NSA Claims No Spying On Tucker Carlson In Broadly-Worded Denial
• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler DurdenIn a Tuesday tweet that nobody can respond to, the agency said that the allegation is "untrue," adding "Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the Agency and the NSA has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air."
"NSA has a foreign intelligence mission. We target foreign powers to generate insights on foreign activities that could harm the United States. With limited exceptions (e.g. an emergency), NSA may not target a US citizen without a court order that explicitly authorizes the targeting.
First, it's bizarre that @NSAGov allow no replies.

Second, NSA has used this same deceit for years: they can spy on US citizens' communications without "targeting" the American.
Third, NSA has extremely broad authorities to collect communications without "targeting" a person. https://t.co/vAgaSS0x1k
I've never heard of an intelligence agency responding to allegations arising from entertainment, from a political commentary TV show. https://t.co/hCVG3YkbJn
