Will Fox's news division investigate Tucker's claim that the NSA is preparing to leak his private communications?

Tucker Carlson claims he is being monitored by the NSA, including his personal texts and emails pic.twitter.com/YDLvbEJTYh  nikki mccann ramrez (@NikkiMcR) June 29, 2021  Theres no way to confirm or debunk what hes alleging given the paucity of information, obviously. But if someone inside the government was able to recite information from Carlsons own texts and emails, thats hair-raising. The only innocent explanation I can think of is that someone whom Tuckers been chatting with forwarded those texts and emails to the whistleblower, whos now trying to deceive Carlson for unknown reasons into believing that he got them from the NSA instead. It would be bad but not surprising if the U.S. government were snooping on reporters communications to try to sniff out a leak. That happened in the Obama and Trump administrations. But it was the DOJ, not the NSA, that was responsible in those instances. As Tucker says, the NSA isnt supposed to be accessing American citizens communications. (Although it sometimes pick up those communications incidentally if an American is in contact with a foreign person whom the agency is surveilling.) And no government agency is supposed to be scheming to leak those communications in order to ruin a political enemy, needless to say. That wouldnt be a scandal, it would be a mega-scandal. It would destroy Bidens image as the kindly old compromiser just trying to heal the partisan divide, as his administration would be guilty of partisan ruthlessness that even Trumps didnt stoop to. The head of the NSA would need to resign over it, for starters. And any political operatives in the White House who ordered it should resign and face criminal charges as warranted. A scoop like this is the story of a lifetime for a hard news reporter, and luckily for the Fox News news division, their most highly rated anchor just dropped it in their laps. If they can run it down and confirm it, its potential Pulitzer material. If any reputable news network confirmed the NSA was spying on one of its top employees, as @TuckerCarlson claimed, itd be a huge story. But I searched Foxs transcripts for this morning and dont see any of the networks shows covering it  not even Fox & Friends. Says a lot.  Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) June 29, 2021  I checked the FoxNews.com homepage at 11:30 and found this:  An alleged scandal that might end Bidens presidency if it could be connected to the president himself isnt mentioned. Even the small video highlight from Tuckers show thats featured on the left focuses on a segment about the suburbs, not the claim that the U.S. government is breaking the law by spying on a prominent critic in hopes of destroying him. A WaPo reporter remembered today that the last sensational claim made by Carlson, that the FBI may have surreptitiously ring-led the January 6 insurrection, has also gone largely unnoticed by the professional reporters at the network. Its curious that theyre so incurious about major scoops being delivered to their doorstep by their networks biggest star. Evidently Carlson has believed for awhile that his communications are being monitored, even back when Trump was in office. Last October he reported that a packet of documents about the Biden family had mysteriously gone missing while in transit from New York to L.A. via UPS. A Salon reporter contacted Carlson to ask him about it:  When I asked him about that in a text later that night, he told me that of course he had made other copies. Hi, Tucker, its Roger, I wrote. Or did anyone take photos? Of course, Carlson replied. The point is, someones reading our texts, he said, suggesting that the package was intercepted because his communications were being monitored. Another big story potentially, left unexplored by the Fox News news team. (UPS ended up locating the missing documents, by the way.) A glaring possibility here is that the news side of the network just doesnt believe the sensational claims Carlson makes. They file it away under sh*t Tucker says, maybe, and then forget about it. They should at least want to speak to the alleged whistleblower to get a sense of his credibility in case hes telling the truth. Ill leave you with this from natsec lawyer Brad Moss, whos worked with many whistleblowers before. If theres anything to Tuckers claim, it should be pursued legally. This is an open offer to the alleged NSA whistleblower  If in fact you have evidence of improper or unlawful collection of the comms of @TuckerCarlson call me and I will see if I can assist you in making proper, lawful disclosures through the approved channels.
