NSA watchdog begins internal investigation after agency denied then admitted it WAS monitoring Tucker Carlson's emails
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 10 2021 | RACHEL SHARP

The internal watchdog for the National Security Agency (NSA) has launched an investigation into its 'unmasking' of Tucker Carlson - after the spy agency initially denied he was ever under surveillance.

NSA Inspector General Robert Storch released a statement Tuesday announcing a review into recent allegations that the NSA 'improperly targeted the communications of a member of the US news media.'

The IG did not mention Carlson by name but a source confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that it relates to the Fox News host.

NSA’s internal watchdog will be neutered long before it finds any criminal evidence against NSA DeepStaters.

I'll save us all about 18 months and tell you the final report right now:

We at the NSA Inspector General's office find that NSA personnel were less than forthright about their surveillance of a U.S. Citizen, but those involved with the surveillance have since retired, and can no longer be compelled by this office to answer questions.

NSA didn’t initiate the snoop. Someone from the WH had to have initiated the order.

We have determined that every attempt to spy on Tucker was performed in Hillary Clinton’s bathroom which has been previously determined to be a secure location from which no funny business can emanate.

I saw an interesting claim. One of the CNN people (I think Don Lemon) is really a friend of Tucker and that is why they don’t bash each other.

I don’t watch either so don’t know if true.

You left out one part of the final report:
All of our trained professional NSA investigators accidentally wiped their cell phones clean in the same way.

It says somewhere that Robert Storch received this portfolio. When he discovered a number of files ahead of this one in his stack, he outsourced the investigation to Michael Horowitz.

Horowitz announced in a press conference that he looks forward to getting this investigation started. For improved synergy, he said he has teamed up with John Durham.

In a joint press conference, the two emphasized that a report would be forthcoming and all scofflaws could plan on going to the slammer.

Still with the secrecy. It's just part of their DNA.

“Edward Snowden is the only hero amongst all of the IC minions.”

No kidding. We watched the movie last week, mouths gaping open as they showed how spying was done, and who the targets were. Targets = everyone. What if he hadn’t spilled the beans?
