Recall about a month ago that Tucker spent about a month whining, screaming, playing the victim of deep state targeting a big-time conservative mouth that won’t shut it and stop lying? Either you remember easily, or you have a life that involves some enjoyment and fulfillment that doesn’t center around politics. Either position is entirely acceptable.

Indeed, we all wasted our time listening to Tucker bloviate with self-importance about the outrageous “spying” on him. It didn’t happen. This, of course, won’t shock anyone, since very little of which Tucker reports actually happens.

The Record has some good news, or bad – depending on how much Tucker needed to sound like a victim.

The NSA has found no evidence to support Tucker Carlson’s accusations that the agency had been spying on him in an effort to knock his show off the air, two people familiar with the matter told The Record.

Aion by the spy agency, prompted by congressional inquiries, found that the Fox News host’s communications were not targeted n examinat— as the NSA has previously stated publicly — nor intercepted through so-called “incidental collection,” where the U.S. government sometimes obtains the emails or phone calls of Americans in contact with a foreign target under surveillance, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Correspondence between intelligence agencies and oversight authorities are conducted through classified means.

So, now, here is the thing that happened, which, amazingly enough is exactly what we predicted:

Instead, the nation’s top electronic spy agency found that Carlson was mentioned in communications between third parties and his name was subsequently revealed through “unmasking,” a process in which relevant government officials can request the identities of American citizens in intelligence reports to be divulged provided there is an official reason, such as helping them make sense of the intelligence documents they are reviewing.

As we have said through the Trump campaigns whining about being “targeted” and Tucker’s complaints, it is not the intelligence community’s fault if two top Russian spies, or Saudi spies, or Chinese spies, or whomever, say something like, “Our top propaganda source, Tucker Carlson of Fox News, insists he be paid in cash this time for relaying our message on the air.” If one is in that position, it’s simply not the government’s fault.

We give an extreme example for context, we have no information as to why Tucker was mentioned as a third person in a call.

American intelligence spies on suspected foreign agents in order to protect us, that is the deal and it’s a service we need to keep safe. Every other country does it. Listening in or watching two agents who then start talking about you is not our intelligence community’s fault. And, if one has integrity and is not selling us out, it is just as likely to clear a person as put them under suspicion.

“Tucker Carlson refused our offer of $50,000 in cash to say that Putin privately believes that working with Trump was far tougher than Biden.” If Tucker is a good American who wouldn’t dare take rubles to relay a message, he was just cleared by being a third person exposed in the conversation.

Except Tucker freaked out and acted like a guilty man. There are some of us who realize that Google and Twitter likely know everything there is to know about us anyway and will not find anything too exciting. Perhaps they’d find a bit embarrassing stuff, like the fact that the only guy on staff, behind her back, thinks the owner of the site is just gorgeous, ridiculously smart, talented, and thin woman who knocks men over with a smile. It would be embarrassing for that secret to be revealed and it might result in a loss of a job or a raise, but certainly not get one thrown in jail.

Tucker acted a little bit freaked out. We wonder why?
