Carlson was in direct contact with people close to Putin. SOP calls for monitoring that type of contact.
Tucker Carlson was in talks with people close to Vladimir Putin to arrange an interview, it has been reported, at the time the Fox News host says his emails were spied on by the NSA.

Does "SOP" also call for leaking info about an unmasked U.S. citizen to media sources? That's illegal. What pisses them off is Carlson was able to get ahead of their little attempted psyop against him. He exposed them and the NSA issued a non-denial, denial. The plan must have been to leak his emails to the intermediaries that he was reaching out to for help TO SECURE AN INTERVIEW WITH PUTIN. The Left has gone quite insane where Russia is concerned. Carlson's "crime" was to be a journalist that they wanted to discredit.
The fact that you supporters of this criminal behavior by our government, are all on board with a journalist being illegally unmasked tells me you are fully supportive of whatever it takes to crush your opposition. That may well come back to haunt you someday.
