The Biden Administration is Spying on Tucker Carlson

The CIA spied on Congress and John Brennan lied about it. He was not fired. FISA was abused to spy on the Trump campaign. Opponents of the Iran deal were certain that they were being surveilled. One person said on the John Batchelor Show that the Obama administration responded too quickly to their press releases. The Deep State has become the Stasi. We need to throw the bums out in Congress and fire everyone in the top three layers of the FIB, CIA, etc. Let the good ones apply for reinstatement.

That is why the Right is destined to lose. Maybe die. But they will lose and die nobly, which seem to be all that the Right wants. Â
More like a return-to-last-known-good point.
I would volunteer to help with that. I’d even take time off to deliver the appropriate remedy.
Got some cold boots handy?
That sounds painful. And hob-nailed.
Added: I see by all the other responses that this was a particularly colorful and evocative phrasing.
Andy McCarthy has been thoroughly discredited; he is either incredibly gullible, or corrupt.Â
“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me eighty-seven times, shame on me.”
I disagree more or less but don’t really feel like arguing about it. Â McCarthy has his areas of knowledge and areas that he should avoid. Â There is no one on this site who has a greater depth of knowledge on the operations of federal criminal prosecutions than McCarthy. Â Â Impeachment, not so much.
McCarthy’s expertise seems to be fully rooted in the past, in all areas. I can’t remember the last time I heard anything from him that applied to now.
Andy McCarthy: “Well I worked closely in that area for years/decades, and those are honorable people who would never do X!”
The World: “Uh, Andy? They did X.”
McCarthy:Â “I’m shocked!”
Rinse and Repeat.
P.S.:Â Something similar often happens with Peter Robinson too.
Areas he should avoid seem to include evaluating the integrity of federal prosecutors, or for that matter the agencies as a whole, and yet that hasn’t stopped him. Â
Well, that could be said about most people who are no longer doing what they used to be doing. Â I don’t know about the limits of “now,” but his coverage of the Russian collusion hoax was essential reading IMO. Â I’d concede that he seems to be vulnerable on the issue of “the more exposure you get, the more you depart from the expertise that earned you that exposure,” but I have the same concern about VDH.
Wasn’t that only after he stopped insisting that people he used to work with and others in those and related positions, would never do such things? It seems he still hasn’t learned that lesson in some areas.
For the disbelievers, after Snowden and all the crap that went on the Obama administration, they are obviously so obtuse that they should be ignored.Â
I doubt such a point ever existed.Â
Was he already crazy when he wrote “Liberal Fascism” etc? Maybe so, but it doesn’t seem as obvious as now.
Not crazy. Always been broken. Liberal Fascism vastly overrated.
The latest from Tucker. https://twitter.com/nicedeb/status/1410040949015711746?s=21 NSA issued a non-denial denial.
More Tucker https://twitter.com/marinamedvin/status/1410052964299984897?s=21
Â
Spoiler alert: The NSA is spying on *all* of us.  Snowden proved that already. All calls. All text messages. All emails.   The question is if somebody is mining the data to collect info on Tucker. This could be like those “about” queries that the FBI contractors were running on Obama’s political enemies (allegedly).Â
Then how is the USPS supposed to be reviewing NSA records to determine the presence of homegrown white-supremacist extremists?
Hereâs a guest who was on Tucker tonight. The Deep State is an independent entity.
He isnât corrupt but naive but admits when he is wrong.Â
And then he goes back to believing in what he was naive about, and then is wrong again, and then goes back to believing in what he was naive about…
When that happens over and over, maybe someone isn’t corrupt, but…. what? Just another Useful Idiot?
So the NSA is practically admitting in public that Tucker is right.
–Actually McCarthy is pretty much out of touch with modern processes. Like so many of the talking heads, he hasnt been in an actual courtroom in decades.
–I prefer to get my legal information from actual trial lawyers, like Kurt Schlicter, Robert Barnes and our own @arizonapatriot. Â
–So basically they have FISA warrant, which we know has been thoroughly corrupted. What was the AG’s report an average of 20 errors per file, the highest being 67 errors?
Exactly. That’s why Jonah Goldberg shows he is a clown.
I can’t imagine that they–all of the federal security agencies–would not be watching him every single second.Â
He has a following and he challenges the government.Â
Â
I was thinking rubber gloves, but OK.
Â
So they are admitting to having a court order the explicitly authorizes them to target Tucker?
