Congress pressures US spy agencies as Tucker Carlson feuds with NSA

[Washington Examiner] U.S. intelligence officials face bipartisan congressional pressure to explain their use of surveillance powers, following a rebuke from a federal judge and Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s high-profile dispute with the National Security Agency.

"Our institutions are only as good as the American public’s confidence in them," Florida Sen. Marco Rubio wrote a top intelligence official, requesting an investigation of Carlson’s allegation the NSA violated his privacy. "The NSA publicly responded to Mr. Carlson’s allegations with a statement on Twitter that frankly only created more questions."

Rubio, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, did not dispute the NSA’s denial of wrongdoing in Carlson’s case. Yet, Rubio’s request for "a formal inquiry" into Carlson’s complaint coincided with a sharper rebuke of the FBI, which has drawn bipartisan ire due to a federal judge’s revelation of "pervasive" misuse of data collected by the NSA.

"We each share an obligation to protect Americans’ civil liberties," Indiana Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz and California Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren wrote in a Tuesday letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray. "However, the FBI has repeatedly violated the civil liberties of Americans through widespread misuse of Section 702 data."

Given all the Upper level Staff and Key journalist changes. Being either setup, told to shutup, or terminated or not renewed.

It wouldn't surprise me if the FOX CEO/CIO & Board have gone to the dark side. An working with the NSA, the JUNTA and China to better their own goals and survival chances.
