlson’s communications were not targeted

Until you show that someone unmasked him for nefarious reasons or did so against the normal SOP of unmasking...or that someone is shown to have leaked this story in violation, there's nothing here.

Tom, seriously, you are a complete tool. It’s beyond obvious.

BUT, you are an excellent tool for the left. Never admit failure.

CommieTom. Not a day goes by that this pathetic cretin doesn't show who he really is. I am telling you guys. Put that little bit ch on ignore and be done with him.

Yep. I promise you won't miss him.

This just in NSA Clears itself of wrong doing..... Film at 11.


We didn't target Tucker Carlson, because we said so.....

Again, please feel free at any time to cite all your evidence that tucker was surveilled with the intent to release his private information and take him off the air as he claimed.......

Are you questioning whether he was surveilled or what was the intent?

No, you haven't. You most likely got fed a line of bull**** from one of your GOP cronies in congress.

Quote:“a whistleblower within the US government who reached out to warn us that the NSA, the National Security Agency, is monitoring our electronic communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air.” ~ tucker

No, they weren't and aren't. At least with the information we know currently.

And with the information that WAS available you scoffed at the possibility there was surveillance of TC. There is no reason to spy on TC and then leak it to the news other than to damage his reputation. A journalist-opinion cable show host is of course trying to get interviews with world leaders. There is absolutely NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THAT. Maybe in this case you should produce the evidence that they have unmasked and leaked information about any other news show host such as Rachael Maddow or Chuck Todd. Surely one of those “journalist” have sought an interview with Putin if they are doing their job.

Because it was next to impossible that the NSA would spy on a moron tv mouthpiece and then release his personal information in an attempt to destroy his career. And so far the lack of evidence has shown that indeed, this never happened.

And there is NO evidence that he was spied on. N O N E.

But I am quite interested on why nobody here seems to have any concern on who actually leaked this information to tucker in the first place. That was likely the only "crime" committed here so far!

Now that is squirming right there! Especially coming from you. TC was warned. The evidence is that he was right and you were wrong again. Just as you are now. Either you know it or you don’t. Either you are a liar or a fool.
