Don’t know whether NSA is *specifically* spying on Carlson, but this statement is worthless. 1st, it denies a compound allegation re “monitoring” *and* taking show off air. 2nd, it says he’s not a “target,” which is a term of art. Real danger is so-called “incidental collection.” pic.twitter.com/xfKP5DGdML

Classic non-denial denial. Notice they say "never a target", no "plans" to remove from the air, and that they legally may not "target" such a person. What they do NOT say is that they are not intercepting his communications. In other words, they are. https://t.co/juUXXrgtnC

.....Tucker isn’t the target—only incidental to the target.

The NSA doesn’t *currently* have plans to shut down his show.
The Tucker quote is two allegations, but NSA denies it as one, the motte and bailey technique.
✅ This statement is consistent with Tucker being monitored. https://t.co/jp9WFUVEhV
