| There's Something Odd About the NSA's Response to Tucker Carlson's Spying Allegations? |
| 2021-07-01 |
| [Townhall] He dropped the allegation last night. Fox News’s Tucker Carlson says a whistleblower came forward to allege that he and some of his staff are being spied on by the National Security Agency. They’re monitoring their communications to find something, anything, to remove his show from the air. Now, there is no solid evidence to back this up, but there is history. The FBI did spy on the Trump campaign in 2016. The FBI did falsify documents to obtain spy warrants on Americans. There has been unmasking of Trump officials on NSA intelligence reports. They’ve done this before and now it seems they’ve restarted their dirty tricks campaign. What’s worse is that no one is really denying it. |

| #5 Ref #3: Exactly! I believe the term is.....incidental collection. As I understand, once a judge signs your fishing permit, the Two Hops rule comes into play: you are allowed to surveil the target, anyone who talks to the target, PLUS anyone who talks to those guys. As NoMo says "the net effect is indistinguishable from just plain monitoring". All nice and legal. |

| #3 Five Eyes targeting someone proximate to Tucker or his sources and then information available on a shared classified system? All the "protections" met and yet, the net effect is indistinguishable from just plain monitoring. And who knows how much the other members in London were helped discern the threat to the UK from within the US that was proximate to Tucker for incidental collection? |

#1  Those who look closely will see something else: that the NSA, while stating that Tucker “has never been an intelligence target,” does not categorically deny having his electronic communications.Their "target" are his sources. Carlson very likely has well placed US Government sources. Take away or neutralize his sources and he soon becomes redundant. |
