Tucker Carlson says he’s filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in response to an alleged federal whistleblower telling him that the NSA is spying on his private communications.
Carlson alleges the NSA plans to leak his private communications to get his show canceled.
It’s not that far fetched considering the NSA was spying on us all.
Tucker said last night:
“The whistleblower who is in a position to know repeated back to us information about a story that we are working on that could have only come directly from my texts and emails. There’s no other possible source for that information. Period. They did it for political reasons. The Biden administration is spying on us. We have confirmed that."
National Review’s David Harsanyi points out that for all that we know the NSA and the intelligence community has done it’s entirely plausible.
“...history tells us it is wholly conceivable that intelligence and law-enforcement agencies would spy on a television personality. They spy all the time. They do it illegally. They do it for partisan reasons. They do it to lawmakers. They do it to journalists.
It wasn’t that long ago when Barack Obama’s director of national intelligence, James Clapper, famously lied to Congress about the agency’s snooping on American citizens. “Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions of Americans?” asked Ron Wyden in 2013. “No, sir,” Clapper said under oath, “. . . Not wittingly.” Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden exposed this as a lie.
It was John Brennan’s CIA that ran an illicit spying operation against the United States Senate, with five agents breaking into Senate Intelligence Committee files — and then Brennan lied about it to lawmakers and the public. When asked about the hacking, Brennan claimed that “nothing could be further from the truth. I mean we wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s just beyond the — you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do.” Do you think people who hack into Senate files — and get away with it — will have any ethical compunction about spying on a TV personality?
Obama also weaponized the NSA for partisan reasons, abusing its foreign-intelligence-collection authority to spy on pro-Israel Jewish-American groups and lawmakers in connection with its Iran-deal negotiations. It was also Obama’s FBI that fabricated FISA-warrant applications — 390 problems were found in 39 of the 42 applications, “including unverified, inaccurate, or inadequately supported facts, as well as typographical errors,” according to a subsequent IG report — to spy on the opposition campaign over trumped-up “collusion” charges that were largely propelled by a partisan oppo-research document...
Not one person paid any real price for any of the actions above. The Brennans and Clappers of the world were rewarded for their corruption with lecterns on cable television, from which they proceeded to lecture American people about the importance of patriotism and integrity. And just as the specter of terrorism or “Russia!” gave agencies the justification for domestic spying, today, it seems, they have “white supremacy.”
