The NSA Does Not Deny Reading Tucker Carlson's Emails
[THEFEDERALIST] The NSA denied ‘targeting’ Tucker Carlson, but did not deny reading his emails. The NSA also did not deny that it may have accessed his communications through ‘incidental collection.’
Nor did they admit to it. Re "incidental collection": if I drive through your neighborhood on the way to the grocery store, I'm not spying on you even if I pass your house. Mountain = molehill?

#1 Clapper pretty much answered the question in 2013 at minute point 6:42.
Clapper's words: "inadvertently collect."

DNI Clapper tells Wyden the NSA does not collect data on millions of Americans

It may be instructive to note that electronic collection can also be detected and monitored. The examination of 'targets' of detected monitoring can provide clues regarding intelligence shortfalls or gaps. Knowing what the enemy does NOT know (intelligence gaps) provides a window into his level of knowledge or lack thereof, on a given topic or area. The product of such collection can also be characterized as "incidental collection."

#2 “In a move apparently unprecedented for a military officer, Rogers, without notifying superiors, traveled to New York to meet with Trump on Thursday at Trump Tower,” the Post reported.”That caused consternation at senior levels of the administration, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal personnel matters.”

The following day candidate Donald Trump relocated his election committee from Trump Towers to an alternate secure location. The media has pretty much 'memory holed' the relocation and the reported incidents surrounding the move.
