It was proven that Obama also spied on FOX reporters, I think the guy won a lawsuit.

If you want to predict what’s going to become of this accusation by Tucker Carlson, the history of one reporter - Sharyl Attkisson is instructive.

See here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharyl_Attkisson#Computer_hacking_allegations

In May 2013, while still employed by CBS, Attkisson alleged that her personal and work computers had been “compromised” for more than two years.

CBS News stated that it had investigated her work computer and found evidence of multiple unauthorized accesses by a third party in late 2012. The U.S. Department of Justice denied any involvement.

In her 2014 book, she wrote that a forensic examination revealed that her personal computer was hacked with keystroke logging spyware, enabling an intruder to read all her e-mail messages and gain access to the passwords for her financial accounts.

In late January 2015, Attkisson appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee during a confirmation hearing for Loretta Lynch, President Obama’s nominee to replace outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder. As part of her appearance in front of that committee, a report by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) was released stating that “their investigation was not able to substantiate... allegations that Attkisson’s computers were subject to remote intrusions by the FBI, other government personnel, or otherwise” and the deletion seen in Attkisson’s video “appeared to be caused by the backspace key being stuck, rather than a remote intrusion”.

In March 2015, Attkisson and her family filed suit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia against Holder, Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe, and unnamed agents of the US Department of Justice, the US Postal Service and the United States, alleging that they had been subject to illegal surveillance activities.

The government then moved her case to a D.C. federal court, and the case was eventually transferred to a federal court in Virginia.

In 2017, federal judge Leonie Brinkema dismissed Attkisson’s case, finding that Attkisson’s lawsuit failed to allege sufficient facts to make a plausible claim that either defendant personally engaged in the alleged surveillance”.

Attkisson appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in 2019, which affirmed the lower court’s dismissal of the case.

Two of the three judges on the panel agreed dismissal was justified because plaintiffs failed to name specific agents being accused of surveillance, and that they “failed to act diligently in pursuing that discovery”, citing “significant periods of inactivity”. Judge James Wynn Jr. wrote a dissenting opinion claiming that delays were not the fault of plaintiffs, but due to Justice Department lawyers deliberately using tactics to delay the process and “run out the clock” before Attkisson’s lawyers could find those being accused. Judge Wynn found it plausible that “Attkisson never got a meaningful opportunity to pursue her claims”.

I went to the NSA on a service call to repair some equipment in 1996.

NSA employee to me in 1996: “We have EVERYTHING.”.........................

The NSA literally collects all communications in the USA.

The question is - who is accessing the info, and for what purpose?

During the Obama regime, scores of “contractors” had access to the data, which they used for political purposes, including spying on Trump

When Adm. Mike Rogers shut them down, literally the next day was when the FBI began its entrapment of Papadopoulos and Page and their fake FISA requests.

Now that the Deep state and their Dem puppets are back in charge, its probably far worse than ever

Don’t forget that back when Newt was Speaker, a “couple” was caught with a cell phone skimmer that recorded all of Newt’s calls.

They publicized some budget conversations and when called to explain how they obtained the calls, they said they were just playing with a newly bought radio receiver.

I don’t believe anything happened to them and they disappeared quickly into the woodwork.

You'll get no sympathy from me Tucker.

You and all of Fox chose to promote/accept the fake election to keep your cushy job, the good ones that didn't have been fired.

That says more about your bosses than the NSA spying.

By accepting the election fraud, you've allowed Obama to continue his "transformation of America" through his puppets Biden/Harris.

You selfishly saved your job by being complicit in betraying the country.

I say tough shit Tucker, I hope you get all you deserve.

Tucker should make up some funny stories and the spies will spread them and look like fools (or even more like fools than now).

“Don’t tell anyone but Trump told me he’s quietly been made Governor of American Samoa. He has a home there legally. He will be totally immune to prosecution.”

This was my slight alteration of the Doonesbury plot involving Uncle Duke. This got him out of the impossible situation of shouting up in the dark from his boat to another boat: “You throw down the money and then I’ll throw you the dope.” The reply was it was a US Coast Guard boat.

Less than six months into Obama’s second term we learned that his Justice Department secretly obtained two months of phone records for AP reporters and editors.

Talk about paranoia...feeling the need to spy upon their enablers.

Of course it should be taken seriously. Given what we've seen in recent times...particularly over the last 5 years...is there *any* form of criminality/deception that Rat Party Headquarters wouldn't engage in

We all know the answer to *that * one!

They did the same to other conservative journalists in the past. It’s well documented they’ve been lawbreakers for a long time.
