Tucker blasts Mueller deputy ripping NSA claim: 'Beyond belief' to be 'lectured about patriotism' by him
Fox News
Fox News host Tucker Carlson responded Friday on “Fox News Primetime” to criticism after his revelation the NSA had reportedly "unmasked" him in communications in which he sought an interview with Vladimir Putin.
"What I'm concerned about here is not that there was incidental collection when I am calling a foreigner … if you try to reach out to Vladimir Putin, you can pretty much be sure that your going to be high risk of being intercepted – [but Carlson] could have said, look, there is a First Amendment issue here and I want to make sure that there are safeguards at the Department of Justice," Weissmann said Friday. "But he didn't take that route. He … wanted to use this really for his own purposes and to sow distrust which is so anti-American instead of raising legitimate issues about safeguards in the system when you are dealing with journalists." Additionally, ex-FBI Assistant Director of Counterintelligence-turned MSNBC contributor Frank Figliuzzi openly doubted whether Carlson is telling the truth about a "whistleblower" informing him of his name being identified by the NSA.More Related News
