Psaki Refuses To Answer Question On Tucker Carlson’s Spying Claim: The NSA ‘Focuses On Foreign Threats’
DailyCaller ^ | 06/29/2021 | Virginia Kruta

Posted on 06/29/2021 11:42:10 AM PDT by ScubaDiver

White House press secretary Jen Psaki dismissed a question Tuesday about Fox News host and Daily Caller cofounder Tucker Carlson’s claims that the NSA is spying on him.

Carlson made the assertions during Monday’s broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” — saying that the NSA was monitoring his communications in an effort to get his show taken off the air. Psaki was asked about Tucker’s claims when she spoke with reporters on Air Force One just hours later.

“Tucker Carlson said that the NSA is spying on him. Is the administration aware of any espionage or listening efforts on US citizens by the NSA, and is Tucker Carlson one of them?” a reporter asked Psaki.

“Well, the NSA has, I think you are well aware, everyone’s aware, everyone on this plane is aware, I should say, is an entity that focuses on foreign threats and individuals who are attempting to do us harm on foreign soil,” Psaki replied. “So that is their purview, but beyond that I would point you to the intelligence community.”

Not that I had any doubt before. But, she won't even answer the question with a pro-forma; 'Of course we're not spying on Tucker Carlson.'

“So that is their purview, but beyond that I would point you to the intelligence community.”

That’s a well crafted non-denial denial. Those who don’t pay attention will not have their slumber disturbed.

The NSA ‘Focuses On Foreign Threats’

Have any of the Five Eyes surveillance services been spying on Tucker Carlson, and have they shared that intelligence with the Biden administration?

Is the administration aware of any espionage or listening efforts on US citizens by the NSA, and is Tucker Carlson one of them?

Question should have been "do you deny the NSA is spying on Tucker Carlson"?

"Well, the NSA has, I think you are well aware, everyone’s aware, everyone on this plane is aware, I should say, is an entity that focuses on foreign threats and individuals who are attempting to do us harm on foreign soil,” Psaki replied. “So that is their purview, but beyond that I would point you to the intelligence community.”"

I would take that as a yes.

She didn’t answer the question, which means yes, they were spying on Tucker. How is it that Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and a host of other politicians commit dozens of crimes, from influence peddling to murder, but none of them has even been in a courtroom yet. And they wonder why America has lost confidence in its rule of law.

Nope, none of them ever ends up in a courtroom for clear felonies, but little old ladies from Pasadena are ending up in Solitary without bail for the crime of walking through an open door into the Capitol.

Rule of law? Sure, if you assume we live in mediaeval England and are ruled by a despotic aristocracy.

The NSA (according to what I’ve read) stores all text messages and emails, possibly at their Utah facility. That doesn’t mean they “read” all these (that would be impossible) but that they could select those they want to read.

A “no-response” answer is an admission of guilt.
