Remember when a president got impeached for wiretapping the phones of his political enemies?
What about allegedly using the NSA to read the texts and emails of a national TV host and digging up dirt on his network?

Here's the transcript of the most essential part:
Yesterday, we heard from a whistleblower within the U.S. government who reached out to warn us that the NSA – the National Security Agency – is monitoring our electronic communications. It is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air. Now that's a shocking claim, and ordinarily we'd be skeptical – it is illegal for the NSA to spy on American citizens. It's a crime. It's not a third-world country, things like that should not happen in America. But unfortunately they do happen and in this case they did happen.
The whistleblower, who is in a position to know, repeated back to us information about a story that we are working on, that could have only come directly from my texts and emails. There's no other possible source for that information, period. The NSA captured that information without our knowledge and did it for political reasons.
The Biden administration is spying on us. We have confirmed that.
I have no way to confirm Tucker's claims, but I have no reason to disbelieve him, either.
Unless he's staking his entire career on a fabrication, we all have something very serious to worry about.
If our political class is weaponizing intelligence agencies to spy on the media (remember that claim being lobbed against a certain Orange Man Bad?), it means they are justifying it by claiming anyone outside the leftist worldview is a dissident worthy of investigation.
Tucker has filed a Freedom of Information Act request and is calling on members of Congress to investigate the matter.
