Tucker Carlson claimed that the NSA leaked contents of his private emails to journalists, during a Wednesday morning appearance on Mornings With Maria.

Carlson alleged last week that the National Security Agency had monitored his private communications, which, if true, would be a massive scandal. Carlson’s claim has been met with skepticism. And curiously, his bombshell allegation was mostly ignored by the rest of Fox News in the days that followed. So Carlson’s appearance on Fox Business with anchor Maria Bartiromo is notable.

The interview opened with the Fox prime time host recapping his previous allegations. Then, he made some news.

“Yesterday I learned, that — and this is going to come out soon — that NSA, leaked the contents of my e-mail to journalists in an effort to discredit me,” Carlson claimed. “I know this because I got a call from one saying ‘oh, this is what your e-mail was about.”

1. Tucker Carlson and Matt Gaetz got caught on an intercept planning a sexcapade in another ...

... country in the Caribbean.

NSA intercepts have caught a lot of sex criminals in the last 10 years.

[dawg day]

3. Pretty sure the NSA isn't involved.

Something is coming out, and blaming it on the NSA is just so he can then claim the sex tape or 1/6 collaboration was fabricated by the agency's massive sex tale forgery unit, lol.

[marble falls]

5. NSA does not monitor communication US to US. For the NSA to be involved requires ...

... at least one of the communicators to be out of the US.

NSA turns evidence it has of crimes over to FBI and other law enforcement.

Neither NSA or CIA are law enforcement, nor do they "operate" in the US against US citizens.

If Tucker was approached by law enforcement over information he knows was in an e-mail or cell call that was either one person in the US and both parties off-shore - it is a reasonable guess that NSA had some part in finding it and turning it over. It'd be a guess, but it'd also be a good possibility.

[dawg day]

16. It sounds like... not that we can believe him...

That it was a journalist who approached him, not the law enforcement. I don't know. He's trying so hard to lie.

[edhopper]

26. Snowden claimed differently

said the protections were so narrow and out of date that they were no protections at all.
That said I doubt the NSA gives a fig about Tucker.

[pnwmom]

28. Snowden the traitor who escaped to Russia? n/t

[marble falls]

32. That's about as fine a point as there could be. +1!

[edhopper]

60. But was what he said

not true?

[edhopper]

59. To avoid being thrown in a dark hole

yes.
But the important thing is none of his claims have been disputed.
Traitor or not, he spoke the truth about what the NSA was doing.

[marble falls]

61. So you think Barrack Obama, and Joe Biden are the bad guys and 45 is OK cause he wanted ...

... to cut the little weasel loose.

Did Barrack and Joe want to throw him in the same hole or different holes?

[edhopper]

63. No

I am simply discussing. what he reported about the NSA spying on Americans.
What justice he deserved is beside the point and not what I am talking about.

[marble falls]

64. Who wants to put him in a hole that Barrack and Joe don't want him put into????

His "information" regarding the NSA should be considered for what it was: the report of a four-year veteran of an NSA contractor. If his proof was so good, why hasn't he shared it? Why hasn't he come back to put the lie to the NSA? Why haven't any of his charges gotten traction?

I know two 30yr+ NSA vets who think he's a self serving, self promoting bag of wind.

Who do you think is trying to "get" Snowden?

[pnwmom]

65. He released an untold number of files. The only way to prove the inaccuracy of his claims

would be to allow inspection of original files, which was obviously never going to happen.

[edhopper]

66. This is about the NSA spying on US citizens

Snowden showed this is not true. They do monitor domestic communications. That is all I am saying.
Not here to debate the guilt of Snowden.

[pnwmom]

67. What he claimed to show was meta-data, not monitoring contents of calls. nt

[tblue37]

48. See my post #44 below. He essentially admitted he was emailing with a an NSA target, and said

he has every right to do so.

[ScratchCat]

6. Exactly

Its a dead giveaway. That and the entire post-Trump RW plan is to just pretend to be victims of fake "crimes" and whatnot.

[PsakiPswirli]

4. Ewww...

There will be a PTSD claim for an unfortunate NSA analyst. Tucker's snow white ass naked....except for his socks and wingtips.

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. And his bow tie!

[PsakiPswirli]

24. Attached to his choker collar...triple ewww....

[malaise]

30. That would be perfect

Oops and there was that dinner

[marble falls]

35. I've never seen anyone come so close to coming unglued without acrually going to pieces ...

... as Tucker did at that interview. If he'd have been wearing a bow tie it would have started spinnng.

[malaise]

39. LOL

[C_U_L8R]

2. Well, it's definitely not a sex tape

[TheBlackAdder]

8. There might be some sexy-time things that are kept hidden.

.

Not saying any more, as it's purely unsubstantiated gossip. We'll see what this is about soon enough.

.

[marble falls]

37. I think they got caught with Gaetz in Costa Rica calling or e-mailing Tucker C that he had ...

... an underage girl waiting for him.

[marble falls]

40. I mean I'm not saying this, I've heard other people saying it. The fact that neither party ...

... has denied any of it, does make it seem to be true. I'm not saying, just recounting what I've heard a lot lately. It kinda makes you think, "Hmm ... how about that!"

[TheBlackAdder]

51. Yep, people are saying. I just can't remember who, other than just people.

[marble falls]

53. A lot of them. You know what they say, "where there's smoke, there's a weenie roast!"

That lady is more bananas than Harry Belafonte's career.

18. The combined IQ in that split-screen easily rivals my shoe size.

Doesn't really exceed my shoe size, but it does rival it.

[LiberalLovinLug]

27. I can't stand to look at her, Maria Bartiromo

She just looks disgusting to me. With her inflated botox lips and sleazy makeup. And of course her wilful ignorance style reporting. I would be creeped out if I were in the same room.

[Wounded Bear]

9. So Tucker is getting "Clintonned?"

Or should I say he's being "Hillaried?"

[LonePirate]

10. Why haven't journalists reported on the contents of those "leaked" emails?

Either he’s lying that the emails were intercepted and released

OR

There’s nothing worthy of journalists’ time and effort within his emails

OR

Given his public downplaying of the emails and his defensive posturing, he has a skeleton in his closet that will soon become public by some means.

Take your pick I suppose.

[PatSeg]

31. Yes, someone could be threatening

to release his email(s), maybe even a recipient of said emails. He has said some pretty outrageous things publicly, so I would assume that the email contents must be really incriminating.

[Midnight Writer]

36. Maybe because real journalists, unlike Tucker, have professional responsibility.

They are perhaps fact checking, verifying sources, weighing the contents and debating if the release is newsworthy or a violation of standards or ethics.

Tucker doesn't understand those things. He just likes to throw his linguini against the wall to see if it sticks.

[ChubbyStar]

68. That last sentence....I've been trying to compose myself but I am still howling

Thank you, you are very clever.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. LOL! But...the emails!

[Skittles]

70. the irony is delicious

[Deep State Witch]

13. The NSA Doesn't Leak

No, F*cker. The National Security Agency does not leak the contents of emails. In fact, Reality Winner, an NSA contractor, is in jail for doing something similar.

[Turbineguy]

14. My advice

Don't take on the NSA unless you are nobler than Jesus Christ.

[marble falls]

46. The long term NSA people I know are the sraightest fucking arrows as a group, I've ever ...

... seen. All of them ex-Air Force and a bunch of them Mormons. They have the most black/white judgement system. It would be bad if they really wanted to look at you. My 30 year ex-CIA spouse seems like a socialist next to them.

I'm like Dharma when I attend functions. I'm tolerated mostly. Nobody asked me to join the Masons, but they will sell me tickets to the chili dinner, the fish fry, the spaghetti dinner, hamburger day, bbq brisket.

They use Wolf Brand chili for their chili, fer pete's sake. HEB heat n serve brisket.

I need to go back to Ohio.

[RockRaven]

15. Sex or treason?

FUX viewers don't seem to mind treason, so I suppose it is a sex scandal.

[dawg day]

19. Matt Gaetz said they had dinner together

Gaetz, his college girl girlfriend.
Tucker and his wife.

Tuck acted like he'd never heard of such a thing.
It felt like Gaetz was reminding him of some encounter, like "remember when you paid me $ for an hour of her time?"

Greenberg was apparently doing something like that.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

17. And who was the journalist? Keith Olbermann?

"Olbermann was correct, so he must've been told by the NSA!"

Learn how to think logically, Tucker.

Olbermann's deduction:

21. Communications with his boss in Moscow?

I'll bet he gets a lot of Roubles for pushing TrumPutin bullshit.

[-misanthroptimist]

22. Didn't I just hear a story that the Russians hacked the RNC?

Can't help but wonder if there's a connection.

[lindysalsagal]

23. Oh, damn. You're right!

Tucker told them what to look for?????

[hunter]

25. So we're about to find out what kind of fucker this tucker is?

[TygrBright]

29. Cucker's gonna find out what happens when you've systematically destroyed your own credibility. n/t

[Mr. Sparkle]

33. I was thinking, maybe, its a distraction from him not voting for Trump in the last election

[PatSeg]

34. Wait a minute Tucker

How stupid are you that you would include incriminating information in a damn email?

I still don't understand these people, who in this day and age don't know better than to use email and text messages to send sensitive or compromising information and photos. Maybe if you're fifteen years old, but you'd think worldly, grown adults would have more sense. It is like they ask to get caught.

Then we have insurrectionists posting their acts of treason on social media! Idiocy seems to be highly contagious.

[Mr. Ected]

38. If your hands are clean, Tuck, why don't you release the email yourself?

Instead of instantly trying to discredit....the NSA (!) of all things!

I'm sure there are a million people out there willing to ignore whatever treachery is contained in that email since Carlson has so effortlessly painted the NSA as the villain, yet they would be riveted and revolting if that email came from, say, Hunter Biden.

Take a taste of your own medicine, you hack. The pendulum is beginning to swing the other way.

[Iggo]

41. But your emails, Fucker.

[Traildogbob]

42. I hope

Whatever criminal shit sticks to him, it destroys his ass, sends him to the O’Reilly free range pastures of ex Fox shits holes, and he goes through Swanson inheritance so fast, he can only afford to eat Swanson meals. But not a microwave to heat em. With paper forks and straws.

[Mr. Ected]

43. I'm opposed to the death penalty

So I think this may actually violate Tucker's 8th amendment rights. LOL!!

[Traildogbob]

45. 🤜🤛

That slop will kill ya for sure.

[ChubbyStar]

69. You are too kind with the paper forks and straws

I want him to eat Swanson slop on all fours out of a bowl.

[tblue37]

44. He's also squawking that he has every right to email anyone he wants to email, even if

that person is a target of an NSA investigation.

Yep. They've got something on Tucker.

😁

[marble falls]

49. He thinks too highly of himself not to have done something really stupid. He'll cop a plea ...

... and roll on his pal, Matty.

[Ford_Prefect]

47. Several things we can be sure of: 1. This has nothing to do with the NSA. They don't do enforcement.

2. TC is facing down something he KNOWS will be career ending if not incarcerating.

3. Nothing he has mentioned publicly is true...with the caveat that it may involve email he sent or received.

TC is like the rest of the lying liars who lie for a living in that everything he says is intended to obscure truth and deflect focus away from him. He so thoroughly enjoys manipulating other people's perception that he cannot deal with the real anymore. Like TFG he's gotten where he is by using propaganda to empower himself and abuse and confuse others.

[ScratchCat]

52. No, it seems pretty clear

That this involves some emails sent to someone who was under surveillance by the NSA. This could include a variety of people residing outside the USA.

[Ford_Prefect]

57. So far as I can see it is only TC who claims the NSA released his email.

He is the only person who mentions NSA so far.
How would he know that they did that?

I have no reason at all to believe TC on any of this. If and when the alleged email becomes public, assuming the copy we see is accurate, then we might have some basis to consider how it became so. Who released it and why are questions to ask at that point.

I don't doubt that NSA could read his email and might chose to do so under circumstances involving a foreign person or entity. It just makes no sense that they would leak it in the way he has alleged. They aren't in enforcement and they don't have an axe to grind with TC as far as we know. If they were interested in hurting him in some way there are far more effective methods available to them.

If they are monitoring someone else why would they blow that by releasing or leaking the alleged email? Intelligence work isn't about enforcement. It is about quietly finding out who is doing what and then using that information to gain an advantage, perhaps by manipulating the people involved.

[herding cats]

50. This part from the article is really weird.

“There was one other person who knew I sent that e-mail, and it was my executive producer Justin Wells, that’s it, and I didn’t mention it to anybody else, including my wife. There is no possibility that anyone else could have known then again yesterday I go if the a call before air like 7:15, from a journalist I know and like, not many left, but do I like this person he repeated back to me he got it, because the NSA leaked it, so, yes, entirely real.”

First off why would he be so sure the recipient wasn't hacked, or shared it? Secondly, why would his executive producer know?

[ScratchCat]

55. Why would his Executive Producer Know?

Simple deduction would indicate the idiots were lining something up for his show. Given how shaken he is by this, it would seem to be someone under criminal investigation by our Federal Government. If the NSA picked this up, then the person resides outside of the USA. If he made up the bit about the NSA, then they are domestic. Use your imagination.

[PufPuf23]

54. Who is Tucker Carlson's immediate supervisor at Fox? nt

[stillcool]

56. I remember a while back when he had Matt Gaetz on...

"I'm not the only person on screen right now who has been falsely accused of a terrible sex act. You were accused of something you did not do" -- Matt Gaetz to Tucker Carlson"

58. Aside from the fact that I can't stand him, he sounds absolutely frantic...

Something sure pressed his panic button.

[alphafemale]

62. Hey you stupid Tucker? Want to know how to stop damaging news about you?

A good way to keep damaging news about you from surfacing is to not do illegal or terrible things.

Or at the very least to not brag about such things on email and social media.

I know it is a difficult thing to comprehend you stupid Tuck.
