    Unmasking and leaking to the media is illegal so…

    Such are the jackboots in our country. Illegally spying is AOK on political opponents.

    Once again, in record time in this case, conspiracy theory has become conspiracy fact.

    You are 100% correct that Tucker is not the first journalist this has happened to. And Tucker understands and demonstrates that by having Sharyl Attkisson on the show to explain her very same experiences 14 years ago, a case that is still in court. Tucker has had Glenn Greenwald on the show several times, because he too has been involved in such cases.

    The proof is there. Wake up and smell the napalm--the rule of constitutional governance does not exist in the US.

    Well if I have the story as presented correct, he wasn't a target, he was caught up in communication with an actual target and was then unmasked by the administration. If Tucker was trying to arrange an interview through the Russian embassy or press office, those would have been targets that are constantly monitored, so any communication he had with targeted entities would have been swept up.

    That's all perfectly legitimate. The illegal part would be if he was unmasked by the administration with the intent of leaking the contents. Of course, given the fact that the Trump administration was never able to get to the bottom of the unmasking that occurred during his campaign, I think there is about zero chance that we'll ever get to the bottom of this story even if it's true. So there is no incentive for the alleged anonymous source to come clean since that person will have their life destroyed and the story will still go no where.

    There’s some <COMMENTS EDITED> who are more concerned with the partisan angle, opposed to another potential abuse of power by the federal government, and it’s little jack booted minions in the security agencies.
    Who cares if it’s Tucker Carlson, the alleged abuse is the issue.

    Rebuilt it ? Give your head a shake Steve - the Swamp was never dismantled - so there is nothing for Biden to "Rebuild" - just reshape.
    Trump did the same thing - its how our pay to play system works - when you get elected .. you appoint "quid pro Quo" the soldiers of your Patron money God.

    Biden has not rebuilt anything - just maintaining the Status Quo.

    How did he find out? Who knew about his communications with Putin and let the word out?

    How did Tucker know he was trying to get an interview with Putin?

    There is nothing wrong with a journalist meeting with a foreign power. Doubtful the NSA red flagged that.

    Trump failed to "drain the swamp".
    That is why he is back in Florida.

    Tucker was not spied on, at most he was talking to a Russian national that was being spied on...very big difference.

    How can it be refilling since it never was drained and got deeper during the Trump years?

    Yes, unmasking is a serious felony, but laws are applied very selectively now. ;-)

    Carlson has been described by several reporters as one of the 'best sources' for their stories. Tucker knows all about leaking and gossiping. Apparently, it has now come around to bite him in the ass.

    sounds to me like he heard this was about to leak and is working on damage control, why working with Russians again?

    True. But in the official way of doing things, Carlson is supposed to be referred to as Person A, Interviewer B, or Citizen C. Someone exposed his name and leaked it. Now the question is why.

    Dude, his job is to tell stories. He’s not a political insider.

    He is notorious for gossiping with left wing media - has even been known to be the source of some negative inside Trump information. Do some reading!

    Why interview Russians? Isn't that what journalists do? The only one 'working' with Russians is Biden.
