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.

#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?

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.
