Tucker Carlson reported that a whistleblower inside the government alerted him that his emails were being read by the NSA, and proved it to him by reading from them.
He then said the NSA planned to leak his emails to the media, to get his show "taken off the air." That might be an ambitious goal.
Let's say that is a colloquial, inexact statement of their intent.
Let's say maybe that they just planned to leak the emails to discredit him.
An insistent critic who threatens their power and threatens the Ruling Class whom they serve.
Today Tucker Carlson reported that a journalist that he likes and trust told him that he had received the leaked emails.
Guess what just happened? Jonathan Swann at Axios just "reported" on the contents of the surveilled emails.
THE EMAILS WERE LEAKED TO THE PRESS, JUST AS TUCKER CARLSON'S WHISTLEBLOWER TOLD THEM THEY WOULD BE.
The emails might have been surveilled "incidentally," because Tucker was reaching out to US-based Russia representatives to get an interview with Putin.
You know -- what journalists used to do.
But there is no innocent explanation for why Tucker Carlson's name is included in the emails. Remember, in cases of so-called "incidental" collection of US citizens' data, you're supposed to "minimize" exposure of the person who was spied on by redacting him name and calling him something like US CITIZEN NO. 1.
This is also called "masking."
Here, though, Tucker Carlson's name is de-anonymized -- "unmasked," as Obama officials preferred it -- and left right on the supposedly "incidentally" collected emails.
No effort is made to keep his identity anonymous. Quite the opposite.
