Weissmann: ‘Anti-American’ for Tucker Carlson to Complain About NSA Surveillance
breitbart ^ | 8 Jul 2021 | PAM KEY

Posted on 07/09/2021 7:01:14 PM PDT by MarvinStinson

Andrew Weissmann, the lead prosecutor for former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Fox News host Tucker Carlson was “anti-American” for questioning being monitored by the NSA.

Weissmann said, “If you think about what Tucker Carlson could have done here, he could have followed the same route that “The New York Times” and other respected journalists did when they were incidentally overheard and may have, in fact, not been incidentally had their call records obtained by the Department of Justice. They could have gone to the attorney general, and Tucker Carlson could have joined them to say what I’m concerned about here is not that there was incidental collection when I am calling a foreigner, including if you try to reach out to Vladimir Putin, you can pretty much be sure you’re going to be high risk of being intercepted.”

He continued, “He could have said, look, there’s a First Amendment issue, and I want to be sure there are safeguards, but he didn’t take that route. He did, as you said, and as frank pointed out, he wanted to use this for his own purposes and to sow distrust which is so anti-American. Instead of raising a legitimate issue about safeguards in the system when you’re dealing with journalists to make sure that this is not something that senior officials in the department are making sure this was done responsibly.”/

It is unAmerican for a freedom hating FBI punk like Weissman to be free after all the crap he has pulled.

So Weissmann, who is supposedly an attorney, thinks the perpetrators should be allowed to investigate themselves? Does he realize how guilty he’s making them sound?

Isn’t it rich how libs suddenly got “patriotic” in the last few years?

It’s “patriotic” to wear masks.

Now it’s “anti-American” to check on the NSA.

It was treasonous to protest at the Capitol.

Hillary suddenly showed us how bad Russia is to collude with. After decades of libs loving it.

Is there anything more sickening than Weissmann telling us what an American is?

“...this was done responsibly...”

And “Weissman” should NEVER be in the same paragraph.

I don’t believe I’ll be taking any advice from a rat like you, Weissmann, nor do I think Tucker Carlson will either.

Weissman's point sounds very reasonable in the abstract. But in reality, we know that the response would have been - at best - to listen politely, then do absolutely mothing about it and laugh at Tucker behind his back.

The only relevant question will be if the NSA will prosecute criminally the employee who leaked this data to the press. Which they won't.

Actually Tucker (and Fox) is anti-American for being complicit by omission in election fraud schemes to get rid of Trump.
Their silence on election fraud is deafening.

They're getting what they wanted. And hopefully what they deserve.

Rot in hell.

It is unAmerican for a punk like Andrew Weissman to continue to intake oxygen.

Unbelievable!

Tucker “sowed distrust which is so anti-American”

And NSA spying on citizens ISN’T anti-American?

Which is the more serious offense? The spying? Or revealing the spying? Give me a break.

Tucker has not sown distrust

THE NSA HAS SOWN THE DISTRUST

Classic blaming the victim, NSA is a behemoth crybully

And probably still tapping Tucker’s private communications
