It's Official: The NSA Unmasked Tucker Carlson

[Townhall] Three weeks after Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused the National Security Agency of reading his communications, the agency has confirmed he was unmasked.

"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 Record reports.

"For the NSA to unmask Tucker Carlson or any journalist attempting to secure a newsworthy interview is entirely unacceptable and raises serious questions about their activities as well as their original denial, which was wildly misleading," a Fox News spokesman released in a statement about the developments.

Yes - Joe Biden personally unmasked General Flynn and now someone? in Biden administration unmasked Tucker Carlson.

It should be illegal to spy on Americans without a warrant. https://t.co/ZrNn31daU1

#1 How it once worked: An NSA intercept consideredof value by the NSA is circulated through the intel community. An analyst wants to know the name or names of American subjects redacted in same. A request is sent to NSA. A committee in NSA reviews in minute detail the request. The name or names may or may not be given, but the person who requests the name is known and had to jump through hoops to get it. On the other hand, a NSA intercept is reviewed in-house, and the name of an American citizen and the intercept is leaked (it doesn't matter by whom or to whom), the actor is subject to dismissal and prosecution. The reason that prosecution so rarely occurs is because the intercept is explosive and its revelation considered to damage national security. In the case of Tucker Carlson, that is absurd and the leaker should be prosecuted.

#2 LOL as if the NSA follows laws we pass to control them. That's a wonderfully quaint idea. One with no basis in reality.
