Rand Paul demands investigation into Tucker Carlson's NSA 'spying' accusations
Washington Examiner ^ | July 12 | Jake Dima

Posted on 07/19/2021 10:34:42 AM PDT by RandFan

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul demanded an investigation on Friday into the National Security Agency after Fox News host Tucker Carlson accused the government body of spying on his show and unmasking his email correspondence.

On Wednesday, the popular TV personality claimed the NSA illegally leaked private messages to members of the media after a report from Axios said Carlson contacted the Kremlin to arrange an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Late last month, Carlson initially alleged the NSA was spying on his program in an attempt to remove his show from on-air broadcasting.

"I write to you to demand that you investigate the National Security Agency's (NSA) alleged spying and unmasking of Tucker Carlson, as well as any leaks of his private emails from the NSA to other reporters," Paul wrote in a letter to NSA Director Gen. Paul Nakasone.

Remember when we were told that 17 intel agencies all said the Trump / Russia dossier was legit? And it’s 100% fake?

Yeah they’ll really take this letter seriously.

Sternly worded letter....

It is more than any other swamp dweller has done. You have to start somewhere. I find a lot of negativity and hopelessness on this board lately.

Why is The Examiner putting “spying” in quotes?
The Biden regime DID spy on Tucker Carlson.

The Obama/Biden/Harris NSA spying program on Tucker might have been called off when the Obama/Biden/Harris administration discovered that the Tucker/Ryan/Fox cabal was instrumental in the squashing of any mention of election fraud within the Fox network(s).
Thereby allowing a smooth, non-confrontational transition for Obama/Biden/Harris into the White House.

At least 2 prominent Fox hosts (Lou Dobbs and Trish Regan) were even fired for questioning or mentioning election fraud.

Not to mention Fox called Arizona for Biden before the polls were closed. People were still standing in line waiting to vote.

The Fox cabal had to act fast because it looked like Trump was going to win.

Fox never dreamed there would be audits. Now they have to keep up the useless Milley and Hunter stories.

So, Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott have been demanding answers, too? No? Then what have Lindsey or Tim been doing? Anyone?

Sternly worded letter....

Our side makes lots of demands when they are in no position to demand anything, makes for good campaign sound bytes.

“Sternly worded letter.”

Republicans are masters of writing sternly worded letters. All window dressing in a futile attempt to hide their impotence from the voters. The truly powerful don’t waste time writing letters.
