'Jim Cooper has asked the intel agencies to dig up dirt on us': Tucker Carlson claims Democrat lawmaker asked US government to investigate him over his criticism of Biden's Ukraine policy

Fox News host Tucker Carlson's criticism of the Biden administration's handling of the crisis in Ukraine has pushed a Democratic lawmaker to ask an intelligence briefer to dig up dirt on the top-ranked cable news program in an effort to find out if the show is tied to Russia.

Tennessee Rep. Jim Cooper, 65, asked the question during a closed-door briefing in Congress on Wednesday, Carlson revealed on his show Friday.

'We are not tied to Russia, of course,' Carlson said. 'It's a cable television program. He knows that. But that is not the point.'

I have no reason to doubt the veracity of Tucker’s claim even when I watched him last night making the claim. Here’s a factoid per se’: They did the same thing under ObamaIdiot, its just that this #notmypresident admiration just more openly blatant and brazen about doing such.

I beieve they do that anyway. Cooper is just signalling that he’ll be the bagman and middleman for the dirt. Schiff with ICIG Atkinson’s Ukraine dirt, McCain carrying Steele dossier, and no doubt much additional palace intrigue.

Typical Congress/Agency cooperation against the public.

In other words:

Jim Cooper is a Russian Mole and has been Putins bitch for a long long time and wants to use his position to disparage those that might be catching on to his quisling ways

All with the assistance of innumerable civil servants within those agencies acting “independently”.

(remember Joe the Plumber or the “hacking” of Zer0’s and the Beast’s passport records?)

Correction,
The passport fiasco was by employees of John Brennan’s firm Analysis Corp.
So instead let me add those civil servants at the National Archive that allowed Sandy Berger to repeatedly remove documents before saying anything.

I figured this would happen sooner rather than later. Tucker is a WMD of information and truth.

Yup, since the GOP legislature just split his seat three ways.

99% of Republicans are just Assistant DemonKKKrats, anyway, so what does it matter?

If proven true, Cooper needs to be EXPELLED from the House as that is the only way to end this crap.

Democrats don’t care that it’s illegal to have Intel agencies investigate and “dig up dirt” on their political opposition because ... well, they’re Democrats and their immune from any prosecution. Laws are for us little people you know.
